SideInstaller is a free, open-source iOS application that installs SideStore and LiveContainer directly on an iPhone or iPad without conventional desktop installation tools. It handles Apple account authentication, device pairing, provisioning, and application installation through an integrated interface. On iOS 27 and later, the project supports a fully on-device setup workflow. Earlier compatible versions require a pairing file generated through a separate process. Users can install SideStore individually or alongside LiveContainer. The software also accepts custom installation links for downloading IPA files from websites. Additional URL schemes support importing pairing files and signing certificates. Its guided setup minimizes command-line configuration and makes alternative iOS application installation more accessible.
