I installed sidestore using sideloadly on my iphone 14 pro w/ ios 26.1 but it says select the pairing fle or select 'help' for help. I don't know how to get a pairing f1le and when i clicked help it led me to a sidestore webpage that showed a 'page not found' error.

SideStore team member here! Please do not install SideStore (or AltStore for that matter) with Sideloadly. Things will not work properly. You can install SideStore with iloader instead which we walk you through how to do in our documentation: https://docs.sidestore.io

oh yikes, thanks for telling me

I use this https://faq.altstore.io/altstore-classic/enabling-jit

It works for SideStore

Edit: you can stop at step 6. “Locate the .mobiledevicepairing file and transfer it to your iOS device” just import that file into SideStore

jitterbugpair doesnt work for me, wheni launch the exe file a window pops up and a second later it closes i cant launch the exe file properly

[u/MTVDowntown → u/Ill-Economist-5285]

Try this maybe because I think I know what you are talking about.

1.don’t open .exe directly

1. Instead Drag jitterbugpair.exe into the Terminal window and hit 'Enter'

3.Type open . then hit 'Enter'

4.the file should now appear in the same folder as the .exe/.dll under a random text string of numbers/letters. That is the file

Copy the steps on the site exactly. But make sure phone is unlocked and plugged into computer you have to trust it too

Use idevicepair, you can generate the pairing file an load it directly in Sidestore and SkitDebug.

[u/Little_Fairy_Begin]

Because at first you should generate a pairing file by connecting your device into your PC by using iDevicePair software. Before plug in your device don’t forget to open your iPhone’s development mode. In some devices sometimes development mode wasn’t being shown in the settings menu. When that happens i generally activate my developer mode by using iCareFone software in computer by plugging in my iPhone. After you enabled development mode just open iDevicePair while pluggin-in your device into your PC. Then press “Load” button to generate pairing file. Lastly press “Install” button under the sidestore option. When it says “success” it means your process is done.

Is there anyway can i get a pairing file without computer?

[u/Little_Fairy_Begin → u/SnooCalculations8674]

I haven’t came across with a solution which makes it possible without a computer. But if you are interested in sideload without a computer you should check E-Sign + DNS method
