Download the unsigned IPA, sign it with your own Apple Account on a Mac or Windows computer, then install it on your device. The IPA cannot be installed directly from a phone browser.
The website does not ask for or collect your Apple Account, password, verification code, or signing certificate. Enter them only in the local i4Tools signing window. Use only the official i4Tools installer.
The iOS app is finished and open for users to install and test. Releasing it on the App Store takes further steps, including paying Apple an annual developer fee. We will decide whether to release it on the App Store based on how many people use it.
We may later release it on App Stores outside mainland China, such as the US App Store, but not on the mainland China App Store because of policy and review restrictions. Before any release, we need to enroll as an Apple developer and pay the annual fee.
Manual installation is available because the iOS app is finished but has not gone through the App Store release process yet. If you need the app now, install it by following the steps below.
The signing-tool view changes with your computer.
You need a Mac or Windows computer, a USB data cable, an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later, an Apple Account, the official i4Tools application, and the IPA from this site. Keep the phone unlocked.
Download official i4ToolsUse the iOS download link on this site. Save the unsigned IPA on your computer, check its version and filename, and compare its SHA-256 digest if a checksum file is provided. This original package cannot be installed yet.

0147e1ca9b703c8597986f0a23a713188bc7d958cac8e76b1411153efe7bf07aConnect the unlocked device by USB. If prompted, tap “Trust This Computer” on the device and enter its passcode. Wait until i4Tools recognizes the device before signing or installing.
In i4Tools, open Toolbox → IPA File Signing. On Mac v9.10 it appears under Advanced Tools. Windows labels or position may differ; search the Toolbox for IPA signing.
Choose Add IPA File, select the unsigned package, then choose Apple ID signing. Add your Apple Account and complete any verification inside i4Tools on your computer. Select the actual device for signing; never enter credentials on this website.
Select the IPA and account, start signing, and wait for success. At the bottom of the signing window, check “Save signed files to” and click “Open” (or “Open signed IPA location”). This is the output folder containing the newly signed IPA, not necessarily your original download folder.
i4Tools signing instructionsOpen My Device → Apps → Import & Install in i4Tools. Browse to the signing output folder from the previous step and select the newly signed IPA. Keep the device connected and unlocked until installation finishes. Never import the original unsigned download.
You must install the newly signed IPA from the signing output folder. The original download is unsigned and will fail to install, even after you have signed a separate copy.
After installation, open Settings → General → VPN & Device Management on the iPhone or iPad. Under Developer App, tap the Apple Account you signed with, tap Trust, and confirm. The device must be online to trust the developer. If the app shows “Untrusted Developer” when you open it, this step is not finished yet.
iOS 16 and later also require Developer Mode; skip this if it is already on. Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode, turn it on, and restart when prompted. After the restart, tap Turn On and enter the device passcode. The option may only appear after pairing or an install attempt; follow the device prompts. You can then open the app.
Open the app, sign in to the website, and test video playback. Free provisioning profiles expire after 7 days. Before or after expiry, sign again with the same Apple Account and app identifier, then install over the existing app when possible. Back up any important local data first.
Apple: free account limitsUnlock the device, accept the trust prompt, try a data-capable cable and another USB port, and update i4Tools. On Windows, also check the Apple device driver.
Open Toolbox and look under Advanced Tools or search for IPA signing. Update the official i4Tools version if the layout differs from this guide.
Check the account, password, two-factor verification, date and time, and network. Complete prompts only in the local signing tool; never send your password or verification code to this website.
Free accounts have app and device limits. Remove unused development apps or wait for the limit to reset; a paid developer account is not required for this guide.
Make sure you selected the newly signed IPA from the output folder, not the original unsigned download. Confirm signing completed successfully.
Sign again while the target device is connected and select that exact device. Confirm the device runs iOS 16 or later and that the package was built for a physical iPhone/iPad.
Open Settings → General → VPN & Device Management, tap your Apple Account under Developer App, and tap Trust. The device must be online. If your account is not listed, reinstall the newly signed IPA and check again. Only trust a package you signed yourself.
Apple says the switch may appear only after pairing or attempting to run a development app. Reconnect the device, retry the install, and follow the device prompt; it is not needed on every iOS version or installation path.
The free provisioning profile likely expired. Sign the current IPA again with the same Apple Account and app identifier and install it over the existing app where possible.
Check internet access and open the configured website in Safari. If the site is unavailable, retry later. The app needs the online service for browsing and sign-in.
