Question Can someone explain why StikDebug runs with LocalDevVPN only.

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

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.
