Installing IPAs on the M1

IPA_Install_Apple_Silicon.md

Installing IPAs on Apple Silicon (M1)

  1. Open Apple Configurator 2 and plug in your iPhone or iPad
  2. Click Add, login to the App Store and select the application you want to install
  3. Open up ~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets and wait until the TemporaryItems directory appears
  4. Copy the application from the newly created temporary directory, but do note that it will disappear once Apple Configurator is done installing
  5. Double click the .ipa on your Apple Silicon (M1) device and install it
  6. Fix permissions on the installed application by running sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<your_app>.app (if you skip this step, you're unable to start the application)

Note that it's easier if you already have the application installed, as Apple Configurator will prompt you about overwriting the existing installation, at which point the temporary file (the .ipa) will still exist, until you choose an action in the prompt.

Hi, I am on macOS Monterey and I have this error trying to install AdGuard PRO -> This app can't be install because the developer doesn't design this app to install in this platform. How can I fix it? Thanks!

@RodrigoTomeES adguard has a macos version, i'm not sure why you need the ios version

@RodrigoTomeES

@rullinoiz because I paid for iOS PRO version so I don't want to pay again for the same app when they block me to use the app that I purchased.

@rullinoiz

@RodrigoTomeES aren't you able to install the macos version for free after you bought it on ios? app store developers have the ability to publish just one store page for every device, like how apple arcade games have the same store page for the macos, ios, and appletv versions

and even if it doesn't have a macos version, why not use the free version on mac and the pro version on ios?

@RodrigoTomeES

@rullinoiz No I can't use the pro version in Mac although I bought it in iOS. Yes I could you the free version on Mac, but I bought the PRO version and I wanted to use it 😅

Hi Can you please help me with the below?
A coordinated app install already exists for [***/Invalid] with intent IXCoordinatorIntentUpdating (creator App Store) but the request by iOS App Installer (pid 12161) was for intent IXCoordinatorIntentInitiating
thank you

I've found these solutions to install IPAs on the Apple Silicon:

  1. Sideloadly
  2. PlayCover
  3. This trick
    p.s: Your IPA file MUST be decrypted unless you can't install it.

I can not run my iOS apps as before on MacOS Sonoma.
I've disabled SIP in recovery mode with:
csrutil disable
in macOs terminal with:
sudo spctl --master-disable
. Run:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<your_app>.app
sudo codesign -f -s - --deep /Applications/<your_app>.app
Any ideas why?

I got "This application cannot be installed because the developer did not intend for it to run on this platform." at step 5.

Did you ever figure out how to get it to work?

No. I'm just trying to use PlayCover and SideLoadly instead.
