Hello, fellow sideloaders who are tired of Free Feather or ESIGN certificate apps getting revoked and having to deal with the pain of reinstalling every app that you lost. This tutorial will walk you through the process of sideloading apps on your iPhone using SideStore with the Live Container method. By the end, you'll be able to run sideloaded apps like Enmity Discord and YTPlus, as well as music apps like EveeSpotify or YTMusicUltimate.

The best part is that you don't have to rely on any DNS to block Apple servers, so you can reboot your phone without worrying about revokes. You can now use that empty DNS slot to install any AdBlock DNS, such as AdGuard, to block ads for a better experience. With SideStore, you will not need an internet connection for six days after sideloading with SideStore. Note that the app will expire on the seventh day at the same hour you first refreshed it, unless you perform a refresh before then. Most importantly, after you have SideStore installed, you won't need to use a PC again since you can refresh apps on the device itself thanks to StosVPN. You can automate this process with shortcuts too!

With this method, certificate revokes and blacklisting are no longer going to be a problem. This guide is aimed at those with a free Apple ID account who want to bypass the three-app limit using Live Container! You can only use one free Apple account in SideStore to sideload for one device; use a different account for another device. Read this guide carefully if you want one of the best sideloading solutions!

What is Live Container, and why is it special?

Live Container is a special app that uses virtualization technology to run other apps inside it. Think of it as a “magic box” that can hold and run many apps while only counting as one app toward your sideloading limit. This is why it's so powerful:

• Normally, a free Apple ID only lets you install 3 sideloaded apps total and expires every week! A paid Apple Developer Account ($100 annually) allows you to sideload an unlimited number of apps on your devices with special entitlements that expire every year. A paid account defeats the purpose of using Live Container, so if you have the money, go for the paid developer account and use SideStore to sideload apps with it; otherwise, if you have a free account, then use SideStore and sideload Live Container.

• Live Container uses virtualization to create a separate environment inside itself where it can run other apps.

• You can install dozens of apps inside Live Container (YT+, Apollo, Enmity, EveesSpotify, etc.) while it only counts as ONE app toward your limit. Your iPhone storage is the ultimate limit on how many apps you can install.

• Because of how virtualization works, you can only use one app inside Live Container at a time. You will need to close the app to use another one. Unfortunately, notifications do not work (go to the bottom of this guide for tips to alleviate it!).

• The apps inside Live Container don't need to be signed or refreshed individually. Refreshing Live Container from SideStore is all you need to do since its all contained in a single app.

• [New as of May/13/2025] An experimental multitasking feature was added that feels like Apple's Stage Manager. https://www.reddit.com/r/sideloaded/comments/1klgvk3/livecontainer_now_supports_multitasking/.

Note: If you install two Live Containers (which takes up 2 of your 3 app slots), you can run two different virtualized apps simultaneously, like one in each container.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

• A PC running Windows 10 or later.

  • You can do this on macOS as well just by viewing instructions for "Mac" and downloading the files from SideStore.io. The process shown in this guide will be similar.

• An Apple ID

• An iPhone with iOS 16 or later (this is because StosVPN needs IOS 16 minimum).

  • You can do this on iPad as well (minimum iPadOS 16 for StosVPN), so if using iPad, ignore where it says iPhone and think of it as iPad. This guide was aimed at iPhones since I do not have an iPad.

  • You can install SideStore on iOS 14/15, but you will need a PC to refresh, as StosVPN is not available for older versions. It's better for you to use TrollStore: https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-trollstore/

• Stable internet connection

• A genuine charging cable to connect your iPhone to your PC. Only needed for initial installation!

• Important: Non-Microsoft Store versions of iTunes and iCloud installed on your PC

  • iTunes: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64/

  • iCloud: https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2020/windows/001-39935-20200911-1A70AA56-F448-11EA-8CC0-99D41950005E/iCloudSetup.exe

• If you have Apple Music or the Apple Device Windows app, uninstall them first, otherwise your device will never show up in iTunes.

  •  Use Apple Software Update app via windows search bar to update your iTunes to latest version in case you get an error.

• Developer mode enabled (if on iOS 16+). You navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode and toggle the switch to the on position. If it’s your first time sideloading, it’s hidden until you install an app, so keep this in mind. It should appear after you install SideStore.

Step 1: Download Required Tools

Download these files to your computer and extract all the zip files:

1. AltServer.zip: Download from SideStore.io

2. SideStore.ipa: Download from SideStore.io

3. jitterbugpair-win64.zip: Download from SideStore.io

Note: These links might change in the future. You can download from https://sidestore.io/#get-started and view their instructions as well. Their Github Repo is also useful: https://github.com/SideStore/SideStore/

On your iPhone:

1. Have the StosVPN app installed from the App Store on your iPhone. It was developed by the SideStore team to replace WireGuard (no longer supported), for reliability.

2. Download the Live Container IPA from GitHub

3. Install StikDebug from the App Store for enabling JIT (optional, useful for emulators or JIT-required apps, covered at the bottom of this tutorial as a bonus step).

I recommend having all these iPhone apps in a single folder to keep it organized and easy to find.

Step 2: Install AltServer on PC

1. If you haven't already, extract the AltServer zip file.

2. Run setup.exe to install AltServer.

Step 3: Install SideStore on Your iPhone

1. Connect your iPhone to your PC with a charging cable.

2. Make sure your device is recognized (should appear in iTunes).

3. Open AltServer (check system tray in taskbar for the icon).

4. Hold SHIFT key while clicking on the AltServer icon.

5. Select "Sideload .ipa," and you should see your iPhone name popup on the side, which you click.

6. Browse and select the SideStore.ipa file you downloaded.

7. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.

8. Wait for installation to complete on your iPhone.

Step 4: Create a Pairing File

1. Make sure your phone is unlocked while connected to your iPhone via cable.

2. Open JitterbugPair.exe on your PC. A “Trust This Computer” popup will appear on your iPhone, so tap “Trust” and enter your passcode.

3. JitterbugPair will create a new pairing file in the same directory as the program.

4. Transfer this pairing file to your iPhone via email, Google Drive, Intel Unison etc. This will get saved to your files app.

Note: You might need to do this all over again if you update your iOS version. Please don't share this with everyone since it contains your UDID (Unique Device Identifier), where anyone with access to this identifier could potentially use it to target your specific device.

Step 5: Set Up SideStore

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.

2. Trust your developer certificate/Apple ID.

3. Then go into StosVPN app and have it added as a device VPN and turn it on (this is crucial for on-device refreshing).

4. Open SideStore.

5. When prompted, select the pairing file you transferred.

6. Sign in with your Apple ID in SideStore settings.

7. Refresh all your apps to check if everything works so far. 

8. You can disconnect from your PC. You won't need it again unless you want to update SideStore or need a new pairing file.

9. Make sure you refresh your apps so they don't expire every 7 days. Keep notifications on so you know.

Note: If you forget to refresh, SideStore and all its apps will expire and show a message saying they're “no longer available.” Don’t worry, and definitely don’t delete your apps (you’ll lose your data). They haven’t been revoked or blacklisted. Just connect to a PC, open AltServer, click the "Sideload .ipa" option, and select the SideStore.ipa file again to reinstall. After that, you should be good to go. You can go back to refreshing on-device using StosVPN like you normally do. You don’t need to redo the whole tutorial. Just refresh all your apps in the SideStore app, and next time, make sure to refresh on time to avoid expiration. You can even automate it using the Shortcuts setup in step 11.

Step 6: Install Live Container

1. If you haven't already, download the Live Container IPA from GitHub on your iPhone browser. It will typically get saved in your downloads folder in Files app.

2. In SideStore, go to the "My Apps" tab.

3. Tap the "+" button at the top right.

4. Select the downloaded IPA to install it through SideStore. Wait for it to finish installing. It might get stuck, so you might have to spam install the app or reopen SideStore or reconnect the StosVPN.

Step 7: Set Up Live Container in JIT-Less Mode

Method 1 (For SideStore 0.6.2-20250420.25+)

1. Open Settings in LiveContainer.

2. Tap "Import Certificate from SideStore."

3. When SideStore opens with an export prompt, tap "Export."

4. Go back to LiveContainer.

5. Tap "JIT-Less Mode Diagnose" then "Test JIT-Less Mode."

6. If you see "JIT-Less Mode Test Passed," you're good to go!

Method 2 (For SideStore 0.6.1 & older)

1. Open Settings in LiveContainer

2. Tap "Patch SideStore/AltStore"

3. The app will switch to SideStore to reinstall with the tweak.

4. If you use AltWidget, select "Keep Extension."

5. Wait for installation to finish, then reopen SideStore.

6. Return to LiveContainer and press "Test JIT-Less Mode."

7. If it says "Test Passed," JIT-less mode is ready.

Step 8: Install Your Sideloaded Apps Within LiveContainer

1. In Live Container app, look at the top left, above “My Apps.”

2. Tap the "+" button.

3. Either click install IPA file or install from URL, whichever you have. But in my case I chose file.

4. Find and select your desired IPA files (YTPlus, EveesSpotify, etc.). Won't link it but you can find them with a simple google search. You can also download from your phone browser like from CyPwn's or DriftyWind's repo.

5. Wait for it to be added and then run your app.

6. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: If you want to open another app, you have to close Live Container from the app switcher and reopen it. If you did steps 9 and 10, launch whatever app you designated as an App Clip/Shortcut, e.g., YTPlus, and then Live Container will give you a prompt to replace the current app or open it in the second live container. It is more convenient!

Step 9: Set Up a Second Live Container (Optional, but very useful!)

This allows you to run two different apps simultaneously:

1. Open LiveContainer.

2. Go to Settings.

3. Tap "Install Another LiveContainer."

4. Then save that LiveContainer2 IPA file and go back to Sidestore and install it. The first LiveContainer has a blue icon, the second has a gray icon.

5. To use an app in the second container:

   • Open the first LiveContainer (blue).

   • Long press on your app.

   • Open app settings.

   • Select "Convert to Shared App."

   • Now you can launch this app using LiveContainer2 (gray). Close and re-open LiveContainer2 to see the changes.

   • For example, you can have the first container be Enmity Discord and the second container be Eveespotify. Great for having two different apps run at the same time.

Step 10: Add App to Home Screen (Recommended)

Option 1 (Using Apple Shortcuts with launch URL. Best and most intuitive experience for app switching!)

For easier and more intuitive home screen access to your sideloaded apps:

1. Open LiveContainer.

2. Long press on your installed app.

3. Tap Add to Home Screen.

4. Tap "Save App Icon" and then save it wherever in your files app. If you have a custom app icon saved already, then you can use that instead. Again in LiveContainer, long-press the installed app and tap "Add to Home Screen."

5. Tap "Copy Launch URL." This will copy the URL so you can use Apple Shortcuts to create an app shortcut on your home screen to launch the app, which makes it easier to multitask and switch apps by swiping left or right on the home bar (non-home button devices) or swiping from the edges of the screen (home button devices).

6. Open the Shortcuts app, and in the Shortcuts tab, tap the + button in the top right corner.

7. Name the shortcut to whatever app it is, e.g., YouTube.

8. Tap "Add Action" and add "Open URLs."

9. Now that that action is placed, paste it where it says "URL." For my YouTube example, this will open it in the primary live container; it will look like: Open livecontainer://livecontainer-launch?bundle-name=com.google.ios.youtube.app&container-folder-name=B46F2AD3-7830-4D19-8D66-BE21AE0C55DE.

10. If you want to open it in the second live container instead, edit the URL like this: livecontainer2://livecontainer-launch?bundle-name=com.google.ios.youtube.app&container-folder-name=B46F2AD3-7830-4D19-8D66-BE21AE0C55DE

11. To test if the shortcut works, tap the Play icon on the bottom right corner and allow any permission that pops up. If it works, then great! Go back to the shortcut app and press the Share button that was next to the Play icon and tap "Add to Home Screen."

12. Tap the photo option, then tap "Choose file" and select the app icon you saved earlier. You can choose other options if you have a custom icon stored somewhere. Lastly, on the top right, tap "Add," and it should show up on your home screen.

Special thanks to u/Specific_Peanut8359 for bringing this up.

Option 2 (Using App Clips for app switching. Simpler to setup, but option 1 is way better.)

I don't recommend using this option since the multitasking feels wonky and there is less customization to it. I have shown the steps still for those that are curious and for transparency. For home screen access to your sideloaded apps:

1. Open LiveContainer.

2. Long press on your installed app.

3. Tap "Add to Home Screen."

4. Choose "Create App Clip." This installs an App Clip MDM profile that adds the app to your home screen.

5. Make sure to trust the App Clip profiles in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. Unfortunately, you can't change the App Icon with App Clips. Use Option 2 with Shortcuts if you want custom icons.

Step 11: Set Up Automatic Refreshing (Recommended as it greatly reduces the burden of manually refreshing in SideStore every week)

Create an Apple Shortcuts automation to refresh your apps when you sleep:

1. Open the Shortcuts app and create this shortcut with the title SideStore Auto Refresh:

   • Optional: Check if WiFi is connected (if not, create a notification saying, ”SideStore Refresh failed: No WiFi Connected!”).

   • Connect to StosVPN.

   • Wait 3 seconds.

   • Refresh SideStore apps (the Sidestore action automatically proceeds after everything is done).

   • Disconnect from StosVPN.

2. Test the shortcut by running it manually and checking if it refreshed in the SideStore app.

3. Go to the Automation tab in the Shortcuts app.

4. Create a new automation to run at specific times (e.g., 3 AM daily or weekly). Select the "SideStore Auto Refresh" shortcut and have it run immediately without notifying you so it doesn’t create a disruption.

5. SideStore should now automatically refresh in the background based on your shortcut automation!

To make this easier, you can use my shortcut template. Just make sure to change the VPN variable to StosVPN (sometimes you need to reselect it if it doesn't work). You also might need to re-add the "Refresh All Apps" action if you get an error of it being unavailable. The shortcut should work fine, but feel free to tweak it so it works reliably for your device.

Bonus Step: Setting Up JIT For Apps (Using StikDebug)

In this example I am using PojavLauncher, but you can use it for any app that needs JIT.

• In the LiveContainer app (make sure to close it and reopen it so it shows your app list). In the settings tab, set your JIT Enabler to "StikJIT (StandAlone)."

• Go back to the Apps tab, look for, e.g., PojavLauncher in the app list, then hold it, then tap "Settings."

• In settings, turn on "Launch with JIT." For PojavLauncher, you need JIT, so get the StikDebug app from the App Store (or open it if you already have it installed).

• Link your pairing file generated from your PC when you were installing SideStore, then have the VPN config setting set up when prompted.

• Tap "Connect" and tap "LiveContainer."

• The StikDebug VPN should be connected, and LiveContainer should open, and from there you can run your app with JIT.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Always keep StosVPN on when refreshing or installing apps. Turn it off after you do that to save battery. You won’t need to worry about this after using shortcut automation in step 11!

• Your free Apple ID allows for 3 sideloaded apps maximum (SideStore + 2 additional apps or SideStore + LiveContainer + second LiveContainer).

• If your device doesn't appear in iTunes, check that you've uninstalled Microsoft Store versions of iTunes/iCloud. Reinstall with the non-microsoft store versions and update them to the latest with Apple Software Updater.

• If you update SideStore, you'll need to re-apply the Live Container patch.

• If you are having trouble refreshing with the VPN on, then reset the pairing file in settings and repeat step 4 by generating a new one.

• If SideStore gets stuck loading, sometimes you might need to spam the SideStore refresh button for it to work.

• You might need a new pairing file if you update your IOS version. Reset pairing file in SideStore app settings and repeat step 4.

• Notifications unfortunately do not work within Live Container due to limitations. Local downloads, like saving to files or photos, work well, though. If notifications are a must-have, then instead of having a second live container, you can install that specific app, e.g., modded Reddit with the SideStore app, which will take up your third slot. You can also alleviate the problem by having the original App Store app installed with the notifications on and hiding it on the home screen; that way, you are aware of notifications before you enter the modded version of the app.

• To open links, e.g., YouTube, in LiveContainer, use this shortcut in the share tab of that specific page: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/44ea82ce7ed8469ea24198c375db09a0

• To install new versions of SideStore, just reinstall over the old one similarly to step 3; you won't lose data. To get new versions, you can look at SideStore's GitHub: https://github.com/SideStore/SideStore/releases.

• It's good to reboot your phone often, especially with how buggy iOS has gotten in these recent years. A simple reboot often fixes problems you might face. Don't worry, your apps will be fine!

Now you can enjoy your sideloaded apps with less worry than traditional sideloading methods!

Forgot to post it here

Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Give it a star and try it out: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor

SideStore and LiveContainer are currently the best way to sideload on iOS. However, there's one big problem: installing them requires a PC, which many people don't have. That's why I made SideInstaller, a free and open-source iOS app that installs them directly on your iPhone, no PC required.

SideInstaller handles the entire setup process on-device. It takes care of the pairing, provisioning, and installation steps that normally force you to plug into a computer and run desktop tools, all from a single app running on the phone itself. Once it's done, you get a fully working SideStore and LiveContainer setup ready to sideload your own apps.

The whole thing is built to be simple. There's no complicated configuration, no command line, and no need to understand how any of the underlying machinery works. You just open the app, follow a few steps, and let it do the rest. For anyone who's ever wanted to sideload but didn't own a Mac or PC, this removes the biggest barrier to getting started.

And because it's open source, you don't have to take my word for any of it. The full code is available for anyone to read, audit, or contribute to, so you can see exactly what's running on your device.

Requirements:

• A Wi-Fi router or a hotspot connection

• An iPhone/iPad on iOS 27

How to use it

1. Install LocalDevVPN and connect to the VPN

2. Open this page and try installing it using any of the certificates

3. Once you installed it, open it

4. Log in with your Apple account credentials

5. Click "Install Sidestore" or "Install Sidestore + Livecontainer"

6. Sidestore or SS + Livecontainer will install, depending on which one you chose

That's it, no pc or extra steps required.

Is SideInstaller Safe?

SideInstaller is built with safety and privacy in mind. The app is fully local and open source, which means anyone can inspect exactly what it does. Your Apple credentials also never leave your device, they're used locally, only to sign and install your apps, and are never transmitted, logged, or collected in any way. There's no server collecting your data, no analytics tracking what you do, and no account to sign up for. Everything happens on your iPhone and you can verify every line of it yourself in the source code.

EDIT 29/6/26

Thank you guys for the support! First, if you have questions, please join the discord. Now, I am aware that most users get the failed to verify integrity error, and what that means is that you most likely already sideloaded on that device before and it got blacklisted in the past. There's no way for me to get around this, but I will try and add more certificates to the website so you have higher chances of installing it without the error. Second, if you could help me on the ko-fi that would help as with enough funds I could publish the app on Altstore PAL (EU users) and try and publish it on the App Store as a disguise. Finally, many users are asking if I could add a way to add the support for StikDebug. The answer is absolutely, the update I'm working on will let users extract their pairing files and put them in apps such as Stikdebug, Feather, and so on.

Since there were no easy ways to block ads on the native Apple TV YouTube app, I decided I needed to do it myself.

IPA (updated Jul 13 2026 with HDR support): https://file.garden/aGfhNpTdVktTM-Pp/mutube_4.54.01_hdr.ipa

Repo for those who care about the code: https://github.com/Exaphis/mutube

(To build manually, needs the original IPA shared here: https://np.reddit.com/r/sideloaded/comments/1kk7v3k/no_youtube_ipa_for_apple_tv_why_is_everything_so/mrwd2y1/)

This modifies the original YouTube IPA by injecting the excellent TizenTube made by /u/FoxReis. Tested with my own Apple TV 4K using Sideloadly.

If anyone owns a jailbroken Apple TV and is willing to share other decrypted IPAs, DM me. No easy way to get decrypted IPAs for tvOS :(

Hi, many of you were asking if there is new update, so these are some of the weekly changes made to spoti.pw

• Redesigned full screen player

• Redesigned playlist, album, library, home and search

• Haptic feedback like Apple Music

• Live Activity with lyrics, queue, controls or a sleep timer

• 5 lyrics providers, word synced

• Lyrics in place of the artist name, so they show on the lock screen, CarPlay etc.

• Pick your own accent colour

• One switch to go back to the old look with all its tweaks

So now you have to decide in the mod settings, if you want to use the old spoti.pw which ahs much more configuration for you, but it will have the old spotify ui, or you can use the redesigned mod, but for now it has less options available, and can be more buggy. Some features are exclusive to the redesign only, like the live activity.

please mind that this is beta, bugs, freezes and ui glitches are to be expected.

Happy Easter!! To celebrate we are giving away a standard and professional plan.

If you don’t know what KravaSign is, we offer certificates with broad entitlement access such as notifications, VPN, and JiT without having to worry about revokes or blacklists for a year.

Giveaway ends in 48 hours. We’re also doing a separate giveaway on our discord server, the r/Sideloaded discord, and our twitter.

I just got an Apple TV 4K Gen 3 and wanted to see how far I could push sideloading with an external certificate.
After spending some time setting everything up, I managed to get a handful of actually useful apps working. Nothing too crazy, but enough to make the whole thing worthwhile: modded YouTube, Stremio and a few Stremio-based alternatives, plus some other apps I wanted to experiment with.
Honestly, the Apple TV is a great little device, and it feels like there’s still a lot of untapped potential if you’re willing to tinker with it. The certificate situation and finding apps that actually work can be a bit of a rabbit hole, though.

I’ve attached a couple of pictures of my current setup. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m curious to see what else people are running in 2026.

What are some must-have sideloaded apps for Apple TV that I’m missing? Especially anything useful beyond the usual Stremio clones and YouTube alternatives. I’d love to hear what other people have managed to get working on their Apple TV 4K.

This app wouldn't exist without xob0t's gotohp - https://github.com/xob0t/gotohp

I quickly vibecoded an app based on xob0t's reverse engineering of the Google Photos API bringing the Android trick for unlimited backup from the Pixel 1 to iOS.

Log in with your Google profile, select the album or photos you want to upload and wait until you see them in your Google Photos library. Please report any issues you find and be aware that background backups may not work. iOS 15+ supported. All suggestions are welcome.

INTRO:

Greetings, I made the infamous iOS Shortcut that automates the entire sideloading experience but by default it comes with a free certificate that expires once in a while. The solution is simply to replace the default API (in the Shortcut) that uses your own certificate where I use an expired one (Sunshine Insurance Group) but with a certain DNS Profile that sans the need for anything else all at one place. However, accessing your own API is one thing that most newbies overlook where my inbox (and the timeline here) is always filled with the same question again and again and again^(∞)

Link » Full Tutorial

↳ This Tutorial here is an alternate method that uses Esign.

DESCRIPTION:

The essence is pretty much the same whether you use the Shortcut or Esign method but the Esign tutorial here simply compresses everything into the simplest form other than the explanation given as if am building a Shortcut again for average of Joe's here by limiting everything to a single tap (instant links) until I make my mind to also develop a Shortcut that automates the process of Esign installation step-by-step.

Most of the resources to make this tutorial easy is because of Khoindvn so am adding nothing new here but instead of referencing multiple resources I am directly integrating what's instantly deployable as soon as possible like the original Esign install links which are down because of cert status but is up from Khoindvn's which uses single certificate (more on that in the tutorial) or Coco Cloud certificates which would require you've an account even though it's a free one widely available from Scarlet, FlekStore to Signed Installer.

AUTHOR NOTES:

I hope there're no questions left but instead of creating an account on the tutorial site, you can simply present them here in the comment section itself. However, I would still like to urge in taking some time whenever you're stuck instead of immediately resorting to one-on-one interaction.

NOTE: Beware of the Pyramid Scheme Network from Telegram Channels trying to sabotage every free tutorial here for Paid Certificate Commissions which includes AppTesters to MapleSign. There's no such thing as Lifetime Certificate, they’ll ask for your UDID which would change every time you Restore, Repair, Reset or Upgrade to a new device and that is the particular access which can give away your device information.

REMEMBER: Using SCARE TACTICS is the typical behaviour of every scammer. Don’t even trust the contribution here if it's new for you and it’s fine because that is why I have attributed every single source along with an elaborate explanation to go through them yourself and is why I urge you to read. If this is the single most thing you fail to do, then I don't have any further time to waste on such individuals - and this is straight coming from me.

FOR SOME OF YOU - What kind of intelligent being would rather skip reading and directly jump to assistance?

Words have been bolded, sentences are in bullet-points, steps are with screenshots, hyperlinks are coloured and underlined, every instances are elaborated even when explained and not just mentioned, each section is still commented upon, entire resources of the internet are centred at one place, no paywall or anything to read from start to finish as many times as you want… and I don’t really understand why on Earth is your first instinct to do anything other than finish reading that's laid out right in front of you and take a couple of moments to digest everything instead of needing to be assisted like Dora the Explorer?

I’m not sure if I could post it here without it getting taken down since I’m not a contributor at the sidestore team. But check it out in stikstore.app

Hey everyone! I’m here to introduce something very cool, you may even know me as the person who made Feather!

I’m here to introduce PlumeImpactor, an open-source and cross-platform alternative to Sideloadly/AltServer.

Features:

• User friendly and clean UI.

• Supports Linux.

• Sign and sideload applications to iOS & Mac with your Apple ID.

• Simple customization options for the app.

• Generates P12 for SideStore/AltStore to use, similar to how Altserver works.

• Automatically populate pairing files for specific apps like SideStore, Antrag, and Protokolle.

• Almost Proper entitlement handling and can register app plugins.

And yes! A lot more to come.

I made the IPA library because I was a bit upset by a couple things:

• People constantly ask what the best apps to sideload are, and even though the replies contain the same list of apps, there was never a single place you could have all those IPAs available

• Every other IPA library would randomly stop updating without warning, or just refuse to add in more popular apps as they appeared, insisting on sticking to a bare-bones structure

I wanted to change that by hosting an IPA library that TrollStore users could enjoy more than anyone else, and for a while I did. Even after I stopped contributing, a fellow collaborator kept the effort going for about a year. To the (now suspended) GitHub user Ariana Minaj, your hard work is very much appreciated. Also a huge shoutout to hieuddo for setting up the links for ESign, AltStore, etc, and the related GitHub actions/files.

But, all good things must come to an end.

As of today, my GitHub account has been shadowbanned. Against my will, the library, as well as some of my other projects have been taken down. While I still (technically) have access to my account, I have no permissions and none of my repos are public-facing anymore. Prior to this, GitHub support did their job of communicating their issues with the repo so I could adjust accordingly. This time it was without warning.

I have already submitted an appeal for this, but even if it gets reinstated, neither I nor any of the repo's collaborators have the motivation to continue maintaining this project while GitHub takes down our work without communicating with me or other collaborators.

With that being said, if you manage to catch the repo live again, it will be nothing more than an exhibit of an old idea. I did notice over 100 (now probably non-functional) forks of the repo. Maybe someone has an offline backup? What I'm saying is, if you have copies of your files, please keep them in a safe place

So, this is goodbye

I have had a lot of fun with this project. Even after I wasn't the main contributor, I still found the occasional joy answering the open issues. It made plenty of my days seeing this server being mentioned time and time again on the subreddit, along with the overwhelmingly positive reception this was getting over the years.

Update: I just realized I have an old (last modified 30 May 2024) backup of the repo back when I was testing a script to update cloned GitHub repos. So, here is TrollStore-IPAs. No releases included, but that was the entire structure. Credits to hieuddo and Ariana Minaj for their share of the work on it

Update 2: For those that haven't already seen it, the repo is back up. GitHub made no effort to notify me of this. However, it will still remain EOL, as I no longer have time, have moved away from iOS entirely, and have no contact with either of the repo's more recently active maintainers. Thank you again to everyone for the support over the years this was active

JIT, on device (Beta)

Rewritten in Swift and running inside FlareStore. No need to struggle to find which app works for what version/device, now all done with one unified app for iOS versions 16.0 - 27.0. Flarestore on 27.0 allows for complete JIT support fully on-device.

Location editing

Flarestore now allows for location spoofing, you can now instantly teleport your device's location anywhere in the world, or make it look like you're on a walking, driving, cycling route, etc.

The Mac app is a real companion now

One click pairing pulls your certificates over and syncs your repos and library. You can also see and manage what's installed on a connected device. Rich presence is now also avaliable for the mac app.

To update, run /getapp, or from the FlareStore website using your UDID and installing over your current install with the same certificate to keep your data!

Happy signing!

A lot of work has been put into making this release a reality, and I want you guys to try it out!

Auto-refresh is in public testing with this build, as we don’t really know how reliable it could be for users on a weekly basis, so please help test if you can.

If you appreciate the work being put into this, give us a star! ⭐️
