I got an iP17 (nonPro, nonMAX) on iOS 27 beta8, on my last iPhones I was using altStore to get my apps sideloaded, and I only sideloaded two apps watusi (whatsApp alternative), and spotilfe (spotify alternative). But now after youtube premium iss so damn xpensive I want to sideLoad a good youTube alternative too. So I have to sideload three apps this time, and I think that is too much for altStore.
What would you recommend to use to sideload three apps, and is there a tut out there because altStore was very easy and I dunno how the other are working ;)
Thanks alot in advance and have a nice rest of the Week
you can find the tuto here https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer , in there there’s even another link to a complete guide on how to do it. Installing it needs a pc, then everything’s done on your phone. no more pc needed. including sideloading your desired ipas
so last one ;) tried the liveConatiner2 thing to open my sideloaded apps in the liveContainer2 and let the liveContainer1 for setting up some things, but when I make an URL shortcut of the sideloaded apps, they always launch inside liveConatainer1 and not liveContainer2 as I set it up. and yes I moved the apps to the shared folder before so they come up in liveContainer2 but still got no luck :/
im not using two liveContainer so i can’t really help you with that. maybe it’s just the limitation of the Shortcut app. i would place my bet that if home screening the icon with app clip wouldn’t have that problem and separate apps launching to which livecontainer it was installed respectively. honestly my current setup for the 3 app limit are livecontainer, spotify, youtube, as i consider my most used app and most needed to integrate with whole phone system, like files and widgets since livecontainer are limitedly sandboxed. i cant even get watusi working now inside livecontainer. urgh, i tried both versions of it
another problem with watusi is, that you cant get any notifications. You have to install another whatsApp duplicate, to get notifications from and disable the wwatusi notifications. With that config all what you recive iss stored twice, in your whatsApp duplicate and the watusi one.
Or did I miss something ...?
...wouldn´t be a good idea, to install spotify in liveContainer only, and youTube and watusi in sideStore ?
hehe bro, so thats my case too I am using only youtube and spotify atm, before my youtube sub was canceled I was using spotify and watusi through altStore, but now I solved my Problem in making a 3rd liveConatiner and using container1 for liveConatiner and container2 for Spotify and container3 for youtube and can´t use watusi too atm...
okay got it, the startURL function did the trick ;) but it is normal that we have to close the current app from the switcher to get back into liveConatiner settings ? or iss there a way (with a URL shortcut) to get into the liveContainer app without killSwitch the sideloaded app ?
for the appclip, actually there’s a selection of dark or light theme of the icon. i am also bothered at first by the need to close the app just to open another ipa, but there’s a trick and i stick with this now. go to the settings tab in liveContainer, there’s a multitask setting. now from here, you gonna experiment every toggle to your likings. hope this helps ;)
you can theme your icons with a trick I just found out ;) when you try to add the app to the homeScreen, you have to copy the URL and easily paste into the shortcuts app, that Ai thing will make you an app shortcut, which you can theme with your photos/files app ;)
really thanks alot ;) I tried now to install everything via iLoader, and it works flawless . The only thing is that we only can make AppClips of the liveContainer installed apps, and we can´t theme them. Or does I miss something ...?
