Writer’s Note: I have tried and tested this method on my iOS device and Windows PC. This method is perfectly working so you can go for it.
Why AltStore is Essential for Installing Delta Emulator
The first step to downloading Delta Emulator on your iPhone is to get AltStore on your Windows/Mac and then your iOS device.
AltStore is a third-party app that enables iOS users to sideload apps onto their devices.
Sideloading refers to installing an app from outside the App Store, making it ideal for those wishing to download apps not available in the official store, such as Delta Emulator.
Through AltStore, iOS users have an alternative method for installing apps not found within the App Store.
One of the advantages of AltStore is its free download and use. Furthermore, it’s user-friendly, even for non-technical individuals.
AltStore also provides several customization options, like creating custom app icons for sideloaded apps.
