Use iTunes to install. – Comstock 18/10, 2013 at 11:8

why don't you just install xCode it's for free if you have MAC and iPhone you must download xCode. – Symposiac 18/10, 2013 at 11:14

drag the app file into iTunes and then select your device in the iTunes . After that you can find the apps tab on the iTunes. Then you will see the dragged app file . CLick on the install and sync your phone .

Firstly You have to Create .ipa File

Create a folder called Payload
Place the .app folder inside of that
Zip up the Payload folder using normal compression
Then rename the file with a .ipa extension

After that just install through itune

is this working or not? – Bobinette 3/3, 2018 at 6:55

Not for me (iTunes does not have app section any more so you can't drag it in to iTunes)... – Drobman 25/7, 2019 at 7:57

@Alfi u found some other solution? – Transitory 3/4, 2020 at 21:0

First, the .app file needs to be renamed to .zip – Gradin 6/8, 2020 at 15:2

Then, the .app FOLDER needs to be extracted and placed inside the Payload folder. Then steps and 4 should be followed as written above. – Gradin 6/8, 2020 at 15:16

That's what is written in a Medium article on this topic. – Gradin 6/8, 2020 at 15:16

You don't. If you have an application package (.ipa file) that is signed with a provisioning profile that authorizes it for your device, you can install it in iTunes.

The other option is to jailbreak your phone, but I don't know anything about the details of that.
