Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/697

Describe the bug

Found when logging in to the built-in SideStore. The version is 3.5.64 (28cc43).

Instructions to reproduce

I tried to log in to my Apple ID in the built-in SideStore and found that it would throw an error that could not determine the UDID of this device after waiting for a long time. I'm not sure whether this conflicts with the existing SideStore.

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

3.5.64 (28cc43) ,iOS26 Public Beta1(23A5297m)

Other info

No response

regenerate pairing file. Not a livecontainer issue

I tried it, but it didn't work at all. The app can't get UDID no matter what.

Then probably try generating the pairing file using jitterbugpair

I had this issue too and only after like 6 attempts it worked. My friend has now this issue too. It's definitely not the pairing file

Maybe try to sign in while trying to sideload an app. It didn‘t work for me in the settings tab, only while trying to sideload

I flashed my mobile phone with a new one, and then re-obtained the paired files. I made various attempts, but it still failed. This is indeed a bug.

@IVBXData did you allow livecontainer to access local network?

All permissions requested by LiveContainer have been fully granted. I have made various attempts, including erasing and flashing all of them, regaining the paired files, reinstalling and replacing the Apple ID. The login still failed and threw an exception that UDID could not be obtained. This is not an exaggeration at all.

Can you try again after switching LiveContainer language back and forth in Settings?

To my surprise, this really worked. What kind of strange solution is this? And, thank you for your answer.

No idea lol, I found it by chance while having the same issue, maybe something network settings desynced and changing language would force it to sync.

In fact, this problem exists in the first built-in SideStore LiveContainer version. It is recommended that you publicly release the solution to this problem or simply fix it in the next snapshot version to avoid more people being troubled by this problem.

Well, it seems that this problem is far from as easy to solve as expected. Due to the startup error of the built-in SideStore (the error message is very long), I reinstalled it. There is also an error (1006) that cannot determine UDID, and this time the method of synchronizing UDID by switching languages is no longer valid. Why did it become like this?

Please send SideStore's log so we can investigate this issue since we cannot reproduce this issue on any of our devices.

You can find built-in sidestore's logs in LiveContainer folder -> SideStore -> Documents -> minimuxer.log and ConsoleLogs

Also, please provide your IP address in your local network (not public IP address, so no privacy concern)

(Although not related, please note that to use SideStore 0.6.2+ you must use StosVPN/StikDebug and setup a password for your device.)

Do you have SideStore/SparseBox running in the background?

I logged out of the original SideStore and found that I could indeed log in. But the original SideStore will flash back directly. Should I delete it?

You can remove the standalone sidestore if you wish. But please be aware that both sidestores cannot be opened at once. You must completely quit one (in app switcher) in order to use another one

Can it self-update through the built-in SideStore?

Yes it can. You can manually update it using IPA as for now as we currently don't have a source for it. But yes you can import the new IPA in the built-in SideStore and it will update itself.

But can't you make LiveContainer search for an update after launch and then install it like LiveContainer2?

@hugeBlack And will you always update the built-in SideStore to the latest nightly build? Or the stable build?
