Install the ipa file to your iPhone without jailbreaking
E86 Apple Signature Introduction: Click to View
Many people know that the apk file is the file name of the Android app application, but does anyone know what the file name of the Apple iOS app app is? It is an ipa file.
The ipa file consists of three parts. The .app directory under the payload directory is the main program of the software; iTunesArtwork is basically a png image without extension, which is used to display icons in iTunes; record iTunesMetadata.plist, buyer information, data such as selling prices.
A file with the IPA file extension is an iOS App file. They are used as containers like ZIP to store various data that make up iPhone, iPad or ipod touch APP applications, such as games, utilities, weather, social networks, news, etc.
How to install the ipa file on the iPhone?
IPA files are used by Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. They can be downloaded via the App Store (executed on the device) or iTunes. If the APP is not listed in the application store, how to download and install the app on the iPhone? The e86 editor teaches you a few ways to install it without jailbreaking – Apple signature.
Apple’s ios logo gives relatively high permissions to the ipa file, and the ipa file can be installed directly, or installed and used by implementing a real machine test. Apple ios signatures are currently divided into three categories, specifically Apple enterprise signatures, Apple super signatures, and Apple TF signatures.
1. Apple Enterprise Signature
This is the first choice of most customers. The biggest advantage is that the price/performance ratio and functions are not bad, and there is no limit to the number of times to download updates. However, there is a phenomenon of signature loss in Apple’s corporate signature. It is more reliable to choose a formal platform when choosing a cooperation. The formal platform divides the version and ensures that the price of the classified signature is proportional to the stability. For example, if you choose the E86 Apple signature, the higher the price the higher the price. Ability to apply certificate signing
Two, ios super signature
Since the personal developer account used for super signature can only be connected to 100 udids, the cost is relatively high, and charging according to the number of downloads is unacceptable to most App operators. If you have a personal developer account, it is a good way to build a super signature system.
3. Apple TF signature
As an Apple internal measurement method officially recognized by Apple, it is directly distributed to users for installation through testflight, the internal measurement store of Apple. Apple’s official links and distribution are worry-free, safe and risk-free, and its stability is superior among the three signature methods. However, there is an operation that needs to download testflight, and there is no need to add trust to download. Similar to the process of downloading an APP application in an APP application store.
The Apple mobile phone is different from the Android system. The installation of various programs must go through strict scrutiny, and the installation is very complicated. But Apple’s environment is clean, which is why many Apple fans like it. The strict review system also makes it difficult for developers. App ipa files that cannot be directly put on the shelves will choose Apple’s signature method for users to download.
