WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit fixes the three-app limit for sideloading.
Zhuowei Zhang has released WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit IPA, which removes the restriction of only being able to sideload three apps onto Apple IDs that are not enrolled in the Apple Developer Programme. This program allows you to sideload up to ten IPA files onto your iPhone or iPad. All of the above IPA installers are compatible.

With a free developer certificate, Apple lets you install up to three apps on your device per Apple ID. However, with WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit, you can install up to ten IDs without enrolling in Apple’s costly Developer Programme. Recently, WDBRemove ThreeAppLimit was added to the Misaka tweak manager.
WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit is a free MacDirtyCow utility that lets you escape the three-app limit when sideloading IPA files using a free Apple Developer account linked to your Apple ID—the tool patches installed on iOS, abolishing the three-app limit for free provisioning.
Sideloading IPA files enables users to install and manage programs and jailbreak tools that are either unavailable in the App Store or have yet to be approved for distribution there. This is typically accomplished with third-party applications such as Esign Patch, AltStore, Sideloadly, Bullfrog Assistant, or SideStore.
The three-app limit for a free Apple Developer account refers to the maximum number of apps that can be active simultaneously with a single free Apple Developer account. Sideloading more than three apps requires enrollment in Apple’s Developer Programme, which costs $99 annually.
One of the most critical aspects of WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit is the ability to sideload apps utilizing a free developer certificate over the air. This implies that anyone without a premium Apple Developer account can now sideload up to ten apps, as the three-app limit has been lifted for free developer accounts. It is compatible with iOS 14 through 15.7.1, as well as iOS 16 and 16.2.1.
Warning: The MacDirtyCow bug has been fixed in iOS 16.2 and 15.7.2 versions.
WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit was released as an open-source project. The complete source code is available on Zhuowei’s GitHub repository. Anyone can inspect the app’s code and contribute to its development.
WDBRemoveThreeAppLimit IPA can be sideloaded to your device using your preferred installation method. For this installation guide, we shall use Sideloadly.
