Sideloadly

What is Sideloadly?

• Sideloadly is a software for Windows and macOS that installs (.IPA) files onto your iPhone or iPad without using the App Store.

Do I need a computer every time I install a game?

• Yes. Sideloadly requires a Mac or Windows computer each time you sideload an app.
  
  

Do I need iTunes and iCloud?

• Windows users: Yes. Sideloadly requires both iTunes and iCloud to be able to communicate with your iOS device. Be sure to download them from Apple’s official website (not the Microsoft Store) to prevent compatibility issues.

• Mac users: No. macOS should already include the necessary software and components, so you don’t need to install iTunes or iCloud separately.

Why do I need to enter my Apple ID?

• Apple requires apps to be signed with an Apple ID before they can be installed. Your Apple ID is used only for signing purposes, and it is not shared or stored by us or the AltServer.

My Apple ID uses two-factor authentication (2FA). What should I do?

• You’ll need to generate an App-Specific Password from your Apple ID account page and use that in Sideloadly. For more information, please refer to this guide.

I get an error saying “Untrusted Developer.” What should I do?

• On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, tap your Apple ID under Developer App, and select Trust.

My game stopped working after 7 days. What happened?

• With a free Apple ID, apps must be refreshed every 7 days in order to continue using them. Just connect your device to your computer and refresh the app through the SideLoadly. If you use a paid Apple Developer account, apps instead last for 1 year before needing to be refreshed.
  
  

Can I install multiple games with Sideloadly?

• Yes, but free Apple IDs allow a maximum of 3 active sideloaded apps at a time.
  
  

Sideloadly says “Device not detected.”

• Make sure your iPhone/iPad is connected with a USB cable, unlocked, and that iTunes/iCloud are installed (Windows only). Try another USB port or cable if needed.
  
  

Sideloadly is stuck on “Waiting for device.”

• Unlock your iPhone/iPad and keep it connected. If it still doesn’t work, restart both your device and your computer, then try again.
  
  

My app won’t open after installing.

• Check if you trusted the developer (see “Untrusted Developer” above). If trusted and it still doesn’t work, delete the app and reinstall with Sideloadly.
  
  

Is sideloading with Sideloadly safe?

• Yes. Sideloadly is a trusted software that does not collect any of your information. It does not pose any harm to your devices, and is only meant to enable the installation of apps on your iPhone or iPad.
