Post-Install Instructions

The last step to installing SideStore is to refresh SideStore within itself.

To do this, you need to:

  1. Connect to StosVPN.
  2. Open SideStore.
  3. If you haven't already, import/select your pairing file.
  4. Sign in with your Apple ID.
  5. Navigate to "My Apps".
  6. Tap the "x DAYS" button to the right of SideStore, (x is the number of days until an app's expiry).
  7. A prompt asking to create a new signing certificate should appear, tap "Refresh Now".
  8. If a prompt appears asking if you want to revoke a certificate from AltStore, tap "Yes".

If this process is successful, SideStore will open your device to your home screen, accompanied by a notification.

If SideStore is not refreshed like this immediately, a bug causing early expiry will require you to reinstall SideStore using AltServer. There is a plan to have this done automatically, but for now it needs to be done manually.

If you reinstall SideStore using AltServer, your certificate will be revoked and you will need to manually refresh it again.

If you wish to install SideStore on another device using the same Apple ID, follow these steps.
