ILuc123 · January 9, 2016

Hi everyone, so today i'll be showing u guys how to install .IPA Files w/AppCake.

OMG ! - What ?

I JUST JAILBROKEN MY IPHONE ! - Nice ! Go download some free paid apps

I wanted to, but I dont wanna connect my Iphone to the comp to install IPA... - If ur device is jailbroken , you dont have to

How do I do that ? - Let me Explain

First things first:
Make sure you have installed AppCake ( From repo: http://cydia.iphonecake.com )

Make sure you have installed IFile ( Available from the stock sources )
Make sure your device is JAILBROKEN

Requirements

IFile Installed

AppCake Installed

Jailbroken IDevice

Lets go !

Step 1: Open IFile

Step 2: Go to var/mobile/documents ( place where downloaded IPA files should be )

Step 3: Now copy the file and go back to var/mobile

Step 4: Open Media

Step 5: Press AppCake

Step 6: Open the document named: Importer

Step 7: Paste the IPA file into it.

Step 8: Now close IFile, and open AppCake

Step 9: Press on the download button

Step 10: Now go to Downloaded

Step 11: You should see the ipa file icon, press on it ,and tick on Install

NOTE : APPS LIKE iAPCRACKER,iAPFREE AND LOCALIAPSTORE ,CAN LET APPCAKE NOT WORK AS EXPECTED!

There you go ! Your app is installed

you can retrieve data by yourself. There are programs to do that. For example Ipad Manager Iphone Music Manager

I used them few times.they are free and it works as good as can be expected. The main thing is to stop using the external hard disk until you use this tool, and avoid writing any files to it.
