Sideload Launcher is from 2014-2015, is there an alternative for it? when I launch it on the Shield TV it always says that it's made for an older version of Android TV and I should check for updates or contact the developer

If you're talking about Chainfire's launcher, that's abandonware.
If you're talking about dxidev's Sideload Channel Launcher, then version 3 is the current and updated one. He publishes a new major version every few years. The most current one stays updated until he moves to the next.
Others gave you other good alternatives depending on if you want a full launcher or just for sideloaded phone apps.
If you just need an AppDrawer that makes all "Sideloaded" App Icons visible, then the best/free app for that on Androidtv is named: Dashboard.
If you want to be able to open a "mobile" app that has no TV-app icon from the home screen, then the best/free app for that on Androidtv is named: Nebula_Manager. Which makes a "channel" row for the Homescreen to use as a "sideloaded-apps" shortcuts row to open mobile apps or as a secondary app favorites row.
Both apps can be found in the AndroidTV version of the Google Play Store.
Sideload Channel Launcher 3, Flauncher, both on the Play Store.
