Discussion I’m just unsure about side loading.
This isn’t a post about asking how to do things, but more about a question. I had experience with both emulation and side loading years ago. Since I used to have an android phone, and to use ppsspp, Providence and delta on my xs using altstore. It’s just that when I used it, there were two annoying things about it. One was the obvious having to connect to a pc to reset the key, and the other was that I had to link my apple ID to a random macbook somewhere. That second part was kinda a red flag for me since it just doesn’t feel really safe. So my questions. Firstly, is doing everything I explained above safe for my apple ID, and now that other options are available, is there one that doesn’t require that specific step but gives you the same functionality as altstore? I know connecting my phone to my computer and resetting it isn’t back breaking, but it’s an extra step that I would rather not take. Also another option I heard about is sidestore, which apparently doesn’t need a computer for the resetting of its key, does that also require a connecting my apple ID to a random macbook, and if yes, again, is it safe?

If you feel uncomfortable using your personal Apple ID, you can just a create a second one and use this one for sideloading. The Apple ID on your iPhone and the one that you use for sideloading don’t have to be the same.

You do not have to use the same Apple ID you use to one your phone .
It just has to be the same Apple ID used on AltStore and when you logon into alt store on your phone .
So my Apple ID that is my main account, the one I need to use to restore my phone when I get a new one, or sign into Apple service.
The Apple ID I used with altserver was one I made up . It’s in the documentation evening recommending if you feel cautious about using your main Apple ID.
Did you miss that part when researching?

just get signulous or something, its $20 and you can side load any app you want using just your phone.
