LiveContainer is a SideStore-related project that lets you run additional apps inside a container app, which helps advanced users work around the tight app limits on free Apple accounts. Setup and compatibility evolve with iOS and SideStore—always follow the latest upstream docs.
Why people use LiveContainer
- Apple’s free developer signing only allows a few concurrently installed sideloaded apps.
- LiveContainer can host multiple “guest” apps under one main install, so you use fewer home-screen slots for signing.
- Not every IPA works inside a container; games and apps with strict entitlements may fail.
Typical setup path
- Install and trust SideStore using iLoader (see Windows or Mac guides).
- Install LiveContainer from a reputable SideStore source (see safe sources).
- Configure pairing and refresh as usual—see pairing files and refresh.
- Use LiveContainer’s UI to add IPAs it supports; expect trial and error for compatibility.
iLoader’s role
iLoader focuses on device connection, signing, and installing SideStore (and IPAs). Recent releases improve workflows that matter for SideStore users, including pairing file handling mentioned in the download notes. For LiveContainer-specific behavior, rely on SideStore and LiveContainer maintainers’ documentation.
