How this thread works. The first post is the status and I edit it, with the date, within a day of a new iOS release, a new tool release or a reported break. Latest public iOS on 2026-11-11: iOS 27.2.1 (security update released 2026-11-09); iOS 27.3 is in public beta. Replies are for reports: post your device, iOS version, tool version and what happened. A reply that matches an existing problem gets added to the list with the date.

Current state
- Nightly published 2026-11-08 (commit 9d6ea09).
- 3.8.0 (2026-07-17) is the latest numbered release, and its own page says it is outdated and to use the nightly.
- Requires iOS or iPadOS 15+ (multitasking 16+). Standalone install needs SideStore 0.6.2+ or AltStore 2.2.1+.
Known problems
- Members report the LiveContainer+SideStore bundle hitting SideStore sign-in errors (-80045); see the SideStore status thread for the reported Anisette and pairing-file fixes. A member says LiveContainer 2 / multiple instances only helps launching, not signing.
- Members running LiveContainer through iLoader have reported "The provisioning profile is banned" on free Apple IDs (2026-11-11); see our thread on this error. Using LiveContainer does not appear to protect an account: one reporter had only LiveContainer installed.
- Not every app runs; the project keeps a compatibility label on GitHub.
- No app extensions or remote push notifications; permissions are global; guest containers are not sandboxed from each other.
- Warning from the project: closed-source third-party builds of LiveContainer can read all your app data. Use only the official repo.
- Not yet confirmed by us on iOS 27.x.
