make an altstore repo
this would make installing and updating the app easier for altstore users
you can use this site to create the repo json file: https://altsource.by.lao.sb/

Will consider it
In the case that you do this, it's decent to know that https://github.com/opa334/TrollStore/releases/latest/download/TrollInstaller.ipa will always link to TrollInstaller.ipa in the latest stable release, ignoring pre-releases.
@fox8091 not sure if linking to that in the altstore repo is a good idea, since there's metadata like the app version and changelog which would become incorrect whenever there's a new release. also i don't think altstore would notify you when a new version becomes available
Fair enough, though I thought TrollStore self-updated after the initial install.
Not needed anymore as TrollInstaller no longer exists.
