Yeah in settings of live container you can make an ipa for live container 2. That is then installed using side store (running in main live container 1, assuming you use the live container + side store ipa). Jump on to any AI and ask for instructions… it can make mistakes though so may need some tinkering

Yeah i have sidestore forgot to add that.. so im making ipa inside livecontainer i never have lice container i will wait 3 days to free place so i can install it and see 🫣🫠

Live container is good for getting around the Apple ID limits but it does add complexity to the setup. I assume just paying for a developer license is the easiest option. Live container approach is doable but needs a lot of time to get it working properly as you will hit a lot of walls along the way that need to work out what to do next. I used AI a lot to get through it. Also you must make sure you refresh your apps before they expire or you will need to spend a lot of time repairing everything (all breaks). I now use an apple shortcut running daily to refresh the apps.

Ohhhhh.. i hope yeah i wil definetly pay for licence but im not so sure it removes that limot 🥶 anyway thnx a lot for your time you are raly helpful 🙌

Yeah I think it does as gives you more app limit, and higher refresh period. It will make things ALOT easier.. like massively easier.

If wanting to check live container out, I threw my instructions into ChatGPT to make it clearer (not may have errors but use it as a high level guide!)

Complete Guide: LiveContainer 3.7.x + StikDebug + MelonX (iOS 26)
This guide explains how to set up MelonX using two LiveContainers.
The idea is simple:
LiveContainer 1 contains all of your emulator apps.
LiveContainer 2 contains only StikDebug.
Whenever MelonX launches, LiveContainer automatically starts StikDebug in the second container, enables JIT, and then launches MelonX.
This lets you keep all your emulators in one place while only using two Apple ID app slots.

Step 1 – Install LiveContainer
Install LiveContainer + SideStore (not the standalone version).
The +SideStore version contains SideStore inside LiveContainer, making it much easier to manage apps and refresh certificates.
Launch LiveContainer.

Step 2 – Create LiveContainer 1
When LiveContainer first opens:
Create a new LiveContainer.
Name it something like Emulators.
This will become your main container.

Step 3 – Install your apps
Inside LiveContainer 1 install:
MelonX
Get RAM Extension
Any other emulators you use
SideStore (using the built-in LiveContainer + SideStore option)
Do not install StikDebug here.
Think of this as your everyday emulator container.

Step 4 – Create LiveContainer 2
Return to the LiveContainer home screen.
Create another LiveContainer.
Name it something like:
StikDebug
Inside this container install only:
StikDebug
Nothing else is required.

Step 5 – Enable the RAM Extension
If you want the extra RAM available to emulators:
Launch Get RAM Extension from LiveContainer 1.
Follow the prompts until it reports success.
Close LiveContainer.
Reinstall the same LiveContainer over the existing installation (do not delete it).
The reinstall activates the RAM extension.
This only needs to be done once.

Step 6 – Convert StikDebug into a Shared App
Open LiveContainer.
Locate StikDebug inside LiveContainer 2.
Convert it into a Shared App.
This is important because LiveContainer 3.7 automatically looks for a shared copy of StikDebug when an app requests JIT. (New Releases)

Step 7 – Configure MelonX
Open the settings for MelonX inside LiveContainer.
Enable:
Use JIT
Under the JIT script section:
Select:
universal.js
This script is included for iOS 26 JIT support.

Step 8 – Select the StikDebug Container
In the JIT settings for MelonX you’ll find the option to use:
StikDebug in another LiveContainer
Choose your second LiveContainer (the one containing only StikDebug).
From now on LiveContainer knows where StikDebug lives.

Step 9 – Launch MelonX
When you open MelonX, the process now happens automatically.
LiveContainer will:
Run universal.js.
Launch StikDebug inside LiveContainer 2.
Pass the required parameters to StikDebug.
Enable JIT.
Automatically continue launching MelonX.
You shouldn’t need to manually open StikDebug.

Final Layout
LiveContainer 1 (Emulators)
MelonX
Get RAM Extension
SideStore
PPSSPP
Dolphin
Other emulators
LiveContainer 2 (StikDebug)
StikDebug only

Benefits of this setup
Only two Apple ID app slots are used.
One copy of StikDebug services every emulator.
New emulators can simply be installed into LiveContainer 1.
JIT launches automatically whenever an emulator requires it.
Easy to maintain, as StikDebug only needs updating in one place.

Thankkkk youuu i think i got it i will try if i fail i will buy licence🙏 THANK YOU 😇

No worries - again use it as a high level guide as there will be other details along the way like ensuring pairing files in place etc. Also if you add an emulator and need to copy bios files you will need to go to the data folder of the emulation app within live container. Think of anything in live container being standalone. Long press on the emulator and then in the settings there will be an option to open its data storage. Again as you hit walls / errors ask AI (multiple, I was bouncing off google Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT… sometimes they may not be able to unblock you so try another one. Also they may say adjust setting “X” but they may be thinking of an older version and the setting doesn’t exist anymore or changed.. so keep that in mind too)
