## README

One AltStore source for all my iPhone apps. In AltStore, go to Browse › Sources › + and add:

(That redirects to `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kshitizwagle/altstore/main/source.json`, which works too.)

## How it works

Each app lives in its own public repo, whose CI publishes an unsigned IPA as a GitHub release.
`apps.json` lists the apps (repo, IPA asset name, store text). `scripts/build_source.py` reads every
release of every app, takes the version, build and minimum iOS from each IPA's Info.plist, and writes
`source.json`. The `update source` workflow runs it hourly and commits any change. An app repo can send
a `release` repository dispatch to update it at once.

To add an app: add an entry to `apps.json` and its icon to `icons/`, then push.
