Can’t install iCloud

[night granite]

I can’t install iCloud web version. I’ve used the provided link, but when I run the setup file, it says:

“iCloud for Windows Installer Error”
“The installer encountered errors before iCloud web could run”

[fervent acorn]

You don’t need to install iCloud for sideloading apps

If you actually need iCloud functionality use the ms store version

[night granite]

Oh that’s good then. But how come on the sideloadly website it says I need it

And it won’t detect my device with only iTunes?

[fervent acorn]

Idk it’s incorrect

[fervent acorn]

Did you connect the device via usb and trust the computer?

[stray zodiac]

[fervent acorn]

What false

You literally don’t

[stray zodiac]

You need iCloud

the altstore.io guide has had that in it for years

[night granite]

Connected it, however never got a trust the device option

Which in the past I have, but weirdly right now I won’t

[fervent acorn]

Is iTunes on?

Might be a bad cable

[fervent acorn]

Firstly he’s using sideloadly, second of all people have tried without iCloud installed and it works

[night granite]

iTunes is on and authorised. The cable charges my phone, why would it not work to connect?

[fervent acorn]

Does iTunes detect it?

Might be this weird bug where the service for connecting devices stops working

Always happens to me

[stray zodiac]

i'm aware that he's using sideloadly, I was just providing altstore as an example. Why would sideloadly say you need iCloud if you don't.

[fervent acorn]

Idk but you don’t

[stray zodiac]

clearly you do

[fervent acorn]

Probably some old issue that no longer happens

[night granite]

How should I verify that it does?

[fervent acorn]

Listen I’ve personally used sideloadly without iCloud installed

[stray zodiac]

I don't wanna be warned for drama, so i'm not going to argue anymore, but i'm just going to leave it at if they say you need iCloud then you need it

[fervent acorn]

It will show a small icon with an iPhone inside

[night granite]

Ah yea, don’t have that

[fervent acorn]

Ok are you on windows 11?

[night granite]

Windows 10

[fervent acorn]

Is there a services tab in task manager?

[night granite]

Yes

[fervent acorn]

Idk if it’s there on 10

Ok so restart bonjour and apple device services

Try this also: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/rp5buz/tutorial_how_to_use_altserver_if_you_have_to_use/

This has fixed it for people in the past

[night granite]

Done that

[night granite]

I’ll give this a shot after this other method 🙏

[fervent acorn]

Alright try restarting iTunes and sideloadly and replugging the phone

[night granite]

Still not identifying

[fervent acorn]

Try a different cable

[night granite]

Does it have to be a specific version of iTunes?

[fervent acorn]

Nope any version should work

[night granite]

Another cable also doesn’t work. Charges my phone, but no trust option

[fervent acorn]

Have you trusted the pc before?

Oops wrong reply

[night granite]

To answer anyway, I have

[fervent acorn]

Last solution that might work is restarting both the pc and phone

Otherwise try the Reddit thread

[night granite]

I'll try the reddit thread right now

[fervent acorn]

Also if you have a Mac lying around better use it

These stupid issues don’t happen on Mac’s

[night granite]

I don't unfortunately

Yeah I think I'm cooked. Is there another way I can get a deb into an ipa then get it on my phone?

[fervent acorn]

Sideloadly has an export option and esign has tweak injection support

[night granite]

I just can't get Sideloadly to work. It has in the past, but not anymore it seems

Esign I'm not sure works on my iOS version

[fervent acorn]

Esign works on all versions but requires a certificate

[stray zodiac]

the export option doesn't require a device

you can use sideloadly to inject the deb and then use like sidestore or something to install the ipa

[night granite]

How do I inject the deb and export it? Apologies I'm such a novice

[fervent acorn]

Export ipa

Then start

[stray zodiac]

under signing mode

[night granite]

Completely missed it

Does sidestore have specific requirements also?

[fervent acorn]

You need to be able to use alt server

And pair the device

Both only need to be done once

And if you are having issues getting your phone detected by your pc you won’t be able to do neither

There’s another option tho

You can buy a certificate from a service that sells them

It also gives you a bunch of extra entitlements so more apps can be sideloaded

And you won’t need to use a computer

[night granite]

I see. I need to find out why it won't detect my PC first. It used to always

[fervent acorn]

Maybe the usb port on your pc is at fault

Did you try both cables on the same port?

[night granite]

Yes. Tried 2 cables on 3 ports. I also have other cables that are identified by the PC in all 3 of those ports

It's just weird that two of my phone cables don't work but other cables do

[fervent acorn]

Yeah only solution I have for you is buying a cert

[night granite]

Oh well

Appreciate all the effort!

[night granite]

I figured out why it wouldn't detect my PC. I got it working finally, Sideloadly should be working again for me

Driver issues

Also true you don’t require iCloud

[fervent acorn]

@stray zodiac see

[fervent acorn]

Can you be more elaborate on what this means?

So you can help other people

[night granite]

Yea I’ll link the video that fixed it for me soon
