Anisette servers you can choose, sign-in that asks less, a Refresh that keeps your apps as they are, and SideStore's remote pairing for iOS 17.4 and later. Please report problems in Issues, with the logs attached (Logs, ⌘L / Ctrl+L), or ask on Discord.

Updating

IPAForge 0.1.0-alpha.5 updates itself to this version when it opens: your Apple IDs, apps and settings stay. On a Mac with Apple silicon the update is the Apple silicon build, even if you installed the Intel one.

What's new

  • Anisette servers in Settings: IPAForge picks a working server by itself (the servers you added, SideStore's list, then its own as a backup), or you choose one. Test one or all, update SideStore's list, and add your own, a server on your computer included.
  • Remote pairing for SideStore (iOS 17.4 and later): placing the pairing file now also gives SideStore its remote pairing, in a file of its own, and Repair SideStore checks it. SideStore builds from September 20, 2026 can use it.
  • The app's mark next to its name at the top.

Changed

  • Refresh keeps your apps as they are: it never installs another version (that's Update's job). SideStore is installed again over itself, its data kept, so its own screen shows the new date; other apps get a new profile only.
  • Days left are counted as SideStore counts them: a fresh profile says 7 days, not 6.
  • Sign in again uses your saved password and asks only for the code. Checks in the background never ask Apple to send you a code.
  • On launch only the update check runs; your devices and Apple IDs come after.

Fixed

  • After you refuse the keychain prompt once, IPAForge asks again next time, so your Apple IDs are saved once you allow it.
  • The Intel build running on an Apple silicon Mac says so and links to the faster Apple silicon build.
  • Testing an anisette server asks it once, so a server that's down shows "Not responding" at once.

Downloads

System File
macOS, Apple silicon IPAForge-0.1.0-alpha.6-mac-arm64.dmg
macOS, Intel IPAForge-0.1.0-alpha.6-mac-x64.dmg
Windows 10/11 IPAForge-0.1.0-alpha.6-win-x64.exe (or .msi, which doesn't update itself)

You can ignore the .zip, .blockmap and latest*.yml files: they are for automatic updates. Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.txt, and every file has a Sigstore signature (<file>.sigstore.json), which IPAForge also checks before installing an update.

    • IPAForge isn't notarised by Apple yet. Open it once, then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

    • SmartScreen warns about the download: click More info › Run anyway.
