Help/Support Episode Hack Crashes Instantly on iOS 18.5

kawaiimane · July 20

I recently purchased the iOSGods VIP membership specifically to use the Episode hack on my non-jailbroken iPhone running iOS 18.5. I saw on the mod page that it was compatible with iOS 15.0+, so I assumed it would work fine on my device. Unfortunately, every time I try to launch the hacked game, it crashes instantly, no matter which installation method I use.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Installing the hack directly through the iOSGods VIP app
Sideloading the hack using Sideloadly
Sideloading the hack using AltStore
Completely uninstalling Episode before each install
Rebooting my iPhone between installs

Despite all that, the game crashes immediately upon launch every time.

I now realize that the “iOS 15.0+” compatibility label is referring to the original Episode app, not the mod itself. This was very misleading and I wasn’t aware of this before buying VIP. I only purchased the VIP membership to access this hack, so this is really frustrating.

Is there any fix or update planned to make the hack compatible with iOS 18.5? Or is there an older version of the hack that works on this iOS? If not, can I get any kind of compensation or refund for a product that doesn’t work on my device?

I appreciate any help or advice. Thanks!

After further testing, I wanted to provide an update:

I tried installing the unmodded IPA of Episode using Sideloadly.
The app crashes immediately upon opening, just like the modded version.
This confirms it’s not an issue with the hack itself, but likely a compatibility problem with sideloaded IPAs on iOS 18.5.
For reference, I’m on iOS 18.5 (the only currently signed version) — and yes, the App Store version of Episode works perfectly.
