Prerequisites

SideStore's installation process may seem tricky, but with the one-time use of a computer and some time, you'll have SideStore on your device!

Requirements

To install SideStore, you will need:

• An iPhone/iPad with a passcode running iOS/iPadOS 14 or higher
• A computer (one-time)
• An Apple Account
• A Wi-Fi connection
• Some time (This is a quick process, but you should leave time for troubleshooting)

Preparing Your Devices

On your iPhone/iPad:

SideStore utilizes an on-device VPN which allows SideStore to communicate with internal services.

1. Install the StosVPN app from the Apple App Store. If StosVPN is unavailable, you can utilize the VPN present in StikDebug. If you live in the EU, install StikDebug via AltStore PAL and add the StikDebug Source, otherwise install it via the Apple App Store. Note: you can't sideload VPNs on a free account.
2. Connect to the VPN. If you are prompted to "Allow VPN Configurations", tap 'Allow' and enter your passcode.

This VPN is required to be turned on any time you wish to install, update, or refresh apps in SideStore.

Now, follow the instructions corresponding to your computer's OS:

On your Mac

1. Download and install iloader for Mac.

On your Windows PC

1. Download and install iTunes.
2. Download the iloader installer (exe or msi).
3. Run the installer.

On your Linux Machine
