No Jailbreak Required How to Install Tweaked IPA as a Duplicate App & Keep the Original from App Store!

This feature is now available on Sideloadly & the iOSGods App!

---

Hello! In this tutorial, we will be showing you how you can installed a Modded IPA without having to uninstall or overwrite the original App from the App Store. Meaning, you can have both the normal app & the hacked app installed at the same time on your iDevice.

Requirements:
- Jailbroken or Non-Jailbroken iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
- Cydia Impactor.
- A Computer Running Windows/Mac/Linux. I will be using a Windows PC for this tutorial.
- 7-Zip or WinRar or any other Archive Utilities. I will be using 7-Zip for this tutorial.

 

Things to know before proceeding

- When you modify the app and install it as a duplicate, Game Center will not recognise the app anymore. Therefore, if your progress is synced via Game Center, you won't be able to transfer it to the duplicated app. It will still be available in the original app. This is also a main reason why most of our Pre-Hacked IPAs overwrite the original app you have installed.
- You can also do this on a Jailbroken environment. Use IPA Installer or iFunBox with AppSync to install the IPA instead of Cydia Impactor.
- This does not work with every game.
- You can perform this multiple times.

 

Instructions

1. First of all, download Cydia Impactor and the modified IPA from iOSGods. I will be using MARVEL Contest of Champions hacked IPA as an example.

2. Now, we already have the app from the App Store installed on your iDevice. So we would like to install the new modded IPA as a different app without replacing/overwriting or affecting the original non-modified app. To do this, we open up the .IPA using 7-zip and text edit the Payload\AppName.app\Info.plist file with any text editor. 

 

3. Now inside the Info.plist, scroll down and you will need to find the <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>. Underneath that will be the Bundle ID of the app. All you need to do is simply change the Bundle ID from com.companyname.gamename to something like iOSGods.com.GameName

 

4. Now save the changes and 7-Zip will ask you if you want to update the modified file with the one inside the archive, select yes. Double check to make sure. If it hasn't, extract the Info.plist, edit it then drag it back into your IPA replacing the original Info.plist.

5. Now we just need to sideload the new app with Cydia Impactor and it will install as a new app without overwriting the one we already have installed from the App Store on our iDevice!
