iOS 26 Sideloading Guide: Remove the 3-App Limit Without Jailbreak

iOS 26 Sideloading: Remove the 3-App Limit

Apple restricts sideloading on iOS to just three apps per Apple ID, making it difficult to install multiple tweaked or third-party apps. With iOS 26+, Apple has also increased certificate revocations, causing many enterprise-signed apps to stop working frequently.

Thankfully, there is a reliable solution.

Using SideStore and LiveContainer, you can completely bypass Apple’s 3-app limit and run unlimited IPA apps on your iPhone or iPad — no jailbreak required. This method works with a free Apple ID and is fully compatible with iOS 15 and newer, including iOS 26+.

Instead of installing apps traditionally, LiveContainer runs them inside a secure container, allowing only one signed app to count toward Apple’s limit while giving you access to unlimited apps.

This guide explains how it works, why it’s safe, and how to set it up step by step on iOS 26.

How SideStore + LiveContainer Bypass the Limit

LiveContainer is an on-device IPA launcher that works together with SideStore to avoid Apple’s app limits.

Instead of installing apps normally:

  • Apps run inside LiveContainer
  • Only one signed app counts toward Apple’s limit
  • You can run unlimited IPAs without re-installing

Key Benefits

  • ✅ No jailbreak required
  • ✅ No enterprise certificates
  • ✅ No app revokes
  • ✅ Works with a free Apple ID
  • ✅ On-device re-signing
  • ✅ Supports multiple versions of the same app

When JIT (Just-In-Time) or JIT-less mode is enabled, apps can run without traditional code signing.

Important Security Notice

Only use the official open-source LiveContainer.

Some closed-source clones exist, and they may:

  • Access all apps inside LiveContainer
  • Read keychain data
  • Access saved logins and credentials

Always use trusted builds to protect your data.
