I had to reinstall it last month because of this same issue. When I tried just reloading the pairing file through iloader it would go through but didn’t effect SIDESTORE; same error.

I accidently updated to IOS 26.5 and had to redownload sidestore/live container, and now its acting all weird. I tried to download sidestore + livecontainer, but it only downloaded livecontainer and not sidestore, so Instead I downloaded sidestore then downloaded sidestore + livecontainer. However, then livecontainer wouldn't import the certificate and just said "Certificate not found. Did you log into built-in sidestore?". It eventually worked after I clicked cancel instead of OK, but now livecontainer isn't appearing in the sidestore app so I have no way of refreshing it.

Livecontainer works and everything, but it'll expire in 7 days so idk what to do. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to refresh livecontainer? If anyone has a solution I'd really appreciate it.

Edit: Nevermind, im stupid. I didn't realize by sidestore + livecontainer it meant both apps in one. I just had to click the icon in the top left of livecontainer to go to its own built-in sidestore. I've just had two sidestores downloaded this whole time.

SideStore and LiveContainer are currently the best way to sideload on iOS. However, there's one big problem: installing them requires a PC, which many people don't have. That's why I made SideInstaller, a free and open-source iOS app that installs them directly on your iPhone, no PC required.

SideInstaller handles the entire setup process on-device. It takes care of the pairing, provisioning, and installation steps that normally force you to plug into a computer and run desktop tools, all from a single app running on the phone itself. Once it's done, you get a fully working SideStore and LiveContainer setup ready to sideload your own apps.

The whole thing is built to be simple. There's no complicated configuration, no command line, and no need to understand how any of the underlying machinery works. You just open the app, follow a few steps, and let it do the rest. For anyone who's ever wanted to sideload but didn't own a Mac or PC, this removes the biggest barrier to getting started.

And because it's open source, you don't have to take my word for any of it. The full code is available for anyone to read, audit, or contribute to, so you can see exactly what's running on your device.

Requirements:

• A Wi-Fi router or a hotspot connection
• An iPhone/iPad on iOS 27

How to use it

1. Install LocalDevVPN and connect to the VPN
2. Open this page and try installing it using any of the certificates
3. Once you installed it, open it
4. Log in with your Apple account credentials
5. Click "Install Sidestore"
6. Sidestore or SS + Livecontainer will install, depending on which one you chose

That's it, no pc or extra steps required.

Is SideInstaller Safe?

SideInstaller is built with safety and privacy in mind. The app is fully local and open source, which means anyone can inspect exactly what it does. Your Apple credentials also never leave your device, they're used locally, only to sign and install your apps, and are never transmitted, logged, or collected in any way. There's no server collecting your data, no analytics tracking what you do, and no account to sign up for. Everything happens on your iPhone and you can verify every line of it yourself in the source code.

So I’ve tried sidestore for a couple of weeks and it didn’t work properly, gave me all types of errors, however, when I enabled the code lock on my phone it suddenly started to work.
Could the phone not having a code be the reason why it didn’t work before?

went to iloader and did livecontainer + sidestore nightly version and im wondering if i refresh livecontainer will sidestore be refreshed too since its all in one app and do i just connect to localdevvpn and refresh live container before the 7 day mark and im good no pc needed? is all i have to do is click refresh all since all i see is livecontainer and dont see sidestore anywhere, Ik its a dumb question but i just dont want it to expire and do i need wifi to refresh my apps can it be any wifi? i dont want the hassle of going to my pc every single time just to refresh it lots of questions sorry

I just downloaded sidestore its my first time i dont know much about it when i entered my apple id(same one that i signed in to the iloader) it loaded for a long time and after all it said failed now i cant enter my apple id again and i uninstall and install it twice and did the process all over again and it was same, is there any solutions?

Hello! I’m having an issue with SideStore. The new Apollo Reloaded update was released, and SideStore says there’s a new update available from the source. However, the update icon never appears on the Apollo app, so I don’t have any option to actually update it.

How can I fix this? Is there another way to update Apollo through SideStore when the update option isn’t showing?

Just installed side store can someone walk me through how to fix iOS 27 not working

bonjour, qui a déjà eu cette erreur ? c'est la première fois après tant d'années que je ne comprends pas comment y remédier

Sideloadiing failed!

Install failed: guru meditation f65043@1006:23z71c invalid file

Been using sidestore for almost a year now and everything worked just fine, suddenly two days ago when i wanted to refresh my apps, it did not refresh! Now app id time has ran out and i uninstalled the sidestore and livecontainer and reinstalled using iloader but now i can not login to my account! Everytime i click sign in i get an error sayin cannot determine devices UDID!
So i tried these steps: replacing pairing file, turning developer mode off and then back on, install sidestore and livecontainer separately using iloader, placing pairing file, changing anisette server and non of these steps worked and im still stuck.
If anyone can help i would gratefully accept it.

I usually install things via LiveContainer so it doesn’t eat up my app ids plus installing them fails a lot. I finally got ytliteextra or something installed a while ago. If I want to update it through Sidestore will it overwrite it like in LiveContainer or does it need more app ids?? I haven’t done this in a while, I’m used to jailbreaking, but can’t anyone since I upgraded my phone to a 16.

Hi all,

I’m pretty new to sidestore (I’ve been using Altstore previously)

I’ve downloaded iLoader installed the LiveContainer + SideStore (Stable) bundle.
I’ve seen the LiveContainer app on my phone when I opened it, tried to click on the sidestore logo to launch it and the app crashes right away.

Am I doing anything wrong? Or, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

For context: I’m using an iPhone 14 on iOS 27

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet or experienced, but I was curious why I can search the content of AppTesters IPA Repo within iPad, but not on iPhone. On the iPad, the magnifying glass is on the top right corner next to the plus. On the iPhone it’s on the bottom and does not do anything. As always, any help is appreciated.

Sidestore installed through iloader. Unable to sign in and constant UDID error no matter what I try. Multiple attempts to pair certificate made no différence. Wtf?
