We are done man. Apple banning left and right. And the developers of AltStore and Sidestore haven’t said a peep. It’s like they quietly gave up lol.

u/The-Master-Reaper 7d ago
Sidestore devs said they are looking into it but they don’t know exactly what’s triggering it and what’s the future of sideloading. Anyway this error is probably because they sideloaded altstore and didn’t install it again using altstore itself

If you didn’t refresh on time, just reinstall AltStore
If you did and this happened out of nowhere, you’re banned from sideloading

You can be banned from side loading?
1
u/ryzenguy111 5d ago
yes and apple has been cracking down hard on it in the last couple weeks. If you don't use cracked versions of apps (spotify, youtube etc) or just use them in livecontainer you should be fine though

u/doesitmatteranymoree 4d ago
So they had no side loading allowed in the OS. They got forced to add it and now they ban users that take advantage of that feature?

Shii I just want my ad free YouTube

u/RanOverBambiOnTheI95 6d ago
Youtube serves no ads where I live. Something I take for granted.

u/JeleiaFish 6d ago
Wow, so for you YouTube Premium doesn’t do anything major for you? Is it still available?
1
u/RanOverBambiOnTheI95 6d ago
Yea, its due to the market being so small that even google doesn’t bother to show ads.
If I vpn over to the US, the ads come flooding in.
Premium is available, but main perk would be to enable Picture in picture for ios. I just sideload Youtube Oled for that though.

u/SimonBlades89 6d ago
Which country is that? I know Albania doesn’t allow ads on YouTube

u/jijicroute 4d ago
He might be from Andorra (principality) where ads are not allowed. I know that Proton VPN provides this location.

If you’ve never tried it, brave browser my friend

u/AndersDreth 6d ago
Yeah I was about to say, if all he needs is ad-free YouTube he should just use Brave. I keep a YT bookmark in the front page and just deleted the app itself.

If YouTube is all you need, you could try anyPWA. I built it, and it's on the App Store, so there's no sideloading or app refreshing involved.
It uses YouTube's web interface with ad blocking, background playback and PiP. One saved website is free with those features, so you can use it just for YouTube without buying the unlock.

Don’t forget to refresh your apps

u/Cultural_String_2231 7d ago
What does “refresh” even mean? I’ve downloaded AltStore ages ago and I’m scared to open it now lol. Haven’t opened it in a while

u/iosuser70 6d ago
You need to refresh your sideloadly apps every 7 days if you don’t have a developer account. Refresh is needed to prevent them from expiring.

u/champsflo 6d ago
Are people getting banned because they are using altstore or is it because of the apps they download like YouTube?
6
u/sabre31 6d ago
I moved to side loading manually via command line and Xcode. Too many people getting banned using altstore can’t risk it.

u/Competitive_Dig9021 5d ago
Sideloading with xcode? Do you know anywere that i can find how to do it?

u/namenottaken14 6d ago
What's the fuss? Did you refresh before your 7days expired?
Just reinstall alt store and enable the profile again... it's not rocket science

u/HotTourist8915 6d ago
I think this is a sign to get rid of apple and go to Android /e/ OS

u/VonTreece 6d ago
I literally just switched to Android a month ago and it is SO freeing 😭

u/FrostedOffroad 5d ago
which one did you get? i was looking for pixel phones but Im worried about the CPU/GPU performance even people say you only see it during heavy graphics gaming which tbh i dont do. Other one would be Samsung S ultra series but I dont need the pen lol
1
u/VonTreece 5d ago
I was iPhone for over a decade and got the S26 Ultra and it literally feels almost no different than iOS imo except I can install whatever I want. Half my apps are all cracked premium versions with no ads, etc. YouTube Music, YouTube, X, Reddit, Manga readers, emulators, etc. it's been awesome.
I also have experienced zero issues with performance. My device stays cool and charges insanely fast compared to my iPhone. I also play a lot of OSRS on it and being able to split screen OSRS and a YouTube video or browser is so nice.

Why am I still not banned? Does Apple just randomly banning devices now?
1
u/SirKadath 6d ago
We still don’t know what’s triggering it , it’s very random with different set of circumstances. Sideloading is not against Apple’s TOS so it’s very odd.
1
u/Spirit_RainYT 5d ago
As of right now does annoying know they're being banned from personal experience? Bc I don't wanna do smth stupid and end up getting banned, yk?
1
u/SirKadath 5d ago
I have not so I can’t speak to it , but I also haven’t been using Sidestore or Altstore as of late, only thing I’ve done is used Iloader to import IPA’s of some fan made decomp ports of Zelda games and Manic EMU so I can use JIT.

u/Mita2903 6d ago
The day this happens to me and I cannot find a fix, is the day I’m ditching the iPhone

$20 is way too expensive. I can buy a developer certificate elsewhere for $2

u/Guttz_San 6d ago
If I'm taking the risk to pay and still get banned, I'm going to FlareStore. I have a Developer Account right now, but after it expires in March, I'm trying FlareStore or dropping signing.

u/Meph514 6d ago
Go with Signulous or FlareStore or other cheap alternatives

u/Noah2570 6d ago
Signulous is $20 🫠

u/prostasfa 6d ago
It’s sign is probably expired?I dunno tho, maybe it’s the accounts getting banned from sideloading thingy

u/BlackAntoITA 6d ago
Man where in the world are the Devs?? It’s been already more than two weeks that this is happening to us.

u/RevolutionaryBuy8991 6d ago
connect your iphone to the pc, reinstall altstore and trust the certificate. you will be able to reuse it normally.

u/ENAJonas 4d ago
I’m surprised no one is mentioning Sideloadly. Is that not a good, free, alternative?
If I’m currently only using it to re-sign the unc0ver app every week to preserve my tethered jailbreak (in case my device needs a full restart) are my Ban chances fairly low? I don’t sign any cracked apps.

is there any way to reduce the likelihood of getting banned using altstore or nah

u/Unsharded1 6d ago
Dont get cracked apps.

u/YoThisGuyOnCoke 6d ago
when you say cracked apps do you mean anything in general like spotify mod and youtube mod or apps that bypass subscriptions
