SideStore's installation process may seem tricky, but with the one-time use of a computer and some time, you'll have SideStore on your device!
To install SideStore, you will need:
- An iPhone or iPad with a passcode running iOS/iPadOS 16 or higher
- A Mac, Windows, or Linux (Linux support is experimental) computer
- An Apple ID
- The StosVPN app (see below)
- A Wi-Fi connection
- Some time (This is a quick process, but you should leave time for troubleshooting)
SideStore utilizes an on-device VPN which allows SideStore to communicate with internal services.
- Download the StosVPN app from the Apple App Store.
- Enable the VPN.
This VPN is required to be turned on any time you wish to install, update, or refresh apps in SideStore.
Next, follow the installation instructions for your operating system!
