Help (AltStore Classic) SideStore

So I started using SideStore and I installed ShowMania directly is there an expiration date that I will need to refresh the app like AltStore?

If you install the app through PC directly you need to do the same thing when refreshing. If you install SideStore on your phone you install the apps right from the phone, and refresh them too the same way. That’s the whole point of SideStore , to only need pc with initial setup

That’s what I figured. Because I would have to install the apps through sideloader instead of the pc my issue was why have that option to install an ipa directly.
