macOS Instructions

Before you start, make sure to have all steps completed found in the prerequisites!

  1. Download AltServer from AltStore's website. Copy AltServer.app to your Applications folder, then open it (using Finder, Launchpad, or Spotlight). It should appear as an icon in your menu bar.
  2. Download the SideStore IPA which you can find here.
  3. Hold option and click on the AltServer menu bar icon. Click "Sideload .ipa", and select the SideStore IPA file.
  4. On your secondary device, do the following:
    • Approve the "Developer App" under your Apple ID's email (you can find this in Settings, under "General", and then "VPN & Device Management").
    • Open the Settings app.
    • Navigate to the 'Privacy and Security' section.
    • Turn on 'Developer Mode' at the bottom.
  5. Open SideStore and select "allow" for prompts until SideStore requests a pairing file. Exit the app now.

Now, proceed to generate your pairing file.
