WHY IT MATTERS

Getting a tool like SideStore onto an iPhone, and preparing its pairing file, is the fiddly part. iloader turns it into a few buttons.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • A desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Plug in the iPhone over USB, sign in with your Apple ID, then install SideStore (stable or nightly), LiveContainer + SideStore, or import an IPA, and manage pairing files, certificates and app IDs.

WHO IT'S FOR

iPhone users who want to run apps that aren't on the App Store.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Set up usbmuxd (iTunes on Windows; included on macOS), install the app from GitHub Releases or iloader.app, plug in the iPhone and sign in with your Apple ID.

CAVEATS

  • Requires signing in with an Apple ID. Per the README, the repository and iloader.app are the only official downloads; the Homebrew cask is unofficial.
