#no wifi or vpn, pairing file works only for 1 refresh
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
even if I change the pairing it doesn't let me refresh
I'm losing my mind, please help me.
for me, even if i change the pairing file i can refresh around 33% of the time
you arent alone
there are many posts on the same issue
for now, i would just stick to altstore
yes, i hope someone can fix this asap
Same “no WiFi or vpn” problem.
Am abroad without computer and can’t create a new pairing file.
On my iPad it still works. Version 0.5.4
iPhone 0.5.8 and has this issue
Same issue with me too
love how only the members are typing in this SUPPORT FORUM
Imma try deleting all the sidestore files from itunes then delete the app. Reinstall and set it up again
But use the version that works on your ipad and see if it works
(Gotta wait till i get off work)
No I don’t think so
I’m on iPhone 0.5.8 and I’m not having this issue
17.6.1
it was still on 17.5
and on 17.6.0
18 beta build 6 i think it was i had no problems
When I had this problem
I turned off and turned on vpn
But when I switchback to sidestoe
I wait for this notification to disappear
Before I try refreshing
Or
One other thing
?
no
So even if u have vpn it doesn’t work
yes
i did that like 5 times
Oh nah 😭
its pairing file issues
i dont think it has anything to do with the vpn
since when i make a new pairing file
33% of the time i can refresh it once
so its like altstore but takes way longer to refresh
If you have access to your pc
Like all the time
It’s better just to use AltStore
im using altstore right now
but i dont have access to my pc always
im gonna try ios 18 beta
The official iOS 18 is out
oh ye mb
do you still have the issue, if not do you remember the last few things you did before the issue was gone?
didnt fix it
I have ios 18 and the problem has persisted for 2/3 weeks now,
me 2-3 weeks too
I don't understand why this happens, I have an iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 18 and it doesn't work for me, I tried to update the association file but once I opened the file and did everything the association file remains the same, I tried to delete the whole app, the association file is all VPN, but once I downloaded everything it doesn't work again, it tells me "VPN or Wi-Fi"
i dont think this has anything to do with the wifi or vpn
its something with the pairing files
since when i make a new pairing file there is a chance i can refresh it
instead my brother who has ios 17.4 (I think) is fine and can refresh whenever he wants
i have tried multiple ios versions
17.6, 17.6.1 and even ios 18, nothing changed, i even factory reset my iphone
by any chance did your brother make the pairing file on the same pc you did?
bro when i try to create a new association file the letters are the same
its supposed to be like that
thats just your uuid
it doesnt change
yes?
I deleted mine previously
then its probably something else
before I updated it I had other numbers instead of this one
that's why it seemed strange to me that they were the same numbers
if anything that would have helped lmao
its complicated
you updating probably didnt cause the error
since a lot of people have it
reinstall sidestore. setup pairing file
login to apple id. restart phone
setup wireguard
turn on the vpn
keep wireguard in background
then try adding ipas
just worked for me
@worthy sage
17.5.1 im also on this one.
Still not working for me. Tried this in an internet cafe
While I’m abroad
Ir could be their wifi
Oké will try my hotel or any other one later. Thanks!
W
sadly didnt work for me
Hi, wireguard's sidestore config seems to turn off after reinstalling. On-ing it solved my problem
didnt work for me
Bruh now I’m getting this issue
I reinstalled store reset pairing file spammed click refresh with VPN on
But I can’t refresh or install apps
I went back to altstore smh
yo what fixed it for me is setting up sidestore and pairing file either on a virtual machine or a diffirent pc (i know there are some tutorials for using usb through a virtual machine), make sure to spam refresh for around 20 seconds or so, then it works
Well for me everytime i refresh SideStore, i have to generate another pairing file to get it working.
i had that
that is a pc issue
also make sure low batery mode or whatever its called is off
but after all that make sure to spam for like 20 seconds
...What? Really?
I don't use my PC at the time it happened.
All i do is turn on Wireguard VPN, go to Sidestore and refresh Sidestore.
After refreshed, the old pairing file will be invalid.
I use iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18.
i meant your pc made a bad pairing file
diff pc or virtual machine
Same for me
Now things started to work again, don't have to change the PC anymore, it just happened magically.
