How to easily sideload apps on any iPhone using AltStore - No jailbreaking, but some effort is required

Apple’s iPhones are pretty famous for being closed off, with jailbreaking being the only way that most people can imagine for sideloading apps. However, there are other ways to sideload apps onto an iPhone, and the easiest way is through AltStore.

AltStore is, as the name implies, an alternative app store for iOS devices. Made by Riley Testut, it’s the easiest and safest way to sideload apps on your iPad or iPhone. It doesn’t rely on enterprise certificates that Apple has been cracking down on, and instead makes use of a feature Apple introduced that lets you install up to three apps for free using your Apple ID.

AltStore relies on a computer on the same network running AltServer, and you’ll need both iTunes and iCloud installed on that computer, too. AltServer is a companion app that sits and waits for AltStore connections, and apps can only be installed and refreshed via AltServer.
