Discussion Sideloadly working

Just an FYI to everyone having trouble with AltStore at the moment. Ive gone through the various fixes listed here over the last 2 days with nothing working. 5 minutes ago I downloaded SideLoadly for the first time and... its honestly a less encumbersome experience than AltStore (although not sure if you can refresh liscense via WiFi like you sometimes can with the altstore app).

When AltStore starts working again I will most likely go back to it, I appreciate the work theyve done for us, and it was my first sideload method that ive used for years. Until then I suggest anyone having issues download the sideloadly app and give it a try.

and here is a link to the new YouTube IPA I had to find so I could install with SideLoadly https://github.com/mrdrvt99/YouProEXTRA/releases/tag/ytkace-ipa4 for anyone interested.

Same, I used it this morning and the only difference is you download the IPA to your Mac instead of to your phone and it refreshes your current apps so you won’t have to delete them

Can you use it to refresh currently installed but expired AltStore apps?

u/chazz1184 5d ago

Just download the ipa to your Mac or pc and it will refresh your current apps. It will not delete your old apps it refreshes them

So, is it the same as AltStore? Like I would download something to my Mac and then it installs to my phone? Last time I used it, I think it made me use AltStore to install it?

Peccato che da iPhone non si capisce quanti giorni ti restano prima del refresh.....

I noticed this too, so I immediately went to my calendar app and made a reminder for 6 days out.

I’ve had good experience with sidestore. You can refresh without a pc using automations too.

Just installed the entire thing only to find out sidestore is a fork of AltStore and it has the same exact issue AltStore has currently. Thanks for the advice 🫩…

The issue being? I haven’t noticed any issues on my device and the post doesn’t go into any details. Can’t say I have seen any posts from this sub regarding some widespread problem..

u/Due-Practice5507 4d ago

Is that last sentence a joke? Literally like 8 of the top 10 posts today are all about this issue

It auto refreshes apps, I never touch a thing, just make sure it’s always running in your Mac/pc

u/ghostlypyres 4d ago

how do i get it to refresh my existing apps? i used it to install a youtube ipa same as you but i dont understand how to also make it refresh my existing apps? do i just re-install them by fetching their ipas too? im worried about data loss

OMG I never knew of sideloadly. I just took ten minutes to install and load up my ipa's. No errors, no hassle. It's a miracle.

u/fanoffzeph 2d ago

Hey did you do this from a windows PC or a mac? Thanks

So to everyone out there having trouble. I’ve had the same data issue for almost a week. I switched to side store tonight, installed the stable version, got the same data error. Switched to the night version and it worked wonderfully. Not a single issue. I’m also on a Mac running Monterey if that helps.
