• Upload your .ipa file to either the #cdn channel on the Hack Club Slack, or another service, I created a GitHub release for my app.
• Make sure the URL is accessible, and that you can download it through an incognito window

Mark down the file size in bytes, you'll need it later!

• First of all, you'll need an app icon, recommended as a 1024x1024 PNG file, as well as screenshots, I'd recommend 3-4, and also a description of your app's features and functionality.

• Add your app to the apps array in altstore.json, using the template below / in AltStore Example.json

      {
        "name": "My Example App",
        "bundleIdentifier": "com.exampledeveloper.exampleapp",
        "marketplaceID": "",
        "developerName": "Example Developer",
        "subtitle": "An awesome app.",
        "localizedDescription": "This is an awesome app only available on AltStore.",
        "iconURL": "https://test.jpeg",
        "tintColor": "#22b0e3",
        "category": "other",
        "screenshots": [],
        "versions": [],
        "appPermissions": {
          "entitlements": [],
          "privacy": {}
        }
 {}
        }

  Make sure that this checks out with your internal build number on EAS/whichever service you use!

  This must be one of the below values. If no category is provided it will default to other
