The Patreon API doesn’t have a way to fetch just the patrons belonging to our Friend Zone tier. Instead, we need to fetch ALL patrons (including inactive ones) and filter out those not in the tier. This is very inefficient, and takes over a minute to complete as of April 14, 2022, due to the number of patrons we have.
We can’t do much to change this, but AltStore will now at least cache the fetched patrons with Core Data. Additionally, AltStore will only perform this long fetch whenever the Friend Zone list actually changes, rather than every time the Patreon screen appears.
Previously, only the beta version of AltStore could add sources. Now, the public version supports adding explicitly “trusted” sources, while the beta version can continue to add any source.
If a jailbreak app contains the relevant Fugu14 entries in its Info.plist, AltStore will automatically guide the user through the Fugu14 untether process before installing the jailbreak.
Refreshing with provisioning profiles causes apps to become untrusted on iOS 14 or later. As a (hopefully) temporary workaround, we instead now always re-install apps to refresh them on iOS 14+ jailbroken devices, which does still work as expected.
