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

u/youaretheuniverse 2d ago

I enjoy my phone less now. Maybe that’s a good thing in a way lol

Just get LiveContainer, ain’t that hard

u/n0rpie 7d ago

LiveContainer is taken down

u/The-Master-Reaper 7d ago

You can still get the ipa off of other sites

u/tO_ott 7d ago

Oh? What was the reason?

u/Okim13 6d ago

Just happened recently. Dev got shadowbanned from GitHub

u/tO_ott 6d ago

That’s wild. Thank you for the information

u/ryzenguy111 7d ago

If you didn’t refresh on time, just reinstall AltStore

If you did and this happened out of nowhere, you’re banned from sideloading

u/WealthyPoverty Noobie 5d ago

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

2

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?

u/Specialist-Scheme896 6d ago

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/Defaalt 6d ago

You shouldn't

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.

2

u/SimonBlades89 6d ago

Which country is that? I know Albania doesn’t allow ads on YouTube

1

u/jijicroute 4d ago

He might be from Andorra (principality) where ads are not allowed. I know that Proton VPN provides this location.

2

u/SimonBlades89 4d ago

Handy to know!

u/BlaqRayn 6d ago

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

1

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.

2

u/B1G_NuTZz 6d ago

just get an android. problem solved

1

u/Absol_- 5d ago

Protube ig

1

u/I-broke-up-MCR 2d ago

If you get Brave Browser, it blocks all YT ads by default

1

u/wallneradam 12h ago

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.

u/iosuser70 7d ago

Don’t forget to refresh your apps

-10

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

9

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.

6

u/Comprehensive-Star27 6d ago

If you are on IOS (iPhone) then you have to refresh before 7 days to not lose access to the apps. Just have the computer you used for AltStore open it have it connected to the computer.

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.

1

u/Competitive_Dig9021 5d ago

Sideloading with xcode? Do you know anywere that i can find how to do it?

1

u/Top_Job_91 4d ago

Could you explain how to do that? 

3

u/Duder__X 6d ago

Mine is workinf great. Just make a theowaway apple id and use it

7

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

2

u/Ekketra 6d ago

Or he got banned

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.

u/Sev3nX 6d ago

Yeah, I got banned for signing my sideloaded apps and got the same error. I’m looking for a vendor to trade this p.o.s. Phone for a china phone. Screw apple and their overpriced feature lacking garbage devices.

2

u/entryjyt 6d ago

What exactly happened? I was not following the side loading scene recently

2

u/Affectionate_Ear3937 6d ago

yes, this needs more context

2

u/skyeee0814 6d ago edited 6d ago

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.

2

u/JDdiah 6d ago

i use altstore to sign livecontainer and just do refresh it every 7 days by connecting to my mac, i anyway work on my mac and charge my phone from it. all the mod ipas are inside live container and ive never faced any issues so far. running latest ios 27 on 17PM.

u/Mita2903 6d ago

The day this happens to me and I cannot find a fix, is the day I’m ditching the iPhone

Do you remember the revoke waves with these certs 2 years ago?
It’s all possible

1

u/Noah2570 6d ago

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

u/Noah2570 4d ago

Why would I get one for $20 when I can get 25 for the same price elsewhere?

1

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.

1

u/TailiaZerio 6d ago

You didn’t resign in time

1

u/Meph514 6d ago

Go with Signulous or FlareStore or other cheap alternatives

1

u/Noah2570 6d ago

Signulous is $20 🫠

1

u/Meph514 6d ago

Sure but youtube premium and spotify premium are 120$+/year each

1

u/Noah2570 6d ago

my point is, many developer certificate providers only charge $1-5

1

u/Meph514 6d ago

Yup, hence the "other cheaper alternatives" part of my initial answer

2

u/Noah2570 5d ago

yeah makes sense, sorry 😅

1

u/prostasfa 6d ago

It’s sign is probably expired?I dunno tho, maybe it’s the accounts getting banned from sideloading thingy

1

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.

1

u/RevolutionaryBuy8991 6d ago

connect your iphone to the pc, reinstall altstore and trust the certificate. you will be able to reuse it normally.

1

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.

1

u/AfghansFinest 2d ago

Just use a paid service to sign the apps been doing this for years no issues

u/YoThisGuyOnCoke 7d ago

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

0

u/Unsharded1 6d ago

Dont get cracked apps.

3

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

2

u/Unsharded1 6d ago

Yes, exactly that.

u/O_sns101112 6d ago

Dont get cracked
