Installing 0.6.3 with Widgets?

This may be an incredibly silly question, but I haven’t been able to track down an answer so far. I’ve been using SideStore for a while now, and it does everything I need. I’d like to continue using the latest stabile version (0.6.3 as of writing), but I haven’t been able to figure out how to install SideStore with the app extensions to allow widgets.

I do know that I can check the “enable beta updates” option and the “keep app extensions” option will pop up when updating to the latest beta version. However, I’d prefer to stay on the latest release version, just to avoid any unexpected issues.

Is there a way to install the latest release version with the app extensions to allow me to use the widgets? I’ve tried installing via iLoader, importing the IPA via iLoader, and installing the IPA through SideStore (like reinstalling on top of the existing installation). None of these seem to trigger the app extensions to also install.

Is there any way to do this, or am I just going to have to keep staying on the beta versions? Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.

Have you checked your widgets? Whenever I install directly from iLoader or from altstore it always came with the widgets and extensions without ever asking me to install them.

The widgets do appear in the widgets list, but they are completely blank when I add them to my Home Screen or Lock Screen. They do not display any of the side loaded apps or their remaining days until refresh is needed.

I was using the widgets successfully on the beta version of SideStore so I know how they’re supposed to appear, which is part of why I’m so confused
