Is it possible to install IPA apps on iPhone?

Is it possible to install IPA apps on iPhone outside the App Store? If yes, what are the safest ways to do it?

Yep, it’s possible! I’ve installed a bunch of IPA files on my iPhone already. You can check out r/sideloaded for more info.

That subreddit is awesome, they cover a lot of methods, both free and paid.

Yes! AltStore is a great way to go. The only catch is that you have to renew it weekly.

If you pay 5-10 bucks to the app developers, you can renew it yearly. Honestly, it’s not that expensive.

Renewal means reinstalling every week, not the cost. That’s the limitation outside the EU.

Nah, you don’t have to reinstall every week if you buy a slot from a developer license.

Apple isn’t a fan of this and will likely keep cracking down on it. But yes, you can install apps. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re part of an internal test program, and even then, Apple prefers you use TestFlight.

As far as I know, it’s tied to your Apple account when the app checks for it. Unless you have a modified package, it probably won’t work easily.
