    LiveContainer 3.7.0

    Warning

    The standalone version requires SideStore 0.6.2+ or AltStore 2.2.1+ for installation.
    We recommend installing LiveContainer + SideStore using Impactor or iloader. See our installation guide for details.

    Happy Spring Festival / Lunar New Year! After six months of development, we’re excited to release LiveContainer 3.7.0. This update introduces several powerful new features, including the Launch App Shortcut, iOS 26 JIT script support, external containers, native icon generation, and more.

    New Features

    Launch App Shortcut

    Note

    This feature requires LiveContainer to be installed with at least the LaunchAppExtension and LaunchAppExtensionHelper extension. iOS 16+ is supported.

    A new extension allows apps to launch instantly without opening the LiveContainer main interface (for apps that are not locked, hidden, or JIT-required). Once configured, the shortcut prepares the runtime environment and selects an available LiveContainer instance to launch the app directly.

    This reduces extra relaunches and jumps and typically saves 1~2 seconds per launch.

    See the setup guide for instructions.

    JIT

    Support for iOS 26 JIT scripts has been added by @Vishram1123. Scripts can be configured in app-specific settings and loaded automatically on iOS 26+.

    The “StikDebug in another LiveContainer” option has been fixed, allowing StikDebug to run within LiveContainer. When launching a JIT-required app, LiveContainer will automatically detect StikDebug, launch it in an available container, and pass all required parameters — including scripts — to enable JIT.

    In addition, when enabling JIT for multitasked app, LiveContainer will prioritize launching StikDebug as a multitask app to save app slot usage. (TODO: this doesn’t automatically minimize StikDebug after enabling JIT, might be added later)

    Be sure to convert StikDebug into a shared app before use.

    External Containers

    Note

    Containers stored on external media (portable drives, SMB shares, etc.) are unsupported by many apps and may cause instability or crashes.

    You can now use external folders as app containers. This is useful if you want to manage app data through a file manager while still accessing it in LiveContainer, or if you want maintain container access when an app is shared.

    To configure this, open:

    App-Specific Settings → Select External Data Folder

    Native Icons

    LiveContainer now generates icons using native iOS libraries. On iOS 18+, this enables proper Light, Dark, and Original (Liquid Glass) icon rendering. These icons can also be saved for home screen shortcuts.

    Multitasking Improvements

    • Added “Skip app terminate screen” (by @boa-z)
    • Added ”Single Window Mode” to minimize other apps when a maximized app is brought to front
    • Launch URL schemes can now be passed to multitasking apps. Passing URL between multitask apps can be controlled via ”Redirect URL to Host” switch
    • Launching Private Apps is now possible. By default, apps launched with private container is only given sandbox access to its own data container folder. You can change it in developer settings.
    • Changed animations a little bit

    AltStore Source Support

    Basic AltSource support has been implemented by @StephenDev0. Sources can be added using:

    livecontainer://sources?url=<URL>

    Other Additions

    • App remarks are now supported (by @WingCH)
    • Decrypted apps can now be installed via itms-services links (by @WingCH)
