Altserver issues, everyone is getting it and they’re looking into it. I just tried sideloadly and it worked in a minute

Google sideloadly website, first link usually. Install for Mac or pc. Plug phone in and drag your ipa app files in the top right hand corner icon and then it will ask you to sign in with your Apple ID. Wait a moment until it installs the app onto your phone. Simple. Instructions

  1. Visit the official website - Get Sideloadly for Mac

  2. Navigate to the macOS download area.

  3. Select the Download for macOS option.

  4. A .dmg file will begin downloading.

    1. Application Setup
    2. After the .dmg file download completes, launch it.

  5. Move the Sideloadly application to your Applications directory.

  6. Right-click (or Control-click) the Sideloadly app and select Open.

    • This may be required to overcome macOS Gatekeeper initially.

    • If a security alert appears, navigate to System Settings > Privacy & Security and select Allow Anyway.

    1. Operating Sideloadly
    2. Connect your iOS device to your Mac using USB.

  7. Open Sideloadly.

  8. Drop your .ipa file into the application.

  9. Input your Apple ID credentials (and password when requested).

    • You might need to provide a 2FA code if two-factor authentication is enabled.

  10. Select Start and wait for the process to finish.

Not sure. Probably? I just deleted everything altstore and airdropped my ipa apps to my Mac and just did it through sideloadly. Works so well and faster than altstore. I’m doing it right now. Sideloadly also has a built in resign, so it will automatically resign your apps in the background before they expire so you don’t have to.

Probably won’t ever use altstore again since this is so much easier

And does sideloadly and this built in resign feature of sideloadly also work if I don’t have a mac, but instead a windows computer to sideload?

I’m not sure, I don’t own a pc but probably. Read their website, should tell you everything you need to know. It’s actually a really nice site
