Maintainer activity

1 person did triage or write work on this repository in the last 12 months.

Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 11, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits.

How this project is maintained

Roughly one issue in four opened in the past year never receives a reply. 100% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. 33% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months. Only 53% of issues opened in the past year have been closed. Three people close 80% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

iloader is a desktop application for sideloading apps onto iOS devices.

The tool solves the friction of installing SideStore and managing iOS device pairing files. It automates the process of connecting an iOS device via USB, authenticating with an Apple ID, and installing applications like SideStore or LiveContainer. The application handles certificate management, pairing file import, and provides intelligent error messages to guide users through common problems. It supports importing arbitrary IPA files and managing pairing files across multiple apps.

Developers and iOS enthusiasts who want to sideload applications should choose this tool if they value a streamlined graphical interface over command-line workflows. It suits anyone setting up SideStore for the first time or managing multiple iOS devices. The tool runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with platform-specific installation methods including package managers and a NixOS flake. The README does not compare it to alternative sideloading approaches.

The project maintains active issue tracking and community support through a dedicated Discord server. Development is structured around a TypeScript and Rust codebase built with Tauri, supporting both development workflows with hot reload and production builds. The project actively seeks localization contributions and maintains translation infrastructure through i18next, indicating ongoing internationalization work.
