• LiveContainer is an app launcher (not emulator or hypervisor) that allows you to run iOS apps inside it.
• Allows you to install unlimited apps (3 app/10 app id free developer account limit does not apply here) with only one app & app id. You can also have multiple versions of an app installed with multiple data containers.
• When JIT is available, codesign is entirely bypassed, no need to sign your apps before installing. Otherwise, your app will be signed with the same certificate used by LiveContainer.

• iOS/iPadOS 15+
  • Multitasking requires iOS/iPadOS 16.0+
• AltStore 2.0+ / SideStore 0.6.0+

• It is recommended to setup JIT-Less mode, in which LiveContainer signs your apps with your certificate from AltStore/SideStore (see the instructions below).

These steps can be bypassed if you don't mind enabling JIT for your app every time, but it is not recommended. Without JIT, guest apps need to be codesigned, which requires retrieving the certificate and password from AltStore/SideStore.

• Open Settings in LiveContainer
• Tap "Import Certificate from AltStore/SideStore"
• AltStore/SideStore will be opened and ask if you want to export the certificate. If you don't see the prompt, keep AltStore/SideStore open in the background and tap "Import Certificate from AltStore/SideStore" again.
• Press "Export" in SideStore or set a password and export in AltStore
• Tap "JIT-Less Mode Diagnose" and tap "Test JIT-Less Mode"
• If it says "JIT-Less Mode Test Passed", you are good to go!

• Open LiveContainer, tap the plus icon in the upper right hand corner and select IPA files to install.
• Choose the app you want to open in the next launch.
• You can long-press the app to manage it.

Long press the app and you will see 2 ways to add your app to home screen:

1. Launch URL: Copy the provided URL, create a shortcut that opens the app, and add it to your home screen. You’ll need to create a separate shortcut for each app.
2. Create App Clip: Install an App Clip MDM profile, which adds the app to your home screen. Note that launching the app includes an extra jump, and the App Clip will remain in the app switcher.

Using two LiveContainers allows you to run two different apps simultaneously, with almost seamless data transfer between the LiveContainers.

To install a second LiveContainer, go to Settings and tap "Install Another LiveContainer."

The first LiveContainer (blue icon) always launches by default. If an app is already running in the first container, you'll be prompted to either open it in the second LiveContainer (gray icon) or terminate the current app and relaunch it in the first. If the app is already running in the second container, it will switch automatically. To use an app in the second container, you must convert this app to a shared app. You can do that by opening the first LiveContainer (blue), long press on your app, open the settings of your app and then "Convert to Shared App". After that, you can launch your app using LiveContainer2 (grey).

You can now launch multiple apps simultaneously in in-app virtual windows. These windows can be resized, scaled, and even displayed using the native Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature. On iPads, apps can run in native window mode, displaying each app in a separate system window. And if you wish, you can choose to run apps in multitasking mode by default in settings.

To use multitasking:

1. Convert the app you want to multitask into a shared app.
2. Hold its banner and tap "Multitask".

Some apps may experience issues with their file pickers or not be able to apply for notification permission in LiveContainer. To resolve this, enable "Fix File Picker" & "Fix Local Notifications" accordingly in the app-specific settings.
