Help/Support Sideloadly Apple Developer Install with original Bundle ID Not working

Iftat · January 14, 2025

Currently Facing issues with the SideLoadly not able to install an IPA acquired from app.iosgods.com with apple developer account and automatic bundle id option turned off, for GameCenter to work. Seem to running into this with any IPA I try. Below this is currently what I am getting from sideloadly.

You cannot change to the default bundle id, just use .xx even game center will work too

If not then you need to check your developer acc by enabling gamecenter entitlements

So just to clarify are you saying to enable the "Use Automatic Bundle ID" option? I have never done a Sideloadly IPA install with an Apple Developer account until now. I looked through the forms to find out what options I would need enabled prior but wasnt able to. Could I ask for maybe a link to a form that says that should be enabled and done for it to work properly for GameCenter to work and for the IPA to properly Sideload?

Just use default option in Sideloadly. I don't have apple dev account to test gamecenter, but some user said after you sideloaded the app, find that app bundle id in your developer account page and enable the entitlements

Or you can create and export a developer certificate with gamecenter entitlements enabled and then use with Feather app to install app directly on your device

@Rook I was hoping to find out if there are certain requirements that need to be met to enable game center for side loaded ipa's with the apple developer account and Sideloadly? Should certain options be turned on in either the Sideloadly application (on the Mac) or for the Apple Developer account on the apple developer website?

I think you need to enable the entitlement on the developer portal. Might need to search for additional information.

Would it be possible to create a Tutorial on how a user can do it, I've tried doing it on my own but I don't know how to. I dont quite understand how the whole process works cause it doesn't seem to want to work.
