We're working hard to finish Delta 2.0, but implementing Liquid Glass is taking more time than expected.

if your Apple ID is Japanese and you set your App Store region to Japan, yes you should be able to install PAL if you’re in Japan!
There might be some delay before your device registers you’re in Japan however, so may not work immediately

unfortunately if you updated to iOS 26.1 before updating AltStore PAL, the only way to make apps re-appear in My Apps is to delete them and reinstall 😕
We are working with Apple though and they’ve confirmed a fix should be available in an upcoming iOS update (e.g. 26.1.1), and we’ll let you know once that’s available

⚠️ A bug in iOS 26.1 may cause apps to disappear from the My Apps tab in AltStore PAL. We strongly advise against updating immediately.
If you’re already on iOS 26.1, AltStore PAL 2.2.1 is now available with some changes to mitigate the impact of this bug. We're sorry for the inconvenience and will let you know once a permanent fix is available.

To be clear, this is NOT an issue for our users who installed Delta with AltStore PAL in the EU.
If you’re an App Store user however, you can install our TestFlight build in the meantime while we work on another solution: https://testflight.apple.com/join/aFVsc4vY
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience to our App Store users, and we’ll let you know if we hear more from Apple.

2025-09-29 16:41:12 UTC

⚠️ Apple is blocking Delta’s iOS 26 bug fix update
Despite announcing they would no longer hold up bug fix updates for guidelines violations, Apple called us directly saying they would not approve Delta’s iOS 26 bug fix update unless we added In-App Purchases worldwide.
We've only offered IAP in the US since adding them last December, and have released multiple updates since without issue. This sudden ask would take more time than we’d like and significantly delay these bug fixes for our users.
