Help/Support Extracting an App Store game’s IPA without jailbreak

[blacksmith40 65 iPhone 14 Pro 26.4.2]

Hello everyone, I’m a longtime member of this community, and it’s really great to see how much it has grown and come this far. I’d like to ask for your help with something.

 

I have an iPhone running iOS 26.4.2, and as far as I know jailbreaking isn’t possible on this version.

 

I downloaded an online game from the App Store, and I’d like to mod it and end up with a second, modified copy running alongside the original. The part about modding it (using AI models) and sideloading the new app next to the original with Sideloadly is already covered in the guides here, so I’m fine on that side.

 

My actual question is about the very first step: without jailbreaking, can I pull the app’s IPA off my phone onto my PC? And is there any way to do this without having to buy an old jailbroken device just for this purpose?

 

Thanks in advance

You need a jailbroken device or Mac silicon devoce to decrypt ipa

Or just use https://armconverter.com/decryptedappstore/us

Wow, it looks like there's a server doing this decryption for me. Thanks a lot.

Is there a plan to add more countries -> more apps? I couldn't see any EU country.

One more question, can I decrypt apps on Flight Test?

Can I decrypt apps for all iOS versions? I mean, an app running ios 26+, can this tool decrypt it?

Yep, but some apps will fail because of new Apple encryption, very rare
