Enabling JIT

note

There are many methods to enabling JIT, such as AltJIT, SideJITServer, and more. This tutorial will cover the use of StikDebug (formerly StikJIT), as it is the method we currently recommend. As an alternative, SideStore 0.6.2-nightly.2025.04.15 also includes updates to minimuxer, allowing built-in JIT functionality similar to StikDebug. To use this, simply ensure you are connected to StosVPN and Wi-Fi or with mobile data and Wi-Fi disabled.

Prerequisites​

  • An iDevice on iOS/iPadOS 17.4 or above, excluding 18.4b1. If you are on 17.0-17.3, you must use an alternative such as SideJITServer
  • At least 1 free app slot (if sideloading)

StikDebug installation with Apple App Store (Doesn't require an app slot)​

  1. Install StikDebug Install StikDebug from the Apple App Store. Something nice- the VPN present in StikDebug is similar to the one used in SideStore, meaning you use it to install and refresh apps as well.

  2. Installation procedures: Follow the standard installation procedures in the usage guide below.
