Side-load IPAs with AltStore for iOS 14

AltStore is the most convenient way to side-load apps when enterprise certificates are revoked.

It’s a free singing service for iOS devices. Using it you can sing IPAs with a free developer certificate which lasts for 7 days.

What makes AltStore great that’s it allows you to resign apps from your iPhone/iPad directly. As free developer accounts, which most of the users have, will give you only a seven-day certificate, you’ll use this service a lot. As great things come with limitations, you’ll need a computer to use this singing service.

Also, AltStore has a modern user interface, from which you can resign side-loaded apps.

Requirements:

  • A computer macOS or Windows.
  • The IPA of the app you need to side-load. “you can get these from our website 🙂
