NOTICE:

This guide is now in maintenance mode. Rebble made their own official guide based on this, so please follow the updated guide on their website at help.rebble.io/sideload-ios-app. If you have any suggestions, ping me (@robonxt) or one of the helpful people in the official Rebble Discord Server and hopefully there will be a guide update soon!

Thank you for all the support, and long live Pebble and Rebble!

Fun Fact: I've never daily driven Pebble on iOS before, only to test out sideloading and to ensure the guide works with the iOS devices I have 🤣

The Pebble app is no longer on the App Store.

No worries! If you have an Apple ID, you can install the app yourself!

Please note that you have to do this every 7 days for the app to keep working.

If you don't redo the process after a week, your Pebble will still receive notifications.

Help:

• If you have sideloading issues, try installing the latest iTunes and iCloud before starting the process.

  For Windows users: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE MICROSOFT STORE VERSION. Download and install from Apple's website.

• If the app does not start, go to the Settings app > General > Device Management > (your Apple ID email). The Pebble app should now have a "Verified" status. If not, repeat steps 3-6.
• If Sideloadly does not work for you, try using AltStore*.

well, i followed your advice. unfortunately, i had to go through the whole loop again afterwards and re-register all devices as well as renew the app-specific passwords. quite annoying. here is the error message provided by sideloadly:

Sideloadly version 0.28, Darwin 13.2, amd64

Checking iOS version...

Retrying with alt Anisette

I would suggest you to raise the issue with Sideloadly instead. You can read their FAQ here: https://sideloadly.io/#faq. If you still have an issue, I would recommend you to contact Sideloadly.

today i tried to install the Pebble app with iOS 13.3 using sideloadly as usual which in the process (had to enter the apple id password) probably led to apple considering this a security risk. i had to reset my apple id password. did anyone have the same problem?

Having the same problem with you @pascii-pixelzauberer . Worst is if your Apple ID is linked with Apple Developer Program or Apple Enterprise, you may not even use it. So for best ready, use a brand new Apple ID.

I have this message, (i want install and a iphone 15 pro with ios 17.5 You are not allowed to perform this operation. Please check with one of your Team Admins, or, if you need further assistance, please contact Apple Developer Program Support. https://developer.apple.com/support. What can i do (i,m not a developer)
