Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/1179

I'm on iOS 26.3 with an iPhone 13. While using separate SideStore and LiveContainer apps, I suddenly received a notification stating "SideStore is no longer available," and all sideloaded apps showed the same error.

I then performed a fresh install of SideStore but encountered this refresh issue with automation using SideStore alone, as well as with LiveContainer + SideStore. I've used the same automation and shortcut for refreshing for nearly a year, but it suddenly stopped working. (See attached picture for the exact error.)

Troubleshooting steps tried:

Reset privacy permissions and granted "Always Allow" wherever prompted.
Uninstalled and fresh-installed SideStore alone, and LiveContainer + SideStore, multiple times.
Reset the pairing file using iLoader.

I noticed that sometimes when using only SideStore, it still prompts me to "Turn on StosVPN," but as far as I know, StosVPN has been removed from the App Store, is that correct?

The issue does not occur when the phone is unlocked (except on rare occasions), but when the device is locked, the problem happens consistently every time.

I've attached screenshots of all errors encountered during testing in case they help identify the cause.

Your shortcut lacks enabling LocalDevVPN prior to refreshing.

@khanhduytran0 No bro, it has a step to connect to LocalDevVPN. It was working fine until my SideStore stopped working randomly. I'm attaching a screenshot of my shortcut. I can say connecting to the VPN isn't the issue because when this happens, the VPN is still connected, so the shortcut execution stops in between.

Then it is no longer possible to refresh while locked. See https://github.com/SideStore/SideStore/issues/689#issuecomment-2479277383
