TrollStore: How to Fix the Issue of Unable to Install Apps from the App Store

If you encounter the issue where you can’t download an app from the App Store while using TrollStore, with the download icon stuck and the app continuing to download when you try to open it, don’t worry—this article will guide you through fixing the problem in just a few steps!

Causes of the Issue

Here are some common reasons why you might face this issue:

1. Incorrect App Deletion: You deleted the app from the home screen instead of uninstalling it through TrollStore.
2. Excess Data from TrollStore Causing Conflicts: TrollStore stores MetadataIdentifier files—identification codes used to distinguish app data—which causes App Store to get confused and fail to recognize the app correctly.
3. Installing a Higher Version Than the App Store Version: For example, you install the Facebook MOD version 490.1.0 (IPA) via TrollStore, but the App Store version is 490.0.0.

Result: The App Store will throw an error, or the app won’t work even after re-downloading.

How to Fix the Issue of Not Being Able to Install Apps from the App Store

If you’re facing this issue, follow the steps below. These steps apply generally to all apps installed with TrollStore:

Method 1: Use Filza to Resolve the Issue

Step 1: Reinstall Filza App

First, reinstall the Filza app using TrollStore. [Download Filza here]

Step 2: Access Data Files Using Filza File Manager

Open the Filza File Manager app.

Navigate to the following directory: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/

Step 3: Find and Delete the Related Folder

Delete the app in any way you prefer, as long as it is removed.

Step 4: Reinstall the App from the App Store

Once you’ve completed the above steps, go back to the App Store.

Re-download the app as usual—the issue should be fixed!

Method 2: Restore Your Device

Based on my experience with TrollStore and feedback from trusted sources and forums, if the above method doesn’t work, the only option left is to restore your device to its original state (reset, factory settings).

Keep in mind that this action will return your iPhone to its factory settings. Be sure to back up all important data to avoid any loss.
