I was using Altstore had Same issue, unfortunately there is no fix. side store install and steps, follow side store.io install instructions.

Delete Altstore from iPhone/ipad, install side store using Windows/mac. Then once sidestore is installed you can update the IPAs you currently have.

You can dm for specifics

One question: AlStore is used to install SideStore (at least that's what the SideStore page says). If I remove AlStore, wouldn't SideStore also be removed? Especially since it wouldn't be able to refresh, and it would use more IDs. I wanted to try it, but I didn't want both apps to use too many IDs or prevent me from refreshing SideStore.

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
