SideStep Beta 0.2 — installs and keeps iOS apps up to date, now from GitHub Releases directly. Notarized; macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon). (Existing Beta 0.1 installs will offer this update automatically.)

New in 0.2

  • Install from GitHub. Enter a repo (owner/name) and SideStep installs the newest .ipa from its Releases — and remembers it, so the app tracks that repo's latest release.
  • Auto-update from GitHub. A daily sweep (and a "Check GitHub apps for updates now" button) re-installs any tracked app whose repo has a newer release; every push delivers the current latest build.
  • Search GitHub. Search repositories for ones that ship an installable .ipa, and install from the results.
  • Real app icons in the app list (extracted at install, including iOS's CgBI-crushed PNGs).
  • Any two corners now trigger the on-device vitals overlay (was top-left + top-right).
  • Tidier panel: AltStore repo is a dialog, the incomplete "Register a device" button is gone, and the whole Settings label toggles (not just the chevron).
  • SideStep still updates itself from these releases (Check for Updates…), verified by notarization + our Team ID.
