My SideStore doesn't work at all anymore

Ever since I've updated to iOS 26 I've had issues upon issues with SideStore. It doesn't work anymore, no matter what I do. I've had this issue for months.

It always gives the error "SideStore could not determine this device's UDID. Please replace your pairing using iloader."

Now, you might say "you big dumb idiot, just read and do what it says." Well, I did. I have tried iloader on my device and I added the pairing file multiple times, then I tried exporting it and putting it in manually, too. That didn't work. So, I reinstalled SideStore multiple times, still the same issue.

Then I tried doing it on Windows, because I thought maybe the Linux version of iloader is broken. No dice, still doesn't work. So I tried on my sister's laptop. No dice.

At that point, I gave up. This was back in FEBRUARY. Now, I finally decided to try again because using YouTube in Safari sucks. So, I reinstalled SideStore yesterday, and it finally worked... for a day. I managed to install LiveContainer, then today, when I tried to install YouTube IT CROAKED! The same UDID error again, no matter what I do!
