Sideloadly!
Sideloadly! is a developer utility for sideloading iOS apps onto iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs without jailbreaking. It serves as a successor to the discontinued Cydia Impactor and allows developers and power users to install custom or unsigned IPA files directly onto their devices using just a Mac or Windows computer. The app handles code signing, app installation and device management — workflows that are normally restricted to the App Store or enterprise distribution channels. It is widely used by iOS modders, beta testers, and developers who need to test apps outside Apple's official distribution system.

1 suggestionSideloadly! is currently Intel-only, as confirmed by the doesitarm.com database showing version 0.43 running exclusively on x86-64 architecture with no native Apple Silicon build reported. The vendor has not yet released a native or Universal Binary version. Given that we are 28 months away from the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 will be removed, you should contact the Sideloadly! developers directly through their official site (sideloadly.io) to ask about their native Apple Silicon roadmap and timeline. If native support is not planned, you may need to start planning a migration to an alternative iOS sideloading tool such as AltStore (which does have native Apple Silicon support and is actively maintained), or continuing to use an older Intel Mac or older macOS version as a dedicated sideloading machine. For the near term, Sideloadly! will continue to run under Rosetta 2, but this is not a permanent solution beyond September 2028.
