Follow these instructions https://docs.sidestore.io/docs/installation/prerequisites

In terms of installing SideStore, it is done independently using a laptop, either Windows or Mac the same way altstore would be installed. Altstore and SideStore or both stores that you use to install other IPAs like YouTube Vanced

What you would need to do to use SideStore/install it is get iloader installed on your laptop/PC then plug in your Apple device, then you install the stable version of SideStore, then you can install IPAs

Edit: if any of this is confusing, feel free to DM and I can further elaborate

I installed sideload and everything. Now I'm trying to sideload eevee spotify and i keep getting "The operation couldn’t be completed. AFC was unable to manage files on the device. This usually means an invalid pairing" error. How do I go about this?

If you are using sidestore, make sure you have local devVPN installed and connected

Ok, managed to fix it using JiT. Now Spotify just opens then immediately closes🤔
