3. The "Web App" Solution

Instead of installing a patched IPA, use web versions of app stores.

  1. Backup your iPhone to iCloud or a computer.
  2. Download the IPA file from a source you absolutely trust (hint: GitHub is safer than random forums).
  3. Install Sideloadly or AltStore on your Windows/Mac computer.
  4. Connect your iPhone and enter your Apple ID (use a dummy, burner account, not your main one).
  5. Select the Aptoide.ipa file.
  6. Click Start. The tool will re-sign the patched IPA with your developer certificate.
  7. Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and trust your Apple ID.
  8. Open the app. It will work for 7 days, at which point you must refresh it via your computer.
