AltStore 1.6b1: iOS 16, Lock Screen Widget, and Error Logs OH MY! (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,

We hope you're all having as much fun as we are customizing your lock screen! And if you want to give yours just a dash of sideloading, this beta release includes our new AltStore lock screen widget so that you can easily track your refreshes ♻️. We designed this widget to fit right in with all your other fun widget - with just a touch of branding for fun - so we hope you all make the most of it :)

Now, we really wanted to give you something more in this release, which is why we have also been working on a new Error Log screen to hopefully make troubleshooting your issues much easier! AltStore will now keep a record of your error messages allowing you to reference them at any time and find helpful solutions quicker. Not only this, but you can now tap on any error message and select “Search FAQ,” which will automatically take you to our Error Codes page for more detailed information. This beta is the first part of an ongoing process to reengineer error messages and troubleshooting for both AltStore and AltServer to make them more helpful, so we appreciate your patience as we build out a more robust system 🏗
