I've just tried to install an application again, but Sideloader won't connect:

I've tried with two different accounts and the result is the same. I've restarted my computer several times and changed networks but it doesn't work anymore :s

NB: I've reopened an issue because it's not related to the previous thread.

Apple doesn't trust your computer. This can be due to a lot of things, but if you want to reset that you can go in %AppData%/Sideloader/ and remove device.json and adi.pb. Sideloader will regenerate them, and Apple will see a new computer.

You're right! I had deleted the wrong files (those in the keys/ folder). Thanks for your quick reply :)
Now the wireless works well with Sideloader which is great! Now I just need to automate the automatic refresh every 2 or 3 days using a batch script.

By the way, the error "The process can't access the file because it's being used by another process" still occurs in the latest version. The correction in my PR could therefore be a good temporary solution

[Dadoum]

which file is now being affected in the app bundle?

[maximedrn]

The exact same file

[Dadoum]

I should have expected something is wrong when the file is literally called as C:\Users\Maxime\AppData\Local\Temp\ SideStore.ipa\Payload\SideStore.app\Frameworks\AltStoreCore.frameworkAltStoreCore with a missing backslash… needs more investigation…

[Dadoum]

Do you have a more complete stacktrace? (maybe with Sideloader running with debug logs, to see which parts are colliding on that wrong file path)

[maximedrn]

This is the only stacktrace:

Full exception: std.file.FileException@std\file.d(885): 
C:\Users\Maxime\AppData\Local\Temp\SideStore.ipa\Payload\SideStore.app\Frameworks\AltStoreCore.framework\AltStoreCore: 
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

(The last \ has been removed when I pasted the text on Github but was present in the stacktrace)

And I had the same for YT Music for another file
