⚠️This version ⚠️REQUIRES⚠️ SideStore 0.6.0+ / AltStore 2.0+ to install.

[!Note] We recommend using SideStore 0.6.2-20250420.25+ or AltStore 2.2.1+ to import your certificate directly, without needing to apply a patch when setting up JIT-Less mode.

After two months of development, we're proud to announce the release of LiveContainer 3.5.0! This update brings powerful new features like multitasking and better ADP certificate support, along with several bug fixes, improvements, and new language translations.

Multitasking

One of LiveContainer’s main limitations has been the inability to open more than one app at a time. Our new multitasking feature addresses that.

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".

[!Note]

1. To use multitasking, ensure you select "Keep Extension" when installing via SideStore/AltStore.
2. Most common apps are compatible, but some may have issues.
3. If you want to enable JIT for multitasked apps, you’ll need a JIT enabler that supports attaching by PID — coming soon in StikDebug.

ADP Certificate Support

LiveContainer now officially supports ADP development certificates. Thanks to PR #537 by @SoY0ung, LiveContainer uses the app group included in your .mobileprovision file, rather than hard-coded SideStore/AltStore app groups. This unlocks multitasking and other features.

[!Note]

1. Only development certificates are supported.
2. To use multitasking, your .mobileprovision must contain at least one app group.
3. To enable keychain separation, LiveContainer must be signed with all 128 required keychain access groups.
4. We recommend changing LiveContainer's bundle ID to match the application-identifier in your .mobileprovision.

iOS 26 Liquid Glass Support

Although LiveContainer is currently built with iOS 18.2 SDK, we include an option to enable Liquid Glass for LiveContainer's UI if you have upgraded to iOS 26. You can find this option in iOS Settings-> Apps -> LiveContainer -> enable Liquid Glass.

Improvements

• Optimized app launching process for faster startup:
  • No longer moves shared app data to a private folder.
  • Uses a new method to override the main executable path, avoiding SIGSEGV signal handlers.
  • Removed app lock and use container lock only.
• Added .tipa support (#467). Note: this allows installing .tipa files, but does not mean the app will run properly without correct entitlements.
• You can now search for apps in the app list.
• Renamed StikJIT (Standalone) to StikDebug.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed #200 by directly setting dyld.config.process.mainExecutablePath to app's real main executable path, ensuring _NSGetExecutablePath returns the correct value.
• Fixed #326 by correcting an error in Info.plist. Note: HealthKit entitlements are still required to access health data.
• Alleviate #423 by avoiding dyld library validation bypass on signed apps, which otherwise prevents apps that requires JIT from executing JIT pages on A15+
• Fixed #478 by moving the JIT enabling window to LCAppListView.
• Fixed #476 by updating ZSign.
• Fixed #497 by resolving an issue in dyld library validation bypass.
• Fixed iOS 16.2 (#495) and iOS 18.4+ on iPad 7 (#531).
• Fixed #518 by sending KVO notifications when UsedDefaults is changed.
• Fixed #582 by invalidating duplicate library load commands.

Deprecated Features

SideStore/AltStore Patching

With SideStore 0.6.2-20250420.25 and AltStore 2.2.1 both supporting certificate export, patching these stores is no longer necessary. This feature is now deprecated and will be removed in the next major release.

Shout out to @khanhduytran0 for doing a lot of research under the hood which made the multitasking feature possible! Great thanks to @neoarz for providing us certificates so we can test support for ADP certificate!
