<br>Note that if you ever let an app expire you won't be able to access it until you refresh it again. To refresh SideStore, simply follow the steps you followed to install it. (Do <b>not</b> uninstall the SideStore app while doing this.) Altserver will refresh Sidestore and it will continue to function. For any other app, just refresh it normally, and it will work again.
