Support Ticket

We want to help you to the best of our ability, but first we have to ask and make sure you have taken the proper steps to installing SideStore before we can help.

Ensure The WiFi AND VPN Are On

Without WiFi AND the WireGuard VPN, SideStore cannot function correctly. Try toggling the VPN a few times.

Ensure You Don't Have AltStore

If you have AltStore installed as well as SideStore, you will only be able to install 1 or NO apps in SideStore!

Ensure Your Anisette Server Works

If you are using the official SideStore server you can check https://ani.sidestore.io/ in Safari for a text output.If there is no output, ping a Project Developer immediately!

Provide SideStore Log Files or Screenshots

Please provide as much information about the error you are experiencing. You can send the minimuxer.log file from inside Files > SideStore as well as in-app screenshots, and that would help us diagnose your issues much faster!

Finally, The Hardest Requirement...

Patience! Please have patience with our Helpers and Developer staff, we are all open source maintainers who do all of this for free on our own time. Thank you!

I have the exact same issue on the same phone. My best solution currently is the just sideload ipa's from sideserver or sideloadly until it's fixed

stable meteor
#

When you say reset pairing file, what do you mean by that? Did you plug your phone into your computer and regenerate your pairing file?

#

@native aspen You as well, did you regenerate your pairing file? I personally don’t have a 15 Pro, so i’m hoping this issue can be fixed

#

It might be that iOS 17.0 -> 17.0.2 on the 15 might need a new pairing file, try rerunning jitterbugpair on your computer with your device plugged in

native aspen
#

yes i've regenerated pairing several times and i've done a clean insall a couple of times

stable meteor
#

Do you have any logs?

#

Files > SideStore > minimuxer.log

native aspen
#

no sorry i have uninstalled but i can install again and try installing an app if that would help

stable meteor

yes

@storm saffron This looks pretty bad, heartbeat can’t start on iOS 17.0.2

Just not as prominent

I’m afraid of new iOS versions somehow patching us, this might be it. We’ll see what nature has to say.

#

redhead do you have a Mac? Can you get device logs?

native aspen
#

No

stable meteor
#

Rip, okay. If we’re broken, libimobiledevice might be broken, but idk. Your device shows up on your computer?

zenith edge
#

didn’t apple like fixed a bug or an exploit in 17.0.1+?

stable meteor
#

Yeah, but they said it was CoreTrust-like, not VPN related

zenith edge
#

oh ok

full steeple
stable meteor
#

I’m tempted to update for the team, but I was hoping I could stay on 17.0 for CoreTrust boogaloo on my 14 Pro

full steeple
#

As minimuxer implimentation is kinda bad for heartbeat

stable meteor
#

@native aspen with that i’d say give it a few goes I guess, and maybe try another WiFi if you can.

native aspen
full steeple
#

I’ll ask around if users can use it on 17.0.2

#

To see if it’s not everyone

stable meteor
#

Wrong pairing file would explain the consistency of failure

zenith edge
#

does this error mean that the device cannot interact with the server

stable meteor
#

It means the device cannot interact with itself

zenith edge
#

ok

stable meteor
#

heartbeat is us talking to the device

#

Or well, device supposed to be talking to us

zenith edge
#

could be that the ops internet company blocked the server or smth

stable meteor
#

Your device is talking to itself here

zenith edge
#

ohhh

stable meteor
#

SideStore is forcing iOS to talk to itself, or simply SideStore is talking to iOS, and iOS isn’t listening

zenith edge
#

probably would be better to downgrade to ios 17

stable meteor
#

We’ve gotta investigate changes anyway, plus Riley’ll be panicking too i’m sure

#

We’ll see

zenith edge
#

i mean most people are having issues in ios 17

stable meteor
#

I’m thinking a lot are pairing file errors

#

Though it could be something else

#

We wanna investigate

native aspen
zenith edge
#

could also be because of the chip

#

dk why

twin badger
#

Doubtful, my 14 Pro is also exhibiting this behaviour on 17.0.1 (which is fundamentally the same code but for non-15 devices)

stable meteor
twin badger
#

Give me instructions and I'll help ya

#

@full steeple You gotta look at these logs

twin badger
#

I've tried pairing reset

stable meteor
#

@storm saffron @bronze mauve

stable meteor
twin badger
#

Never used jitterbugpair

stable meteor
#

?

#

SideServer?

#

How did you get your pairing file?

twin badger
#

Should I do a reinstall from sideserver is that what you're saying?

stable meteor
# twin badger Should I do a reinstall from sideserver is that what you're saying?

macOS or Windows? If you’re on Windows:

  1. Download AltServer
    https://altstore.io
  2. Download jitterbugpair
    https://github.com/osy/Jitterbug/releases
  3. Open AltServer while holding shift on Windows or Alt on Mac, it should show “sideload ipa” select your device and choose SideStore’s ipa file
  4. Open jitterbugpair, it should create a pairing file next to itself, send that profile to your device (Don’t use Discord or Google Drive, they mess up the file extension, so zip it first if you do use these but DO NOT SEND THEM ANYWHERE PUBLIC)
  5. Open SideStore, it’ll ask for that pairing file you sent, if you zipped it, make sure to unzip it in iOS
twin badger
#

Macos

stable meteor
twin badger
#

So I shouldn't try to reinstall through sideserver?

stable meteor
#

Just for now

twin badger
#

I've never had to use jitterbugpair before

stable meteor
#

To rule out everything

twin badger
#

And sideserver can't do it? Must be AltServer?

full steeple
#

It’s precautionary

#

Sideserver can pair and stuff

#

just want you to try altserver

stable meteor
#

I wanna see if jitterbugpair fails, if not i’ll have questions maybe. AltServer doesn’t do the pairing file automatically, so it helps us debug further

full steeple
#

If pairing is different I wouldn’t be surprised

#

But it’s likely fine

#

Never know tho

twin badger
#

Sure

stable meteor
twin badger
#

Install JitterbugLite.ipa using shift+install ipa, then run jitterbugpair on my mac?

stable meteor
#

Nahh jitterbugpair for macOS

full steeple
#

No the jitterbugpair.dmg then install to Mac

stable meteor
#

That’s all you need

#

We just use jitterbugpair because it’s easier, we should probably fix SideServer to do it for us..

twin badger
#

Dmg?

stable meteor
#

Though I wanna make sure SideServer has a manual pairing mode for debugging

twin badger
#

It's an executable no?

stable meteor
#

It might just be an exe

twin badger
#

Lmao, exe

stable meteor
#

jitterbugpair-macos or something

twin badger
#

I'm a software engineer

stable meteor
twin badger
#

I can run binaries on macos

stable meteor
#

Oh not ToS, hehe

#

Good

twin badger
#

Just need to know what you want me to run

stable meteor
#

jitterbugpair for sure with your iPhone plugged in

#

You might also want Console later

twin badger
#

SUCCESS: wrote to <udid?>.mobiledevicepairing

#

oh, open it in sidestore, right

stable meteor
#

Yeah, sorry hehe

twin badger
#

how do i get sidestore to ask for the pairing file?

stable meteor
#

Install it with AltServer

twin badger
#

ooooh

#

that's why you want altserver

#

gotcha

stable meteor
#

Yeah, hehe

twin badger
#

you know this is wasting one of my app ids

#

😂

stable meteor
#

SideServer mangling the app id incorrectly?

twin badger
#

but i'll do it, just for you guys

#

no i mean, installing ipa from altserver will install the widget as well and consume an extra app id

stable meteor
#

Ohh. You could extract the ipa and delete AltWidget

twin badger
#

no time, this is important!

#

(it doesn't really matter)

stable meteor
#

hehe, it is important!

#

I coulda waited, but this is life or death my friend

full steeple
twin badger
stable meteor
#

You know what I know, it’s not entirely wrong

#

No, try the normal one from Github or the one in #announcements

#

MDC is only for MDC devices, 17.0.1 is not that

stable meteor
twin badger
#

took from announcements, already installed, you're too slow

stable meteor
#

I’m working from my phone, i’m going as fast as I can angery

full steeple
stable meteor
#

hehe

#

Suspense is killing me.

twin badger
#

fuck, forgot to start wireguard profile

stable meteor
#

If it’s only user error i’ll point and laugh at you, but only for a little bit

twin badger
#

oh, no its up

#

resigned successfully

stable meteor
#

Try installing another app

twin badger
#

i just did

#

resigned apollo

stable meteor
#

Oh nice! 17.0.1 is safe

twin badger
#

something did happen though

stable meteor
#

Show?

twin badger
#

no like

#

nothing happened now

full steeple
#

I wonder what would happen if you update to 17.0.2 💀

twin badger
#

17.0.2 doesn't exist for 14 pro

stable meteor
twin badger
#

but i've not had issues signing stuff previously, only after 17.0.1 update

full steeple
#

Oh I forgot 17.0.1 came out same day

#

For others

stable meteor
#

17.0->17.0.1 might’ve needed a new pairing file

twin badger
#

yeah 17.0.1 security content is the same as 17.0.2

#

@stable meteor that's what im thinking

stable meteor
#

My new guess is security updates invalidate all pairing files

twin badger
#

so thanks for walking me through it, never done it before

#

(i can extrapolate the bits i don't need to do next time)

stable meteor
twin badger
#

but it appears sidestore couldn't create its own

#

so the reset pairing file button didn't do anything

#

or i mean it did something, it just didn't work

stable meteor
twin badger
#

why can't it just be march 6th 2024 already

stable meteor
#

Heh, we’ll see how they implement it

#

I won’t get my hopes up

twin badger
#

i'm worried they're gonna still require app review and official signatures, just "ok, good, now feel free to distribute this however you like"

#

but definitely crossing my fingers for a different implementation

twin badger
stable meteor
#

Yep!

twin badger
#

or will that be gone once i've resigned it from sidestore once?

stable meteor
#

Nope!

#

It’s a SideServer + SideStore wombo issue

twin badger
#

that includes sidestore ipa updates installed without sideserver?

#

but not if the initial install is from altserver?

stable meteor
#

SideServer embeds it into the Info.plist, meaning SideStore will always have it even after refreshing unless we add code to remove it from the Info.plist. SideStore from AltServer doesn’t have it embedded and stores it in Files > SideStore where you could delete it too.

twin badger
#

perfect

#

(for me)

stable meteor
#

If you use Xcode, I assumed that’d make sense, hehe

twin badger
#

i don't, i'm a c# developer

#

but i understand stuff

stable meteor
#

Woah! With a Mac?? Rare

#

hehe

twin badger
#

absolutely not

stable meteor
#

Game dev?

twin badger
#

c# is open source since dotnetcore

#

nah, web

stable meteor
#

Oh I didn’t know that

#

Well if you ever wanna learn iOS development, could always look at SideStore, hehe.

twin badger
#

well the frontend is usually react i guess, but i build my backends in c# on dotnet 7

#

haha

#

i have wanted to, infact i have tried actually

#

just not for long enough to actually get it

#

might try my hand at it again some time

#

built a little demo for a customer to streamline a process for them

stable meteor
#

Yeah, it’s a rough entry, but if you need help us devs can help get you started in #off-topic ! I’m planning on doing a rewrite anyway soon, hopefully.. Whenever motivation turns up

twin badger
#

but they didn't want to pay for the development of the actual app in the end

#

so, no paid ios dev learning experience for me haha

stable meteor

#

We should be tracking the iOS version last used with SideStore and then reset the pairing file if it changes

#

And also, we need to get rid of ALTPairingFile in info.plist

#

not sure if i understand how to load the profile into sidestore

#

ziped it and sent it over through my gmail

#

downloaded and unzip in files app

#

opened side store clicked the plus button on my apps page. Dosent let me select the profile

#

im on 17.02 side store 0.5.1

long cove
#

@minor berry

storm saffron
#

'Reset pairing file' in settings

#

if that doesn't work rename it to ALTPairingFile.mobiledevicepairing and put it in the SideStore directory in Files

You know, it would be really nice if this team had any bit of transparency in it. Now because i had 0 idea this would be an issue, i ended up resetting and restoring to 17.0.2 from 17.1B1 this morning and now on top of how useless sidestore was before, it's now rendered truly useless. Known issue, absolutely no announcement or warning. abyss And no, the workarounds listed here didn't work one bit.

storm saffron
#

Transparency has little to do with this. I'd argue we are pretty transparent though, especially when compared to apps like AltStore

#

I also don't see what you downgrading has to do with anything

full steeple
#

Part of problem is also users not reading the issue they have so they make essentially spam messages and have to mention it’s a duplicate issue which is very time consuming. We work on our free time in this project as we don’t use sidestore as a full time job like Riley in altstore team. Community maintained which also means people outside of us can also fix issues if it has not been fixed. We are investigating other issues also which can take good amount of time also.

#

Just to confirm, there’s no good solution yet? Tried to install sideserver on my brother’s 15 pro using my mac, got the instproxy error.

storm saffron
#

did you follow the instructions to generate a new pairing file?

#

that and not having wireguard enabled are the two causes AFAIK

#

both easily fixable

Let me scroll back up and try to find it. I don’t see it pinned unfortunately
