AltStore & SideStore with StikDebug — Enable JIT on iOS 17.4-26

AltStore and SideStore are the most popular ways to sideload apps on iOS without a paid developer account. StikDebug v2.3.7 works with both to enable JIT for emulators like Dolphin, PPSSPP, PojavLauncher, UTM and more. The App Store build was removed in January 2026—use the AltSource from GitHub or sideload the IPA.

StikDebug vs AltJIT vs SideStore Built-in JIT

  • StikDebug — On-device JIT for iOS 17.4-26. One-time iloader 1.5 pairing, 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 Wi‑Fi network each time you launch. Good if you always have a PC nearby.
  • SideStore JIT — SideStore 0.6.2+ includes built-in JIT when connected to LocalDevVPN. Limited app support on some iOS versions and not fully on iOS 26 yet.

StikDebug is recommended because it needs only a one-time computer pairing, 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.
