Sideloadly Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
Q: How do I setup automatic app refreshing?
A: When sideloading your app, you now have an option to automatically refresh said app. When the automatic refreshing is enabled, Sideloadly will automatically enroll the app for automatic refreshing which is then handled by the Sideloadly Daemon.
For this to work, a computer is currently needed with Wi-Fi sideloading set up (see below) or your device connected via USB. Sideloadly Daemon will automatically attempt to refresh apps that are near expiry when the device is detected via Wi-Fi or USB.
Q: How do I enable Wi-Fi sideloading via Sideloadly?
A: To enable Wi-Fi sideloading your iDevice, please make sure your computer & iOS device are connected to the same network. Then you will need to initially connect your device via USB and follow these instructions depending on your OS:
Windows: Open iTunes > Connected Device > Summary > Options > Enable "Sync with this iDevice over Wi-Fi" option > Sync & Done.
Latest macOS: Finder > Select your iDevice under 'Locations' > General > Enable "Show this iDevice when on Wi-Fi" option > Sync & Done.
Older macOS: Open iTunes > Connected Device > Summary > Options > Enable "Sync with this iDevice over Wi-Fi" option > Sync & Done.
In some cases, if Sideloadly is not detecting your device wirelessly, you may need to open iTunes. You also need to have your iDevice screen on for it to be detected.
Q: How do I update an app enrolled for automatic refreshing in the daemon?
A: Simply open Sideloadly and add the new IPA while using the same Apple/bundle ID and make sure the automatic refresh option is enabled & proceed to sideload. Sideloadly will automatically overwrite the previous IPA & files with the newly sideloaded version.
Q: How do I enable the Sideloadly Mail Plug-in on macOS?
A: Please open the macOS Mail App and then open Settings/Preferences. If you need to login to an email account, you can simply click on the Other option and provide some random information to be able to gain access to Mail's preferences. Once on the General Preferences window, at the bottom you will see the option to "Manage Plug-ins", click on it and tick/enable the SideloadlyPlugin.mailbundle and then click on Apply and Restart Mail.
Q: How long will I be able to use the sideloaded app?
A: A normal & free Apple Developer account only allows the app to function for 7 days. After 7 days you can sideload it again using the same Apple ID, just make sure your progress is backed up. Apps signed with a paid Apple Developer Account can last up to 1 year.
Q: Developer Mode Required. How do I enable developer mode on my iOS device to sideload apps?
A: Since iOS 16+, Apple now requires users to enable "Developer Mode" on their devices in order to allow the sideloading & installation of apps outside of the iOS App Store. To enable Developer Mode go to Settings > Privacy & Security on the iOS device. Scroll down to the Developer Mode list item and navigate into it and enable the developer mode switch.
Q: How can I save or load my in-game progress?
A: You need to make sure your game progress is being synced over Game Center, Facebook, Twitter or Google+. If the game saves it's progress locally, you will need to install the IPA overwriting the one you already have installed. In order to overwrite, the modified IPA must have the same bundle ID and you must use the same Apple ID when sideloading. See below for more information.
Q: Can I overwrite my current app without removing it?
A: Yes, it is possible. In order to accomplish this, you need to sideload the IPA with the same Apple ID that your previously sideloaded app is with. If you previously manually set a custom bundle ID, you need to use the same ID again.
Q: How many apps can I sideload?
A: iOS 7, 8, 9: You can sideload as many apps as you like on your device. However your free developer account has limitations but you can easily bypass those limitations by creating a new Apple ID. On iOS 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and higher, you can only have 3 sideloaded apps installed on your device at the same time. Apple has limited this and will not allow any more for free Apple Developer accounts. A paid Apple Developer Account does not have such limitations. If you're on iOS 16.1.2 & lower, you can remove these limitations by using WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit.
Q: How can I connect Sideloadly to my Apple TV?
A: If you have an Apple TV with a USB port, simply plug it in to your computer and Sideloadly will detect it. If you have a portless Apple TV then sideloading will only work on macOS. A virtual macOS should also work as long as you are using the same network.
For macOS to see your Apple TV, open Settings > Remotes & Devices > Remote App & Devices and keep it on that screen so Sideloadly will detect your Apple TV.
Q: Why can't I restore my Game Center game progress after sideloading?
A: With the latest iOS versions, Apple has prevented users on free Apple accounts from sideloading apps that have the same bundle ID as an App Store app. In order to sideload on the latest iOS versions, we are forced to set a unique bundle ID and in doing so, Game Center does not recognize the app therefore will not prompt you to restore your save.
Q: Sideloadly does not show my device? How do I fix <no devices detected>?
A: If this happens, reinstall web version of iTunes & iCloud linked above & reboot your PC. Then open up iTunes while your device is connected & make sure you tap on 'Trust' from the popup on your iDevice and your device should show up in Sideloadly. Trying a different USB cable or port may also help.
Q: How do I trust the app? How do I fix "Untrusted Developer"?
A: To trust the app after sideloading, you will need to go to Settings -> General -> Profiles/VPN & Device Management and once there, tap on the email you used to sideload then trust it.
Q: Does Sideloadly support iOS 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16?
A: Sideloadly should support iOS 7 up to iOS 16 (and other iOS versions in the future). If you experience any iOS specific issues, do let us know so we can investigate!
Q: What kind of .dylibs or .debs can I add to my IPA? App crashes on launch after injecting dylib/deb/framework.
A: All dylib/deb/framework files are supported by Sideloadly, however, some of these files are specifically made for Jailbroken and will causes crashes when sideloaded on non-jailbroken devices. Sideloadly will automatically attempt to update the injected files to support non-jailbroken devices, but it won't always 100% work due to how they are made.
Q: Where is the Sideloadly auto refresh cache folder located?
A: Windows: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\cache\sideloadly
macOS: /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Caches
Q: Does Sideloadly support Apple Silicon M1/M2 Mac?
A: Yes! Sideloadly has been updated to support Apple Silicon MacBook, Mac Minis and iMacs. When Sideloadly is ran on an Apple Silicon device, it will detect and display the Mac itself on the devices list to install the .IPA to. This has been tested by us on Big Sur, Monterey & Ventura.
Q: Does Sideloadly work on Apple Silicon M1/M2 Mac with SIP Enabled?
A: Yes! Sideloadly was tested & working with SIP enabled Mac Mini. It is currently uncertain about SIP disabled.
Q: Why am I receiving no permission error when opening my sideloaded M1/M2 iOS App?
A: This issue happens if the IPA you have sideloaded was encrypted (downloaded through iTunes or straight from your device). In order to fix this, you need to sideload the decrypted version of the IPA.
Q: How can I use an app-specific Password?
A: App-specific passwords partially works via Sideloadly. App-specific password can only work if you are using a paid Apple Developer ID with anisette option disabled.
Q: Can I make legit In-App Purchases on sideloaded apps?
Unfortunately, no. Apple prevents In-App Purchases from working on sideloaded/enterprise installed apps. If you want to support the developers, install the original App Store version and make In-App Purchases there.
Q: Which Windows version does Sideloadly support?
A: Sideloadly should work on Windows 7, 8, 10 & 11. For the best results, Windows 10 or higher is recommended.
Q: Which macOS version does Sideloadly support?
A: Sideloadly should work on macOS 10.12 Sierra and higher. For the best results, macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura & higher is recommended.
Q: "Sideloadly" wants access to control "System Events"?
A: This access is requested for Sideloadly to be able to automatically launch and close/minimize the macOS Mail app which is required for it to be open when sideloading. You can disallow access to this request, but in doing so you will have to make sure the Mail app is opened when launching Sideloadly.
Q: What information does Sideloadly transmit when connecting to the Anisette server?
A: We use our server for Anisette data only. This data is only only transmitted if using the "Remote Anisette" option under Sideloadly's Advanced Options. When using remote anisette, here is the exhaustive list of information our server can see:
- Your IP address
- Your OS (win32, win64 or macOS)
- Sideloadly version.
That's all. We don't share this information with anyone, and it is stored for a limited time for debugging purposes only. Your Apple ID & Password is only sent to Apple servers.
Q: The app/IPA was sideloaded successfully, but no app or icon is appearing on my home screen?
A: If this happens to you, please reboot your device as that usually helps.
Q: How do I fix "error ‘machineName’"?
A: A few members have reported that changing your computer's name helps. Search for “computer name” or “machine name” from the start menu.
Q: How do I fix "Your maximum App ID limit has been reached. You may create up to 10 App IDs every 7 days."?
A: This is a limitation set by Apple on free developer accounts. To fix this, you can either wait a few days and try again, or use another Apple ID to sideload.
Q: How do I fix "This device has reached the maximum number of installed apps using a free developer profile"?
A: This is a limitation set by Apple on free developer accounts. If you are using a free Apple Developer account, you can only have 3 sideloaded apps installed on your device at the same time.
Q: How do I fix "Your session has expired. Please log in." or "This action could not be completed due to possible environment mismatch."?
A: To resolve this issue, please see this tutorial posted on the Sideloadly subreddit.
Q: How do I fix "Call to lockdownd_client_new_with_handshake failed: LOCKDOWN_E_INVALID_HOST_ID" error?
A: Please make sure you have trusted your PC from your device when asked. You can try rebooting your PC while keeping the device plugged in. On latest macOS, open Finder -> Locations -> iDevice -> Trust. Or open iTunes and sync your device.
Q: How do I fix "Call to np_client_new failed: NP_E_CONN_FAILED" error?
A: Please make sure you uninstall the Microsoft Store version of iTunes and install the normal/web version (x64 - x32). After that, connect your device and sync it then open Sideloadly.

Q: How do I fix "No space left on device" error?
A: This error usually means there is no space left on your hard drive on your computer. Please check and make sure there is enough space on your computer for Sideloadly to work.
Q: How do I fix "Failed to check for updates: Could not fetch the daemon" error.
A: This error can be resolved by simply running the Sideloadly installer. Please download the latest Sideloadly version from sideloadly.io and install it.
Q: How do I fix "Failed to obtain anisette: 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR"
A: This is a temporary issue caused by a server error when using the Remote Anisette option. If you are receiving this message, please try again later or use the Local Anisette option under Sideloadly's Advanced Settings.
Q: How do I fix "Invalid argument /path/to/app.ipa"
A: This happens when the downloaded .IPA file has been quarantined or deleted by your Antivirus. Or may be in use by another process on your computer.
Q: How do I fix "Sideloadly cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified" on my macOS?
A: If you are receiving this message, you will need to head over to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy and you should have the option to "Open Anyway" for Sideloadly.
Q: How do I fix "The identity used to sign the executable is no longer valid."?
A: This message means that the time & date on your computer & iOS device may be incorrect. Please use the correct & current time on your computer and iOS device and try again.
Q: How do I fix "A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found."?
A: We believe this message is also tied to the date & time of your devices. Please use the correct & current time on your computer and iOS device and try again.

A: This message means that the .IPA file you are attempting to install does not support your device. There is no workaround for this issue.
Q: How do I fix "Installation failed: 0 InstallProhibited"?
A: This message means that device you are trying to install the app to is supervised and does not have permission to install new applications. To fix this, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps > Allow.
Q: How do I fix "no default case defined"?
A: This message usually means that a file inside your .IPA is corrupted, or in an incorrect format. You will need to remove the corrupted file from the IPA before proceeding. In most cases presented to us, the file seems to be /AppName.app/ftm.dylib.
