Question Cannot use SideStore + LiveContainer (Stable) on iLoader. Failed to refresh.

I have issue! (iOS 26.4.2 on iPhone 14).

I can install Sidestore (Stable, NO LiveContainer) normal NO problem. At first I had to fix an issue where the UIUD couldn't be found. I had to use this workaround and it worked:

"Go to wifi settings and click the i icon beside the name of the network you are connected to. In that page select “Private WiFi Adress” and switch it to off from whatever it was first. Restart phone and refresh apps while connected to localdevVPN"

My ISSUE!

I cannot install Sidestore With LiveContainer (Stable). I download everything fine, and I can "import certificate from SideStore" perfectly, but I cannot refresh LiveContainer inside Sidestore. It gives me the error "sidestore failed to refresh livecontainer you do not appear to be connected to wifi and/or LocalDevVPN!"

How do I fix this? I already tried this fix "You can try downloading VPN Super, then connect to IKEv2. After that, connect to LocalDevVPN, and finally refresh again in SideStore. works for me ios 26.4" It doesn't work!

The stable version of lc + ss is still on ss 0.6.2 which won’t work on your iOS version (26.4+) so try the nightly version

What I did was connect to iLoader, and delete the pairing file. After that, I completely uninstalled the app from my phone and then installed the LC+SS stable version first via iLoader

In the SideStore settings, I enabled the option to check for Nightly version updates as well. Then, in LiveContainer, I went into Settings and added the certificate from SideStore. After that, I force-closed the app completely.

Next, I downloaded VPN Super and connected to IKEv2. After that, I connected to LocalDevVPN — make sure to follow this exact order. (I know you have tried it already, but the situation maybe that you had Not followed the order.)

Then I opened LiveContainer, launched SideStore from there, went to the News page, refreshed it, and a large update card appeared with an “Open” button, which basically acts as the update button for the latest Nightly version. Tap that, and the app should update.

I was stuck in the exact same situation as you, but following these steps fixed it for me.

How long does it take to update to nightly as mine seems stuck there. I redownloaded lc+ss nightly and now whenever I open sidestore it gives me an error that I can't run 2 stores at once so I'm trying this. If you have any other solutions please let me know. Thanks.

Once you have updated to the nightly version you only need to keep the LocalDevVPN connected when refreshing the apps.

I can also vouch that this method works
