Currently when you sideload big apps like retroarch without modifying currently never finishes. AltStore has this issue before but I do see people want that fixed for big apps like it.

this may seem a bit stupid at first but what i have found out is that sideloadly's anisette server has been overflowed with so many devices that ANYONE who tries to connect to it and use it WILL get locked out of their apple id RIGHT AWAY i was able to get my apple id back though PLEASE add a warning or remove sideloadly as the default server thanks

These checks should be done sooner and an error view should show if data is missing or proxy bind fails

    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        start_em_proxy(bind_addr: "127.0.0.1:51820")
        
        guard let pf = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "ALTPairingFile") as? String else {
            print("Error: Nil ALTPairingFile")
            return
        }
        set_usbmuxd_socket()
        start_minimuxer(pairing_file: pf)
        auto_mount_dev_image()
        
        // Create destinationViewController now so view controllers can register for receiving Notifications.
        self.destinationViewController = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "tabBarController") as! TabBarController
    }

The Idea is that during install or as a setting in settings. You can enable the ability for virus scanning via VirusTotal during a initial install or a update.

This is meant for future not as a immediate thing. Throwing this in the air see what people think.

This looks really cool! I'm wondering if it is remotely ready for use as an alternative to AltStore?

This is more of a troubleshooting section (we need that), this issues is caused by a mismatched App Group.
Use PR #17 to fix.

Currently any anisette data server that is ran using Provision doesn't work. Ones that use Altserver Linux's container anisette server which uses windows iCloud under wine works fine.

Currently Sidestore cannot deactivate or activate apps as it seems to have groupID issues on altbackup.

From Jawshoeadan on Discord:

So the only thing we need for settings, is a text box that sets the userdefaults key "customAnisetteURL" to the url entered. preferably it would also check for https:// and make sure it's a valid url before saving, but I could add the checking stuff to the backend

I know this is still beta. But for the people using non-macOS, can you please build with newest repo? I found some old one in issues tab and that won't open in IOS 16 for me

(Development only) Change the value for ALTDeviceID in the Info.plist to your device's UDID. Normally, SideServer embeds the device's UDID in SideStore's Info.plist during installation. When running through Xcode you'll need to set the value yourself or else SideStore won't resign (or even install) apps for the proper device. You can achieve this by changing a few things to be able to build and use SideStore.

This is confusing for people less experienced with Xcode, as Info.plist is generated at build time and does not show up in the editor. Instead, you must edit the property in AltStore -> Targets -> AltStore -> Info -> Custom iOS Target Properties.

I would have just PR'd a change in the README, but I wondered if another solution might be preferable, such as adding the property to CodeSigning.xcconfig or somewhere else more visible.

Currently hardcoded to 69.69.0.1 and it would be idea if there were a way to change that

Currently there seems to be a bug on after you install sidestore for the first time and sideloaded apps without refreshing sidestore. The list of apps disappears on the app during a refresh. Resideloading the apps sideloaded works but it's odd that behavior happens.

The thing i needed to add to info.plist.

Make it read from a local file and or docs.

• swiftlint
• build
• test
• auto contributors

The list that is normally at bottom of my apps for looking at my appid's is missing in beta mode.

When a user gets a 36607 error I feel there should be a detail to change anisette server or try again later after the initial message.

Currently it seems there is no method of an automatic jit activation method like altkit or jitstreamer attach. We could maybe implement jitstreamer attach but I think one modified into altkit would be better rollout as joelle mentioned they could do that.

The web app / shortcut will interact with AltServer to gain knowledge and then tell’s AltServer to do what it needs to do and then “opens” the actual app.

This simulates unlimited apps in a way. Shortcuts could be used for this rather than Safari and may be easier. Look into this Joelle. 😘

Doesn't work well in split-screen

This was mentioned in discord by joelle and essentially uses shortcut to extend the life of sidestore. Using Sidestore to create a sound and shortcut reacting to it and extending execution time could make it last 100% time on device. This requires experimentation to fool the detection system ios uses to trigger this process.

Currently one must do a whole bunch of random things like changing the target iOS version, clearing caches, resolving packages, etc. to get it to build without errors indicating that err.h cannot be found, can't bind to OpenSSL name, etc.

SideStore will stall with the progress bar mostly completed, right after Successfully sent app data (XXXXXXXX bytes), and the server never actually installs the app on the device.

This issue only occurs when using the JITStreamer server, a local instance of SideServer works fine.

This will make it easier to track against the Windows and Linux versions, as well as make it easier to rewrite AltServer when the time comes.

/Users/eritang/Dropbox/Macerror build: Stored properties cannot be marked potentially unavailable with '@available'

Note
When the Harmony Sync card is done - sure to Harmony sync these files across devices and for org accounts, allow them to share their cert with their other Org members.

Import
Setting's Tab in Login Info Section: "Replace Apple ID with imported certificate..."
• .p12 file opens in AltStore.
• AltStore asks for .p12 password (and optionally a .mobileprovision file)
Note: Indicate that the user is using an external cert in the login info section of the Setting tab after import.

Export
AltStore / AltServer should be able to export it's .p12, .p12 password (device UUID / machine ID), and the .mobileprovision file.

Just a tracking issue

No reason to leave it as a submodule, it can (and should) be added as a normal package.

Basically PR #17

This would make it so you can have default trusted sources so users can remove trusted sources if they don't want it. If it's not in List the user can add their own. This would make sidestore more like an actual AppStore than it be a proxy to add apps. This would eliminate needing to update the built in app list without possible risk of crashing from what I'm told.

Currently sidestores widget doesn't exist like AltStores one does.

Trying to make the build process easier

When you refresh via side store it says it has 6 days left when refreshing yourself at 5-6 day marks or below when it should be 7 like AltStore has.

This also includes appid's

The URL task should support http-redirect headers, 301s etc.

think this is just adding a block handler to the URL session for redirects to return "yes"

This could be an extension of #22, providing build artifacts for every commit.
Not everybody has Xcode (Windows/Linux users), and it's very finicky and often refuses to cooperate and provide a viable artifact.

This will aid in more rapid collaboration and development once finished.

Seems like whenever beta mode enables randomly after compiling it causes issues with the app like the appids button disappears. Sometimes sources seems affected too like if something is being changed.

Hi!

I'm ZonD80, I have a proposal for sidestore development, and I can make server side of it (in case if you will accept this), If you are interested, how can I contact you on telegram or any other messenger (I'm @ZonD80 everywhere)

Btw your email github@sidestore is not working, that's why it is here

Find all the urls and Riley ids and refactor to a data manager or const structs

Im confused because i dont speak code, if you can please make some sort of simplified tutorial for non developers

Staging the sidestore app seems to have a struggle as most of time it doesn't work because of said problem during refresh. Also creates a second app and fails using refresh likely related issue. Restating app only worked once and never worked again.
