Bypass 3 apps limit, sideload as many apps and games you like on iPhone plus with JIT fully enabled for running them full speed.
- This tutorial detailed the steps to install and use LiveContainer together with StikJIT to not only bypass 3 apps limit but also enable JIT on any sideloaded apps without PC/Mac and without Wi-Fi (Cellular / Airplane mode can do).
- No jailbreak nor any forms of subscriptions is required.

What is LiveContainer?
If you ever heard VM (Virtual Machine) or Docker, LiveContainer use the same concept. It’s basically a main app that can store multiple (sideloaded) apps and run them when required. Your iPhone/iPad is the main host. LiveContainer is the “VM” that enables the host (iPhone/iPad) to install more than just 3 sideloaded apps and run any compatible sideloaded apps without the need to uninstall-reinstall. Big kudos to Duy Tran (a.k.a khanhduytran0) and other contributors that make this possible.

What is StikJIT?
It’s the best JIT enabler today – part of new discovery and collaboration between jkcoxson, Stephen, Stossy11 and other great peoples (apologies if I didn’t mention your name here, because I’m getting all this info scrapping Reddit and Github) that push JitStreamer (the previous best JIT enabler) further by making it serverless on-device direct JIT enabler which translate to this in simple English: you can enable JIT on supported iOS and iPadOS device with just one single tap from within the device. No PC/Mac required. No complicated setups or configurations and no shortcuts.

Why do you need StikJIT with LiveContainer?
As mentioned earlier, StikJIT is the best JIT enabler out there right now, combined with LiveContainer that’s practically enabling you to sideload any kinds of apps or games without limit, and thus resulting in having those apps and games running at full speed on your iPhone and iPad.
To put it simply:
- Bypass 3 app limit.
- Single tap JIT enabler.
- Run demanding apps or games at better/full speed.
Here’s How to use LiveContainer with StikJIT – Works on both iPhone and iPad
| Prerequisites a) Make sure you have installed and setup LiveContainer. Full step by step guide is here: LiveContainer guide at JILAXZONE. b) Make sure you have installed and setup StikJIT. Full step by step guide is here: StikJIT guide at JILAXZONE. |
One Time Setup
Do the following setup on your iPhone: both Global Settings and Per-app Settings.
Global Settings
a) Open LiveContainer app.
b) Inside LiveContainer, navigate to “Settings”.
c) Under “JIT” section, tap on “JIT Enabler”.
d) Choose “SideJITServer/JITStreamer 2.0”.
Leave the rest of settings unchanged.
Per-app Settings
Do these steps in case you haven’t done so
a) Open LiveContainer app.
b) Inside LiveContainer, navigate to “Apps”.
c) Tap on the sideloaded app, then choose “Settings”.
d) Turn on “Launch with JIT”. Enable this if the sideloaded app requires JIT to run.
If you setup correctly, you should see “lightning” icon next to the sideloaded app icon, under “Apps” tab.
Recurring Setup – each time you want to run the sideloaded apps or games with JIT enabled
Do the following setup on your iPhone each time you are running the sideloaded app/game.
a) Open LiveContainer app.
b) Inside LiveContainer, navigate to “Apps”.
c) Tap on “Run” to run the app or game you want to run.
d) It will then stop at the screen showing “Waiting for JIT”.
e) Go back to iPhone Home Screen, open StosVPN app.
f) Inside StosVPN, tap on “Connect” to connect to VPN. Wait until the VPN is successfully connected.
g) Go back to iPhone Home Screen, open StikJIT app.
h) Inside StikJIT, tap “Enable JIT” and select “LiveContainer”.
You’ll be redirected back to LiveContainer and if you do all the steps correctly, you’ll be then (again) redirected to the app or game you selected earlier.
| Recommendation Before continue using your app or game that now has its JIT enabled, it’s good practice to stop the VPN running (by disconnecting the StosVPN). |
