Sure , I can try to be as specific as possible being it was a bit of trial and error to be honest and have been in Reddit trying to help folks. Also, to note , I have a signing service to where I get an updated releases , but initially the source of the .ipa was IOS Gods, so it’s either from here or my signing service. However, it still gave me the download prompt from IOSGods, and out of respect for this forum I can’t name drop the other sources but there are 2 other great sources that are current and modded.
So as far as specifics:
I tried to replicate my success on 3 VPN’s
all 3 were given to me for review purposes , that said I used ipvanish , wireguard protocol (443) worked 70% of the time, WeVPN which was a great service however since merged to Windscribe which has become a truly great service, using their new wireguard stealth protocol which is different from wireguard alone and the have the “r.o.b.e.r.t.” System that allows you to circumvent connection in the worst of environments technically speaking that would normally be really rough to blacklisting services , ads, or ip’s requests to servers such as the download request for this game when starting . So, that service aside from me being impressed with it really has had a 100% success rate , finally Cyberghost, did well too and I was able to bypass . They are part of the 5, 9, 14 eyes based in Switzerland I believe if I recall properly, I’m sure most of you are familiar with the reasons it’s good to be in the “eyes” protection. So, Cyberghost also worked although that was a openVPN protocal (1146) and TCP that worked well but in an average of 80% or less success rate at times which isn’t bad. . That’s about specific as I can get .
Again, it was trial and error. My advice , which of course take it or leave it, but I’d look for a new .ipa, as in the proper source 1st , I am seeing a lot of people try to use the Mac .IPA , which obviously isn’t going to work and when it comes to the Iphone .IPA, make sure you are looking around for the newest version as it’s always being updated all over. With that said, I really feel I have to give a warning to be careful what you download , before install , run it through VirusTotal, or even bette yet OPSWAT, to make sure the .IPA is clean.
So , even with the VPN settings and services I used , since I was last in this forum or Reddit for that matter again, there has been multiple updated versions of this .ipa regular or modded versions of this title released and that’s where I’d start honestly is finding the best app.
Finally , I know many of you are pretty determined to play this on mobile , I’m not sure if you have other outlets to play the game on, if not, I get it , but just in my opinion having played it through on PC , mobile doesn’t do the game justice unless your on the iPhone 15 pro max and maybe mirroring it to a flatscreen and using Bluetooth for a controller. Otherwise, I have to say getting it to work on a 14 pro max strictly to show it was capable on other devices and not just the 15 series as Apple likes to do with things to get you to spend money or constantly update, don’t get me started on the amazing tool OCLP for “old” Macbook pros, but in any case honestly a was a fairly underwhelming experience, poor refresh rates in game due to stuttering from the heat of the device trying to push the game and the 14 pro max is still a beast but it def pushed the device hard and led to a lot of struggles for heat dissipation which again lead to poor gameplay and stifled the performance of the device, if you do get it working , expect to be powered up the whole time as in plugged in.
What I did was use a J5 lighting to 4k@60fps adapter and hooked it up to a monitor and use Bluetooth for my Xbox controller, again is still a beast of a device and capable but I think many will find it’s a tad underwhelming playing a game like that not only on mobile. It with the technical issues you will have . Anyway, that’s all I got for you , I hope some of it helps you guys out as I always encourage for you to make your own opinions and do it for yourself and share your experiences, they could be completely different than mine. I solely did this to prove you don’t need the 15 series for this to work just like you don’t need to update your MacBooks when you get stuck on a OS or Apple dropped support , for example , I have a stock mid 2010 MacBook Pro and many other MacBooks pros running MacOS Sonoma (the newest OS supposedly only for M1/M2 MBP’s and I have it running perfectly without any ram or SSD updates although that would make it much better , however they still run perfectly and do so for free.sorry, off subject , Anyway best of luck my fellow techies!!!! Excuse the long reply !
