Common Errors and Fixes:
Some users are reporting a couple of errors that keep appearing, but we’ve found a way to fix them.
-
White or Blank Screen:
This is irritating rather than an actual problem, and you can fix it with these couple of steps:
- Open your iOS Settings app
- Tap on Safari
- Tap Clear Website Data
Try Top Store now; the screen should be normal
-
Fix Apps Revoked:
Because Top Store is an unofficial installer, it runs on expired enterprise certificates. Because of this, Apple will revoke those certificates, and your app will crash. Reinstall it, and it will crash again. The best way to avoid this happening is to install an anti-revoke app. Both will stop the certificate being revoked and leave you to enjoy TopStore uninterrupted.

Fixing Untrusted Developer Error:
When you try to use the app, you will see an Untrusted Developer error; remember the name in the error message and cancel it
- Next, open your Settings app and go to Profiles in General
- Find the developer name in the list and tap it
- Trust it and close Settings, now you can use the app.
