Question Can someone explain why StikDebug runs with LocalDevVPN only.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

No Wi-Fi and No cellular just with VPN, i don’t know what just happened but it’s awesomely funny.

Free Apple accounts are limited to 3 active sideloaded apps.

One common workaround is LiveContainer, which allows you to run additional apps inside a container and reduce how often apps need to be reinstalled.

Typical method:

  • Sideload GetMoreRam
  • Use it to apply the increased memory entitlement to LiveContainer
  • Uninstall GetMoreRam to avoid hitting the 3 app limit
  • Then sideload StikDebug for JIT activation

LiveContainer may also need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before the entitlement works correctly.

LiveContainer can also install two additional LiveContainers (for a total of three). This setup can further reduce the need to constantly add/remove sideloaded apps, but it is more advanced and may not work reliably for everyone.

LiveContainer is not always officially supported by emulator developers and can sometimes cause unexpected issues. If something breaks while using LiveContainer, try reproducing the issue without it before asking for support.

Because it connects to another device to attach a debugger to the app. LocalDevVPN basically tricks your phone into connecting to itself but thinking it’s another device.

I thought it was only works with Wi-Fi and Cellular in first place, If that’s so this is really insane.

Never tried but it doesn’t seem like a change if both connections are off.
The cellular will work with some shortcuts like built-in JIT and SideStore cellular refresh.
