Many of my employees (at my direction) have recently acquired brand new iPhones. All of them, of course, are happy with the purchase, but some of them still don’t understand what kind of device they got into their hands. Therefore, they use the iPhone the old fashioned way - they only call and write SMS. I just don’t get around to installing at least some bullshit casual game (or I don’t have the brains). Such unfortunate users bring bad karma upon themselves! After all, with the purchase of an iPhone you get access to a store with +800k applications, so why not use them? It is for such comrades that I decided to write this article, in which I will tell you how to install applications on iPhone and iPad.

There are several methods and ways to install programs on iPhone. But we will consider only the main ones.

The first thing we won’t be able to move on without is Apple ID. This is an account with which you can do a bunch of different things - from installing applications to tracking a lost iPhone and other Apple devices. So if you still don’t have an Apple ID, register urgently. Complete Guide can be found .

Installing applications from the App Store

You can install applications on your iPhone/iPad without a computer, but with the obligatory presence of the Internet. The most common way is to install games and programs from the store. App Store. To do this, there is a standard application on your iOS device, which is called the “App Store”. Below is step-by-step instruction:

STEP 1 Turn on the iPhone (iPad/iPod) and launch the standard App Store application.

STEP 2 At the bottom of the screen there is a menu for quickly searching for applications (Featured - Top Charts - Near Me). If you know exactly what you came for, it’s better to use Search. As you enter the name of the app or its developer, you will be presented with matching results.

STEP 3 Having selected an application, pay attention to the terms of its distribution (for money or free)

STEP 4 By clicking on the application icon, you will be taken to a page with a description and other information. To install the application, click on the blue price tag or rectangle with the word and confirm the installation by clicking.

.ipa files

Applications for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch are not without “material appearance” and can be distributed as files with the extension .ipa. Files with this extension are stored in the App Store. .ipa files can only be installed on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, but cannot be run in the iOS simulator on a computer.

In reality, an .ipa file is a ZIP-compressed folder containing an executable file and resource files. In this case, the folder is structured in a special way for automatic recognition in iTunes and the App Store. To access the “insides” of an ipa file, you can rename its extension to zip and then unpack it.

I had a case when I needed to add some maps to the iGO application. To do this, I renamed the ipa file to zip and extracted it. Then I copied the map files to the appropriate folder inside the unpacked archive and packed everything back into zip. Renamed zip to ipa and recorded on iPhone. Everything worked like clockwork. iGO pulled up the cards and did not notice the substitution.

What if I have Jailbrake?

If your iPhone has been jailbroken (the procedure for opening access to file system), you can still install applications from, according to the instructions described above. In addition, jailbreaking gives you the ability to install hacked applications that can be downloaded from numerous torrent sites.

I won’t write about how to download from torrent sites. I’ll just say one thing: when downloading applications from torrent sites, you should only be interested in one single file with the .ipa extension. Read the instructions below for what to do with it next.

STEP 1 Launch the program on the computer iTunes. We connect your iOS device using a cable.

STEP 2 If Media library(left column) no item Programs, activate it in the settings (in the top menu iTunes > Preferences). After that, click on the item Programs in the Mediatheque.



STEP 3 Go to Finder and in the Downloads folder, find the downloaded .ipa file with your application. Launch it by double clicking.

STEP 4 You will be automatically transferred back to iTunes where the new application icon will appear. Now drag this icon with right side screen to the left and release the button above the name of your device. Wait until copying is complete.

Preparation. There will always be a “custom” version along with the official methods of installing (purchasing) applications. What does it mean? The fact is that not all people are used to paying, maybe not even out of greed, but, most likely, out of principle. The Apple company has created a special online store where almost all applications for iPad 2 are located. Games are also included in this list. Some of them are distributed free of charge, others for a fee. The cost depends on the application developer himself. This store is called the "App Store". So, this method of installing applications is the only official method. All others are classified as "undesirable" (according to Apple). To avoid paying for apps, people hack them by inserting a fake license and preventing verification. But to install such programs on your device, you need to use additional software and perform an operation called “Jailbreak”. Jailbreak is a modification of the system part software, which allows you to install pirated versions programs. I will not tell you how to perform this operation in this article. So, the following question will be discussed in more detail: “How to install games on iPad 2?”

Installing hacked applications. You already know that there are hacked applications that are not linked to an Apple Id. In addition to the fact that you will need to do a Jailbreak, you will also need to install "App Sync". The applications themselves can be downloaded from various sources. There are plenty of such portals on the web. Further actions can be performed as in the official method.
