    Resigning

    Resigning

    You can define resigning an app package in order to install it on your physical device. This is usually for testing purposes when you don't have developer profiles setup on newer devices or newer macs. Maybe you're testing a CI/CD server where your physical iOS, iPadOS devices are connected and you want to quickly deploy a dirty build for testing purposes without the hassle of setting up provisioning and other certificate - private public key pair authentication and integrity checks done by apple for not running un-signed code / packages / applications on device.

    Mind Map

    Jailbreak Tools

    Side Loading

    First register the provisioning profile of the device you want to install the app on.
    After that create a dummy xcode project and register the app identifier in order to make it easier to install the app for 365 days via enterprise route.
    After that its easy peasy to just rename the ipa file with appropriate app identifier and install the app that way.
    You have modded youtube, infuse and many more on your iOS device without the hassle of installing other tools to refresh every 7 days.

    Also make sure you add your team ID to your default apps to override a unique string value for your bundle App ID.

    Do stuff on tvOS

    Pairing with tvOS

    Step 1. First things first, download the latest version of Xcode from Mac App Store and then install it on your Mac.

Step 2. On Apple TV, navigate to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Remote App and Devices and keep your Apple TV on this screen.

Step 3. On Mac, launch Xcode and then navigate to Window > Devices and Simulators from the menu bar on top.

Step 4. Now if both your Mac and Apple TV are nearby, the following message should show up on Xcode’s Devices and Simulators window.

Step 5. Click on “Pair with [Your Apple TV]” button.

Step 6. A verification code will pop up on Apple TV display, type it in Xcode to complete the pairing process between your Mac and Apple TV.

You should now have your Mac showing up on Apple TV’s Remote App and Devices screen. You should also have your Apple TV now showing up on Xcode’s Devices and Simulators window.

And that’s about it.

Your Apple TV should show up on the list of devices on Sideloadly :)

I think we should just retry!

    If you're trying to install similar app with bundle identifier it would fail

    Jailbreak or Tampering detection

    If the app you want to sideload is trying to check if the phone has been jailbroken or has different signature or different bundle identifier, just enable injection tweaks on sideloadly

    Open: sideloadly_sideload_spoofer.png

    Some apps like infuse won't work and show blank screens when you enable tweak injection to bypass detecting jailbreak.
    Don't know what's wrong with it.

    MacOS

    Solved! for someone coming to this thread even at the start of 2024.

[u/ssj4gogeta2003](https://www.reddit.com/user/ssj4gogeta2003/) You saved my days! I was annoyed when I switched my Mac to MacBook Pro 2019 with the latest MacOS 14.2.1 and iOS 17.2.1. I was facing the error for 2FA because Sideloadly was not popping up and asking for a 2FA code on its latest version v0.50.1. Then I followed these steps and it worked successfully!

1. Open the Music app on your Mac.
    
2. Go to Accounts => Authorisations => click Authorise this computer...
    
3. Next Log into your Apple ID (if not logged in previously), follow the steps one by one by entering your Apple ID email, password, and 2FA code sent to your phone number.
    
4. Open again Sideloadly app (keeping Music app open) and you will no longer face the issue. Enjoy!!!
    

If it still does not work, try a few other things which I did but not sure if they are necessary for the flow.

- Open Mail app on Mac, Sign in if not already and keep Mail app open.
    
- Reinstall Sideloadly app.

    // Start
    PC Installation Instructions:
    STEP 1: If necessary, uninstall the app if you have it installed on your iDevice. Some hacked IPAs will install as a duplicate app. Make sure to back it up so you don't lose your progress.
    STEP 2: Download the pre-hacked .IPA file from the link above to your computer. To download from the iOSGods App, see this tutorial topic.
    STEP 3: Download Sideloadly and install it on your PC.
    STEP 4: Open/Run Sideloadly on your computer, connect your iOS Device, and wait until your device name shows up.
    STEP 5: Once your iDevice appears, drag the modded .IPA file you downloaded and drop it inside the Sideloadly application.
    STEP 6: You will now have to enter your iTunes/Apple ID email login, press "Start" & then you will be asked to enter your password. Go ahead and enter the required information.
    STEP 7: Wait for Sideloadly to finish sideloading/installing the hacked IPA. If there are issues during installation, please read the note below.
    STEP 8: Once the installation is complete and you see the app on your Home Screen, you will need to go to Settings -> General -> Profiles/VPN & Device Management. Once there, tap on the email you entered from step 6, and then tap on 'Trust email@iosgods.com'.
    STEP 9: Now go to your Home Screen and open the newly installed app and everything should work fine. You may need to follow further per app instructions inside the hack's popup in-game.

    NOTE: iOS/iPadOS 16 and later, you must enable Developer Mode. For free Apple Developer accounts, you will need to repeat this process every 7 days. Jailbroken iDevices can also use Sideloadly/Filza/IPA Installer to normally install the IPA with AppSync. If you have any questions or problems, read our Sideloadly FAQ section of the topic and if you don't find a solution, please post your issue down below and we'll do our best to help! If the hack does work for you, post your feedback below and help out other fellow members that are encountering issues.

    Developer Mode

    1. Setup developer mode and connect the AVP to Xcode over Wi-Fi. Instructions for this are on the Apple developer website
    2. Create a shell project in Xcode and build the app for your AVP. Ensure that it runs properly
    3. Download IOS App Signer 2 and the .ipa file of the app you want to sideload. CustomApp can be downloaded from its Github. Using your developer team and the bundle identifier that was created from the shell project, build a signed ipa file.
    4. On the devices and simulators page in Xcode, select your AVP and drag the outputted ipa file to the installed app list
    5. Trust the profile in device management settings on the AVP
    6. Done!

    ✴️ How to sideload with SideStore and LiveContainer

    Last Edited: Dec 21, 2025 @ 6:34PM PST · Supports iOS versions 15.0 - 26.3 Beta

    Make sure you are always using up-to-date guides to ensure full compatibility. The official SideStore documentation can be found here in case anything changes. For additional information and credits, scroll to the bottom of this page.

    đź‘‹ Hello again, r/sideloaded!

    This is version 2.0 of my iOS sideloading guide. By the end of this guide, you will be able to:

    • Sideload apps using SideStore
    • Use LiveContainer to workaround the 3-app-limit

    This method uses community-made tools and Apple-approved sideloading methods, and only requires a computer for initial setup.

    What are SideStore and LiveContainer?
    SideStore is an app that allows you to install .ipa files (iOS Applications) to your iDevice. LiveContainer is an app that allows you to run iOS applications without installing them. Since iOS has a limit of 3 installed apps when sideloading using a free developer account, a special version of LiveContainer that integrates the SideStore app is available.

    Here is what we will go over in this guide:

    1. Preparation
    2. Using iloader to install SideStore
    3. Setting up SideStore
    4. Switching to SideStore + LiveContainer

    This guide assumes you don't already have SideStore or LiveContainer installed. If you do, you may encounter issues. If you want to follow this guide, uninstall your current SideStore and/or LiveContainer apps.

    1. Preparation

    Before sideloading, we need to prepare your device and install the required software.

    đź’» On Your PC/Mac

    📱 On Your iPhone / iPad

    2. Using iloader to install SideStore

    We will now install SideStore, this app allows you to sideload .ipa files to your iDevice. Start by launching iloader.

    Step 1: Select Add Account + and sign into your Apple Account.

    Step 2: Plug your iPhone / iPad into your computer. (You may need to press Refresh Devices).

    Step 3: Under the Devices section, select the device you want to install SideStore to.

    Step 4: Under the Installers section, select SideStore (Stable).

    Now, just wait patiently. SideStore will be installed shortly. :)

    3. Setting up SideStore

    Before you can use SideStore to install apps, you have to enable Developer Mode, allow apps from your Apple Account, and refresh SideStore.

    Step 1: Open Settings, then go to General > VPN & Device Management.

    Step 2: You should see the email of the Apple Account you used in iloader, tap on it, then trust the developer.

    Step 3: Back out to the main Settings menu, then scroll to Privacy and Security.

    Step 4: Scroll to Security, tap Developer Mode, then toggle it on. Follow the given directions. (Only for iOS 16.0+)

    Step 5: Once your device restarts, open LocalDevVPN. Tap Connect.

    ℹ️ LocalDevVPN is required for SideStore to install and refresh sideloaded apps. Make sure you're connected before trying to use SideStore!

    Step 6: Tap Allow, then enter your passcode.

    Step 7: Open SideStore, navigate to My Apps, then tap 7 DAYS next to SideStore.

    Step 8: Login to the same Apple Account you used in iloader.

    Once SideStore refreshes, you are free to sideload any .ipa file you want! SideStore has support for AltStore sources meaning you can add sources and use SideStore as a third party app store as well. You will need to enable LocalDevVPN before installing apps. You can stop here if you only want SideStore but you will only be able to install 2 additional apps, if you want to install LiveContainer + SideStore, continue to the next section.

    4. Switching to LiveContainer + SideStore

    Switching to SideStore + LiveContainer allows you to install .ipa files and run applications directly in the LiveContainer app while keeping SideStore functionality and two free app slots. We'll install the LiveContainer .ipa then inject our pairing file again with iloader.

    Step 1: Download the latest LiveContainer + SideStore .ipa on your iDevice — Stable / Nightly

    Stable is the latest recommended release. Nightly has cutting-edge features but may be more buggy. Nightly builds are not recommended for average users.

    Step 2: Open SideStore, then go to My Apps. Tap the + in the top-left corner and select the downloaded LiveContainer+SideStore.ipa.

    Step 3: When you see a prompt, tap Keep App Extensions (Use Main Profile). Wait for installation to finish, then open LiveContainer.

    Step 4: Tap the SideStore icon in the top-left corner. When you're asked to select your pairing file, navigate to On My iPhone / iPad > SideStore and select ALTPairingFile.mobiledevicepairing.

    Step 5: Navigate to My Apps, then tap 7 DAYS next to LiveContainer.

    Step 6: Login to the same Apple Account you used in iloader. Wait for the app to refresh.

    Step 7: Delete the standalone SideStore app.

    Step 8: Close LiveContainer then open it again. Go to Settings, then tap Import Certificate From SideStore, and OK.

    Step 9: Tap JIT-Less Mode Diagnose, then Test JIT-Less Mode. The test should pass.

    You can now install as many apps as you want within LiveContainer. LiveContainer (Nightly) also has support for AltSources within the LiveContainer app itself!

    Disclaimer:

    LiveContainer + SideStore is bundled with an outdated nightly version of SideStore; this means you will encounter issues specific to LiveContainer + SideStore. For support, either open an issue on the LiveContainer GitHub repository or in the #support-forum channel on the SideStore Discord server. Please do not ask for support in the regular SideStore support channels.

    ❇️ You did it!

    Setup is complete and you can now install as many apps as you want using LiveContainer! For clarification, apps installed in LiveContainer will not contribute to the 3-app-limit, while installing apps with SideStore (even from LiveContainer) will count towards your 3-app-limit.

    Keep in mind that sideloaded apps must be refreshed every 7 days or they will expire and you will need to follow this guide again. This process can be fully automated using the Shortcuts app and automations (I'll write a separate guide for this later on).

    If you want a unique source of apps and games to try out, consider adding my source to SideStore or LiveContainer! You can find it at the link below:
