How to install TrollStore 2 on iOS 15.5 - 16.6.1 / iOS 17.0

TrollStore 2 was unexpectedly released today by developer @opa334. This update is only possible thanks to a CoreTrust bug similar to the first one used in TrollStore 1 on iOS 15.0 – 15.4.1.

Apple’s mistake has led to a new era of TrollStore which allows you to install any application IPA permanently without having to worry about re-signing every 7 days, Apple revokes, certificates or Sideloading tools.

In short, with TrollStore you can install any app from anywhere permanently like on Android. It never expires, never requires re-signing, and cannot be revoked or made unavailable by Apple. Perfect.

What devices are supported by TrollStore 2?

TrollStore 2 supports all devices on iOS 15.0 – 16.6.1 and iOS 17.0, regardless if they are A12+ or not.

However, to install TrollStore 2 you need a separate installation method which may or may not exist for your iOS/device combo. Please check below to ensure it can be installed on your device:

iOS 16.7 – 16.7.2 and iOS 17.0.1+ on all devices

TrollStore 2 is NOT compatible with your device. The CoreTrust bug was fixed by Apple.
If you’re on iOS 16.7 – 16.7.2 you can DelayOTA upgrade to iOS 17.0. This will work until December 20th. You cannot downgrade using this method, so going from iOS 17.0.1 or newer back to iOS 17.0 is not possible.

How to install TrollStore 2 using Misaka Package Manager (MDC)?

If you have a compatible device running Misaka on iOS 15.5 – iOS 16.5 / 16.6 Beta 1, here’s how you can use Misaka Package Manager to install TrollStore 2 on your device.

Please follow the guide carefully. Misaka support for installing TrollStore 2 is currently a bit unstable and may reboot your device a few times before it works properly, especially on KFD (iOS 16.2+).

The guide below applies to MDC devices (iOS 15.0 – 16.1.2). A KFD guide is also coming soon for iOS 16.2+.

For iOS 15.0 – 16.1.2 users:

Prerequisites

To complete this installation, you will need the following things:

Sideloadly – an app that allows you to install IPA apps using your free Apple ID.
Misaka (the latest version) from GitHub

Download the TrollStore Misaka file on your phone.

1. Install Misaka Package Manager (Windows / Mac)

Open Sideloadly and drag and drop the Misaka IPA file into the .IPA file holder.
Connect your phone using a USB cable and make sure it’s unlocked and the PC is trusted.

Type your Apple ID into the Apple ID box in Sideloadly.
Press Start.
If you’re asked for your Apple ID password, type it in the box that appears.

Once Sideloadly says “Done” the app should be available on the home screen.

Trust Misaka

The app is now installed but you cannot open it just yet. Follow the steps below to trust it.

Make sure the device has an active internet connection, either WiFi or Cellular.

Open Settings -> General -> Device Management -> Your e-mail and tap Trust (email).
Go back to the home screen.

Installing TrollStore Helper

Open Misaka. If it asks about using the KFD exploit, decline. You will use MDC.

Inside Misaka, tap the Settings gear icon on the top left, and under the EXPLOIT settings use MDC.
Close and re-open the Misaka app.
Navigate to the Packages tab in Misaka.

Tap the Import button and load the Misaka TrollStore 2 file you downloaded in the Prerequisites section.
A long string of characters should appear. Tap it so that a checkmark appears on top of it.
Tap the Magic Wand button (the second on the top right corner) and press Restart. This will respring your device.

After the respring is complete and you are back on the lockscreen, reboot the device.

Installing TrollStore 2

Now, the moment of truth. In this step, we will finally install TrollStore 2 on the device. Follow the steps below:

After the reboot, unlock the device.

Open the Tips application (search for it on the Home Screen).
Tap the Install TrollStore button.

That’s it! Now you should have TrollStore 2 ready on your device.

To install an IPA app using TrollStore, download it in Safari, open Files, locate the downloaded app, and share it with TrollStore using the Share Sheet. TrollStore 2 should open and install your app.

Latest Misaka version changes:

Added support for all Beta versions of iOS⭐️ (Please report if it actually worked.)
iOS 16.2 beta 1-4, 16.3 beta 1-2, 16.4 beta 1-4, 16.5 beta 1-4, 16.2-16.5 RC
Fixed a bug where the home directory becomes var/mobile/Library when installed with TrollStore2. (Please check if it is actually fixed. If the problem still occurs please message me)

Updated TrollStore to 2.0.7
