Install SideStore Without a PC

SideInstaller allows iOS 27 users to install SideStore directly on an iPhone or iPad. There is no need to connect your device to a Windows or Mac computer for the setup.

SideStore and LiveContainer Support

Install SideStore alone or choose SideStore with LiveContainer. These apps help you run and manage compatible IPA applications without a traditional jailbreak.

Install IPA Files Directly on Your iPhone

SideInstaller allows you to import IPA files and install supported apps directly on your iPhone or iPad. You can sign apps using your Apple Account without needing a traditional jailbreak. This makes it easier to install and manage compatible third-party apps.

How to Download and Install SideInstaller IPA Without a Computer

If your iPhone or iPad runs iOS 27, you can use SideInstaller to install SideStore without connecting to a computer.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Download the IPA file from above
  3. Select an available installation certificate and follow the instructions.
  4. Once installed, open the SideInstaller app.
  5. Connect to LocalDevVPN or another supported local VPN.
  6. Sign in with your Apple Account.
  7. Choose Install SideStore or Install SideStore + LiveContainer.
  8. Follow the instructions shown on the screen.
  9. Allow the installation to finish.
  10. Open SideStore and complete any remaining setup instructions.

After installation, you can use SideStore to sideload compatible IPA apps on your device.

SideInstaller does not require a jailbreak, but Apple signing rules and app compatibility limits still apply.

SideInstaller IPA Compatibility – Supported iOS Versions

SideInstaller supports iPhone and iPad devices, but the installation requirements depend on the iOS version.

  1. iOS 27+: Supported without a computer, according to the developer.
  2. iOS 18 through iOS 26.7: Supported with a pairing file that requires a computer to create.
  3. iOS 17.7.11 and earlier: Not supported according to the developer's current compatibility guide.

To check your device version, open Settings → General → About → iOS Version.

The developer has not verified every iPhone and iPad model individually, so successful installation can depend on your device and iOS build

SideInstaller IPA v1.5.3 – What's New and Why Use It?

SideInstaller v1.5.3 focuses on fixing Apple Account login problems and improving the connection needed to install apps.

The latest update includes:

  1. More Apple sign-in server options.
  2. Better handling when Apple returns a 503 error.
  3. Improvements to switching between sign-in servers.
  4. Fewer repeated verification requests when changing servers.
  5. Better LocalDevVPN compatibility.
  6. Automatic LocalDevVPN launch only when needed.

These changes can make the SideStore installation process more reliable, especially for users who experienced Apple ID login problems in earlier releases.

SideInstaller is useful because it brings the SideStore setup process into one app. However, it does not remove Apple's app-signing restrictions or guarantee that every IPA will work.
