Sideloading on Linux

LukeeGD edited this page Sep 16, 2024 · 10 revisions

Sideloading on Linux can be a confusing task for new users, especially since the conventional tools like AltServer and Sideloadly are not available.

Because of this, Legacy iOS Kit provides the Sideload IPA option on the main menu of the Linux versions. This way, users can easily sideload apps to their devices with their Apple IDs.

There is also another option for sideloading on Linux that has a GUI: Dadoum's Sideloader. For more details on sideloading, go to Jailbreaking#sideload-method

Requirements

  • Device must be on iOS 9 or newer
  • Apple ID
  • IPA to sideload to device

Usage

  1. Run Legacy iOS Kit: ./restore.sh
  2. Select "Sideload IPA" option
  3. Select an IPA, then select Install IPA.
  4. When the "Trust this Computer" pop-up shows on the device, select "Trust."
  5. Enter your Apple ID and password. Your Apple ID and password will only be sent to Apple servers.
  6. Enter two factor authentication code if required.
  7. Done! Your selected IPA should be sideloaded successfully to the device.
    • Do not forget to trust the app by going to Settings -> General -> Profiles/Device Management
