Sideload Frequently Asked Questions

How long will I be able to use the sideloaded app?

:- A normal & free Apple Developer account only allows the app to function for 7 days. After 7 days you can sideload it again using the same Apple ID, just make sure your progress is backed up. A paid Apple Developer Account can last up to 1 year.

How can I save my in-game progress?

:- You need to make sure your game progress is being synced over Game Center, Facebook, Twitter or Google+. If the game saves it’s progress locally, you will need to install the modded IPA overwriting the one you already have installed. In order to overwrite, the modified IPA must have the same bundle ID and you must use the same Apple ID when sideloading. See below for more information.

Can I overwrite my current app without removing it?

:- Yes, it is possible. In order to accomplish this, you need to sideload the modded IPA with the same Apple ID that your previously sideloaded app is with. Meaning you must use the same Apple ID you used to sideload the previous app. The bundle ID must be the same otherwise it will install as a duplicate app.

How many apps can I sideload?

:- iOS 7, 8, 9: You can sideload as many apps as you like on your device. However, your free developer account has limitations but you can easily bypass those limitations by creating a new Apple ID. On iOS 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and higher, you can only have 3 sideloaded apps installed on your device at the same time. Apple has limited this and will not allow any more for free Apple Developer accounts. A paid Apple Developer Account does not have such limitations.

Why can’t I restore my Game Center game progress after sideloading?

:- With the latest iOS versions, Apple has prevented users from sideloading apps that have the same bundle ID as an App Store app. In order to sideload on the latest iOS versions, we are forced to set a unique bundle ID and in doing so, Game Center does not recognize the app, therefore, will not prompt you to restore your save.

Sideloadly does not show my device?

:- If this happens, try rebooting your PC, open up iTunes while your device is connected & make sure you tap on ‘Trust’ from the popup on your iDevice. Then open Sideloadly. If this does not help, connect your device and make sure it is recognized by your PC/iTunes then open Sideloadly. You can also try completely uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes.

Does Sideloadly support iOS 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14?

:- Sideloadly should support iOS 7 up to iOS 14. However, it was only tested by us on iOS 10 and higher.

How can I use an app-specific Password?

:- App-specific passwords partially works via Sideloadly. App-specific password can only work if you untick the anisette option in Sideloadly.

Which Windows version does Sideloadly support?

:- Sideloadly should work on Windows 7, 8 & 10. For the best results, Windows 10 is suggested.

How do I fix “2FA Requested the second time”?

:- Please see this helpful post made by a member here. We’ve also been informed that if you create a new Apple ID via iTunes on PC, you can skip the 2FA requirement.

How do I fix “error ‘machineName’”?

:- A few members have reported that changing your computer’s name helps. Search for “computer name” or “machine name” from the start menu.
