Description

After i reinstalled Altstore or sidestore on ios 26.4, i ran into the issue that there is no 2fa code showing up. it worked flawlessly before with Altstore but now i have the same issue with both stores.

I made an alternative apple id and tried to do it with the icloud/sms workaround. Also didnt work. A lot of people report that the workaround needs a few attempts but no matter how many times i hit the login button with the sms code, it just wont let me in . I am not connected to a vpn. Also tried networks outside of my dns server.

Start by reproducing the missing 2FA code on iOS 26.4 with AltStore or SideStore, then trace the login and SMS workaround flow. Done means the 2FA code is shown or the documented SMS fallback successfully completes login.
