Where do I trust a sideloaded app on iPhone?

Open Settings → General → VPN & Device Management (or Device Management on older iOS). Under Developer App, select your Apple ID or the app entry, then tap Trust.

Why does iPhone say Untrusted Developer after sideloading?

Apps signed with a personal or enterprise certificate are blocked until you explicitly trust that developer profile on the device. This is normal for sideloaded apps.

I trusted the developer but the app still won't open

The signing certificate may be revoked or expired. Refresh the app in SideStore, reinstall with iLoader, or follow the fix revoked certificate guide.

Trust Sideloaded App (Untrusted Developer) on iPhone

When you first open a sideloaded app, iOS may show Untrusted Developer. You must trust the signing profile once per Apple ID (or enterprise profile) on that device.

Steps on iPhone or iPad

Open Settings.
Tap General.
Tap VPN & Device Management (on some versions this appears as Device Management or Profiles & Device Management).
Under Developer App, tap the entry that matches your Apple ID or the app you installed.
Tap Trust “…” and confirm.
Return to the Home Screen and open the app again.

If you do not see a profile

Confirm the app finished installing (check the home screen).
Try opening the app once so iOS registers the developer entry.
On iOS 16+, ensure Developer Mode is enabled.

Still broken after trusting?

The certificate may be revoked or the app may need a refresh:

Fix revoked certificate
Unable to verify app / integrity
Refresh SideStore apps
