A Windows and macOS application allows users to install iOS applications (IPAs) onto Apple devices without requiring a developer account for each application. This process circumvents the official App Store distribution method. For instance, individuals can utilize this tool to install custom-built apps or older versions of apps not currently available on the App Store.
The value of this method stems from enabling users to test applications in development, install apps unavailable due to geographical restrictions, or access features altered or removed in subsequent App Store versions. Historically, such methods have provided users with greater control over the software on their devices, especially when Apple’s official ecosystem limits functionality. It offers an alternative route for application installation, independent from the usual constraints.
