AltStore & SideStore with StikDebug – Enable JIT for Sideloaded Apps

AltStore and SideStore are the most popular ways to sideload apps on iOS without a paid developer account. StikDebug works with both to enable JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation for emulators like Dolphin, PPSSPP, and apps like PojavLauncher. This guide explains how they work together.

StikDebug vs AltJIT vs SideStore Built-in JIT

  • StikDebug – On-device JIT. One-time iloader setup, then works anywhere. No computer or Wi‑Fi needed after setup. Best for most users.
  • AltJIT – Requires AltStore Classic and your computer on the same network. Good if you always have a PC nearby.
  • SideStore JIT – SideStore 0.6.2+ has built-in JIT. Connect to LocalDevVPN. Limited app support on some iOS versions.

StikDebug is recommended because it requires only a one-time computer setup, then works entirely on-device for future JIT activations.

Using StikDebug with AltStore

  1. Install AltStore and sideload StikDebug (add StikDebug source or use IPA from our Download page)
  2. Follow our Installation Guide to set up iloader and create a pairing file
  3. Sideload your target apps (Dolphin, PPSSPP, etc.) via AltStore
  4. Open StikDebug, connect, and enable JIT for each app

Using StikDebug with SideStore

SideStore is a fork of AltStore with wireless refresh and other features. StikDebug works the same way: install StikDebug via SideStore, complete iloader pairing, then use StikDebug to enable JIT for your sideloaded emulators and apps.
