Help/Support Do Sideloadly exported IPAs only work with Sideloadly?

saulin · July 22, 2022

Ok I just downloaded a random IPA from iosninja, UTM v2.0.16. I will first sign it normally and install it and then try to add IGG with Sideloadly to it and see if it fails. The Subway Surfer IPA I got it from IOSGods.

**Edit**

Same result. It's not the original IPA, it's the modified IPA that always fails.

UTM signed and installed fine. When I modified it with Sideloadly, it failed to sign

However, it will sign and will install if using Sideloadly

Mmmm I wish Sideloadly would add support to sign with your own cert and profile

It's failing at this step from what I can see on the log from SignTools

And the error from appdb is

Seems to be related to CydiaSubstrate. If you're just injecting iGameGod, you can untick the CydiaSubstrate option.

We'll investigate as to why this is happening!

came to answer but seems Rook has beaten us all to the chase

It seems that the modified app from Sideloadly works fine if signed and installed with E-Sign with the same certificate

So I guess exported apps do work with other tools. For some reason it fails with SignTools and AppDB though

Rook · July 27, 2022

@saulin

Could you try the new Sideloadly update and report back?

Hodo · July 27, 2022

Update: a new update to sideloadly has pushed out to fix errors and conflicts with other signers for exported ipa files. Try again now and see how it goes

Working fine now

SignTools is able to sign and install the IPA with injected deb and cydia substrate exported by Sideloadly and igg is loading with the game
