Sideloadly Tool

Sideloadly makes it easier to install IPA applications on your iPhone or iPad without jailbreaking. You need a Windows or Mac computer, your Apple ID, a USB cable for initial setup, and the IPA file you want to install.

Follow these steps:

1. Install Sideloadly on your Windows or Mac computer.
2. Open the Sideloadly application.
3. Connect your iPhone or iPad using a USB cable.
4. Unlock your device and tap Trust This Computer if requested.
5. Make sure your device appears in Sideloadly.
6. Drag and drop your IPA file into the Sideloadly window.
7. Enter your Apple ID in the required field.
8. Click Start to begin the installation.
9. Complete Apple verification if requested.
10. Allow Sideloadly to sign and install the IPA file.

After installation, open Settings → General → VPN & Device Management on your iPhone or iPad and trust the developer profile if required.

For iOS 16 and later, you may also need to enable Developer Mode under Settings → Privacy & Security.

Once the installation is complete, the app should appear on your Home Screen. Open it to check whether it works with your iOS version.

Windows users: Sideloadly requires the desktop versions of iTunes and iCloud provided by Apple rather than the Microsoft Store versions for its Windows setup.

Sideloadly supports a wide range of iPhone and iPad devices. The developer lists compatibility from iOS 7 to iOS 27 and later versions.

Supported iOS versions

1. iOS 27 series
2. iOS 26 series
3. iOS 18, iOS 17, and iOS 16
4. iOS 15, iOS 14, and iOS 13
5. Older versions back to iOS 7

Supported devices and platforms

1. iPhone models running a compatible iOS version.
2. iPad models running a compatible iOS or iPadOS version.
3. Apple Silicon Macs, including supported M-series models.
4. Compatible Apple TV devices, with some installation limitations.

Computer requirements

1. Windows 7 or later.
2. macOS 10.12 or later.
3. A working USB connection for first-time device pairing.
4. Internet access for app signing and Apple Account verification.

Although Sideloadly supports many iOS versions, each IPA must also support your device. Some applications require newer iOS versions, special permissions, or hardware features.

Changing an IPA's minimum iOS version does not guarantee that the application will work on an older device.

Sideloadly includes several useful features for iPhone and iPad users who install IPA files.

Wi-Fi IPA Installation

After the first USB connection, you can set up Wi-Fi sideloading. Your iPhone and computer must be connected to the same local network. You can then install compatible IPA files without connecting the USB cable each time.

Automatic App Refreshing

Sideloadly includes a background service called Sideloadly Daemon. It can renew app signatures before they expire when your computer is running and your device is available through Wi-Fi or USB.

IPA Tweak Injection

Sideloadly supports adding compatible .deb, .dylib, .framework, and .bundle files to an IPA before installation. This is useful for supported app modifications, but some injected files may cause installation problems or crashes.

IPA App Customization

Sideloadly offers options for changing the application name, bundle ID, and some other settings. Certain features, including changing app icons, may require Patreon access.

JIT Support

Sideloadly includes Just-In-Time (JIT) support for some applications that need extra performance. The developer currently lists this feature as supported up to iOS 16.

Installation Logs

If an IPA does not install, Sideloadly provides error logs. These can help you understand whether the problem is related to signing, device connection, IPA compatibility, or another installation issue.

If Sideloadly is not installing IPA files or your device is not connecting, try these solutions.

1. Sideloadly Not Detecting iPhone or iPad

Fix: Unlock your device, reconnect the USB cable, and tap Trust This Computer. Windows users should check that the desktop versions of iTunes and iCloud are installed. Restart Sideloadly and try again.

2. Sideloadly Apple ID Login Error

Fix: Update to Sideloadly v0.71.0 or later. This version improves Apple ID authentication. Make sure your internet connection works, then enter a new verification code if requested.

3. Sideloadly Anisette Error or HTTP 503 Error

Fix: The latest Sideloadly version includes fixes for HTTP 503 and Apple sign-in issues. Update the tool and try again. If the problem continues, check the available Anisette settings.

4. Sideloadly IPA Installation Failed

Fix: Make sure the IPA file is complete and compatible with your device. Check your available storage and open the installation log to find the exact error. The latest version includes improved IPA file checks.

5. Untrusted Developer Error

Fix: On your iPhone, open Settings → General → VPN & Device Management. Select the developer profile used for installation and trust it.

6. Developer Mode Required

Fix: Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode. Enable it and restart your device if requested. This is required for normal sideloading on iOS 16 and later.

7. Sideloaded App Expires After Seven Days

Fix: Enable automatic app refreshing in Sideloadly. Keep your computer running with Sideloadly Daemon enabled and make sure your iPhone is available over Wi-Fi or USB before the app expires.

8. Sideloadly Three-App Limit Reached

Fix: Apple normally limits personal-account signing to three installed apps at the same time on modern iOS versions. Remove an unused sideloaded app to make space.

9. Sideloadly Wi-Fi Sideloading Not Working

Fix: Connect your iPhone to your computer using USB, enable Wi-Fi syncing, and make sure both devices are connected to the same network. Restart Sideloadly if your iPhone does not appear.

10. IPA App Crashes After Tweak Injection

Fix: Try installing the IPA without the added tweaks. Some .deb or .dylib files require a jailbroken device and cannot work inside a normally sideloaded application
