Install IPA (ideviceinstaller) is an option in Legacy iOS Kit that allows installation of IPA files to iOS devices. The iOS device must be jailbroken and have AppSync installed for this option to work with cracked IPA files.

If you are on iOS 5 or newer, it is generally recommended to use Install IPA (appinst), as it installs apps through SSH using appinst instead of ideviceinstaller. The exception is iOS 10, where Install IPA (ideviceinstaller) is more recommended due to known SSH issues affecting appinst usage on that version.

If you have iOS 14 or newer, you may use TrollStore or TrollStore Lite instead.

For non-jailbroken sideloading, you may want to go to Sideloading on Linux or Jailbreaking pages instead.

• Device must be on iOS 3.1 or newer
• Device must be jailbroken, and have AppSync installed
  • For iOS 5 and newer, get AppSync from here: https://lukezgd.github.io/repo/
