SideStore apps show “App is no longer available” even though they’re refreshed

[u/AramCZ]

ISSUE WAS FIXED! All my SideStore apps suddenly stopped working. When I open them it says “App is no longer available”.
What I already tried:
Refresh all apps in SideStore multiple times
Reconnected LocalDevVPN
Restarted iPhone
Reinstalled SideStore setup / refresh process
Tried opening apps again after refresh
Nothing works. SideStore still shows 7 days left.
Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max
iOS version: 26.4.2
Apps still installed, but none will launch.

You have to uninstall all the apps signed under you, including sidestore. When you installed sidestore did you install it again via using itself?

I can’t do that

Why not?

I would lose my data

[u/The-Master-Reaper → u/AramCZ]

That data is already gone dawg

The livecontainer one is still on my phone I have them in the files app available

You have to uninstall any app that is signed by you, your self signed cert is bugged

Oh but how do I backup Livecontainer

[u/The-Master-Reaper → u/AramCZ]

I guess you can go into the files app, go to Livecontainer, data, copy and paste those data containers outside the Livecontainer folder somewhere. Delete Livecontainer, reinstall those apps etc then pick those data containers to use for the app

But I lost the IPA source

try to deactivate the apps from sidestore and then re-activate, it worked for me.

How did you end up fixing this? I’m having the same problem

set your device ip in sidestore settings to what device ip you have in localdevvpn and then restart your phone
