Editorial Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

This page covers how we research, write, edit, and maintain the content on delta-iosexecuter.com. We publish it openly so readers can judge our work against our own standards.

Who writes the content

Every article on this site is written by one of two people:

  • Adam Holloway - founder and lead writer. Background in mobile QA and iOS app distribution. Writes all install guides, troubleshooting articles, and technical reference content.
  • Priya Menon - editor. Background in mobile gaming community management. Writes community-focused content (Discord guides, FAQ articles) and edits everything Adam publishes before it goes live.

We don't use ghostwriters. We don't accept guest posts. Every byline on this site is a person who actually wrote the article.

How we research

For every install guide or troubleshooting article, we:

  1. Test the method ourselves on at least one current iOS device (the device list is in the About Us page)
  2. Document the exact steps as we perform them, including screenshots
  3. Verify the method on a second device with a different iOS version, when possible
  4. Cross-reference with the official Delta Discord server announcements and the Symaro team's release notes
  5. Cite our sources when claims come from third parties

If we haven't personally tested something, we say so in the article. We never present untested methods as verified.

How we handle AI-generated content

We use AI tools (including Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini) as research and drafting assistants - for structure, brainstorming, and first drafts of less critical sections. Every article is then rewritten, fact-checked, and signed off by a human author. No article on this site is published as a raw AI output.

We disclose AI assistance in our process because Google's Helpful Content guidelines require it. We do not, however, disclose it on individual articles - the human editorial layer is what matters for quality, not the tooling that helped the first draft.

How often we update

iOS sideloading changes constantly. Our update cadence:

  • Install guides for current iOS versions: reviewed within 48 hours of any major Apple or Delta release
  • Troubleshooting articles: reviewed monthly, updated when new errors are reported by readers
  • Reference content (FAQ, glossary, etc.): reviewed quarterly
  • Older guides covering deprecated iOS versions: flagged with a notice at the top once they're no longer current, kept available for archive purposes

Every article displays a "Last updated" date at the top. If the date is more than 6 months old, treat the content with extra scrutiny.

How we handle corrections

If we publish something wrong, here's what we do:

  1. Verify the correction - we don't change articles based on a single email without checking
  2. Update the article - incorrect content is replaced, not just struck through
  3. Add a correction note at the bottom of the article noting what was changed and when, if the change is material
  4. Email the person who reported the error to confirm the fix

To report a correction: priya@delta-iosexecuter.com

How we handle conflicts of interest

We currently have no commercial relationships with any sideloading tool, signing service, IPA host, or Roblox-related entity. If that changes, we will:

  • Disclose the relationship in the affected article
  • Mark affiliate links as sponsored or nofollow per Google's guidelines
  • Update the Affiliate Disclosure page

What we won't publish

A few things we've decided not to cover, on purpose:

  • Tutorials on bypassing Roblox's anti-cheat directly - we cover executor installation, not anti-cheat circumvention
  • Hosting of IPA files - we link to the official Symaro distribution; we do not redistribute their software
  • Apple ID exploits or credential bypass - anything that touches account credential systems
  • Content aimed at users we believe are under 13

Reader feedback

This editorial policy is a living document. If you think a standard above is too lax, too strict, or unclear, email priya@delta-iosexecuter.com. We've updated this page based on reader feedback before and will again.
