  7. This will ask for your Apple ID credentials. Enter your Apple ID and password with the 6 digit 2FA code if required. DISCLAIMER: This information is only used to sideload the app using your account. Only Apple will have the credentials and AltStore only keeps your credentials in your device's keychain.

  10. You should now be able to open the AltStore app. Before that, download the osu! iPA.
    My latest iPAs of osu! should be hosted on the Sentakki Discord server.
    The builds are located in #ios-builds, if they're not there, request the iOS role in #general.

  12. Click on the + button and locate the osu! iPA we just downloaded earlier. AltStore iPA Selection

  15. When the screen below is shown, that means the app has already been sideloaded. AltStore Sideloaded Page
