Currently SparseBox allow more app limit. I want to have more LiveContainer if that is possible.

Multiple LiveContainers is already added since 3.0. You can find it in Settings.

I mean more than 2. Currently there could only be 2 live containers. Is it possible to have more than 2?

Ah sorry I missed that. Currently, you can install more by using multiple Apple IDs (though you have to move apps there since they’re not shared)

What do you mean it not shared? Currently I am using 2 Apple ID and when I switch between the two account on the same SideStore the apps are shared this is why I could not found a way to sideload 2 live container.

Can you elaborate a little more on how to do it? I mean like should I get 2 SideStore side by side? If I do, I will have to turn developer mode on both ICloud account which is inconvenient.

I am just not sure what you mean. Thank you.

I figured it out. When you login into your other Apple ID you must click okay to revoke to second SideStore to be installed. Thank you.

You don’t need to install multiple SideStores or logout. You can install SideStore in LiveContainer and switch account by switching data container.

Sir, I tried this before and just now. It doesn't work because I cannot open any file. SideStore needs paring file to work but apps open by LiveContainer cannot open files.

I was able to fixed the issue with not opening app. However when you try to login. It says "Failed to login"
"No valid Server found"

With sparse restore you can install unlimited apps, so LiveContainer is not very useful if you already have Sparsebox installed.

Also, having more than 2 LiveContainer is pretty useless if you are on iOS 18.1b2+, which LiveContainer is more focused on.

That's a Sidestore issue, you need to switch server in SideStore settings -> Anisette servers

Maybe you can add an option to treat a sidestore instance as an old app instead, to get around old apps having the wrong resolution? Said it before in the ABE one, could put it here for a possible consideration

You can get a functional LiveContainer3 if you choose to edit the plist in the LiveContainer2 IPA to be 3, LiveContainer will autolaunch with the priority 3>2>1 for shared apps when there's a LC3 installed even if its not official (The PLIST includes the existence of 3 on 1 so modifying 2 to be 3 works without modifying 1).

The best solution would be official, but this works temporarily if only looking for 3 (4 is theoretically possible but it would take more work because the info needed to add 3 is already in 1)

Thanks for the info! However, I figured out that if you change bundle identifier you can have unlimited LiveContainer. I am not sure if this breaks anything but This is what I have been using for the past 3 months and have no problems. I was able to change the bundle identifier through Esign.
