Depending on your method, when transferring your .mobiledevicepariring file, the file extension might change (usually to .txt or cropping off the "ing"). It is always recommended to zip your pairing file before transferring it. SideStore only accepts .mobiledevicepairing files (or .plist files in older versions).

114
-
5. JitterbugPair will generate a **pairing file** in the same folder. This file will have the extension `.mobiledevicepairing`.
115
