Delta 1.6b + Clip 1.2b betas now on AltStore PAL!

Howdy Patrons!

We have quite a few updates to share with you all, but first we want to thank everyone again for the overwhelming support we have received with the launch of AltStore PAL in the EU and Delta worldwide!

Delta has now been the #1 app in the App Store for two consecutive weeks, an outstanding achievement that has only been in our dreams until now. And it’s all of you supporting us for the past few years that’s enabled us to get to this point, so from the bottom of our hearts - thank you <3

There’s been plenty of coverage on AltStore and Delta, but we’ll share a recent article from the Washington Post that we think did a great job covering this whole saga: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/30/delta-emulator-iphone-apple-antitrust/

Now with that out of the way, let’s get into it!

First and foremost, AltStore PAL users can now access the betas of Delta and Clip! This means EU users can now experience the betas as normal apps - no refreshing!! So if you’re new here from AltStore PAL, welcome 🙂 we’re excited to have you here.

In Delta 1.6b, we’ve added brand-new gestures to make common actions more convenient. If you’re tired of needing to go to the pause menu every time you want to change your hold buttons or toggle Fast Forward, this feature is for you! Now you can just hold down the menu and do a quick gesture to activate repetitive features easily. We’re starting out with just a couple of gestures, but let us know what actions you'd like to see next!

To use the gestures, first hold down the Menu button then:

⏩ Swipe left/right (Fast Forward)

👇 Tap a button (Hold Button)

PAL users also can now access Clip 1.2b which has one major feature we’re very excited about - a custom keyboard ⌨️ This is a big QoL improvement making it much easier to use your clipboard wherever you need it. You can now access your pasteboard directly from any text field by just switching to Clip's keyboard where you can quickly see all your clippings!

We'll have lots more to share with you in the next updates, so stay tuned! :)
