Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/734

Describe the bug

The built-in LiveContainer+SideStore doesn't recognize applications from the official source. I suspect there should be a separate source for the LiveContainer+SideStore version so that the update doesn't install the version without SideStore.

Instructions to reproduce

  1. Install LiveContainer+SideStore
  2. Run built-in SideStore
  3. Add LiveConatiner source (stable or nightly)

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

3.6.0 LiveContainer+SideStore, 18.6 iOS

Other info

No response

^ Thanks for the bump - I've been making my own personal LiveContainer + SideStore source with a few modifications (see the README for source code). I've just made a few new sources to accompany them. Here's all of them:

  • src.json offers the latest LiveContainer + SideStore nightly, modified to have latest SideStore nightly with LiveContainer changes (+ my own change to get rid of the official SideStore source and replace it with this source)
  • official_nightly.json offers the latest LiveContainer + SideStore nightly, with no modifications (so it still uses the out-of-date SideStore nightly)
  • stable.json offers the latest LiveConainer + SideStore stable, modified to have latest SideStore stable with LiveContainer changes (built as a nightly so it also includes support for AltSources directly in LiveContainer)
  • official_stable.json offers the latest LiveContainer + SideStore stable, with no modifications (so it still uses the out-of-date SideStore nightly)

Would be great to see official LC+SS sources though. Makes my life easier!

The ss+lc source is https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/releases/download/1.0/apps_ss_lc.json and it's automatically applied to new ss+lc setups.

For existing ss+lc setup, you'll need to update to latest nightly manually, tap lc's version number 5 times, scroll down and tap "Nuke SideStore" to reset SideStore's database so you can receive nightly and stable updates from built-in sidestore. You'll need to reinstall your sidestore apps in sidestore to make them appear.
