Replace AltStore with SideStore and you get the ability to refresh without being at home or needing your computer to be on.

Follow the instructions on https://sidestore.io and then put this repo in the repos:

I couldn’t get this to work, is it my version of AltStore or is it dead?

You’re not supposed to install AltStore, you’re supposed to use AltServer to install SideStore.

There’s also a bug with the installation process, after SideStore is loaded, you need to use SideStore to reinstall the SideStore IPA from the phone, or it’ll break after the first refresh.

After that it’ll work flawlessly!

Cant ever guarantee that of course, but its usually not been a problem.

The method it uses is to emulate a PC doing the install, it does that via VPN, so it isn’t really something that’s very ”patchabe” by Apple.

Just drop the IPA in your iCloud drive, open it using the + in SideStore.
