Sideloadly by iOSGods

Developed by iOSGods, Sideloadly is a sideload utility for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It is a minimalistic Cydia Impactor alternative that comes with a clean user interface and powerful new features. Currently, Sideloadly only supports the Windows operating system. However, macOS support is planned.

Features

  • Supports free or paid Apple Developer accounts

  • Ability to remove restriction on supported devices

  • Ability to change the bundle ID to allow multiple/duplicate app installs

  • UIFileSharingEnabled option

  • URL Scheme to easily download and sideload an IPA directly from the web

Enterprise Certificates

Applications downloaded using Enterprise Certificates can be revoked randomly. As Apple continues to tighten rules for enterprise app ceriticates, often these certificates are revoked everyday, other times they can last for over 3 months. The following sites all use Enterprise Certificates to sign apps to your device for free.

  • appdb (allows you to easily reinstall all revoked apps with one button from IPA Cache)

  • Tweakbox

  • iOSEmus
