Can’t trickshot me!
Pros:
- Makes you feel smarter
Cons:
- Requires more time
Needed materials:
- Jailbroken device
- .ipa file of the app you want
- iFile
- MobileTerminal
- Safari Download Manager (only if you want to do everything on your device)
Instructions:
* Some of these steps can be done PC, but for the sake of this tutorial, I will be doing everything on the device *
1) Download the .ipa file of the app you want. Google it, I'm not going to spoon feed you everything.
2) Rename the file from xxx.ipa to xxx.zip
3) Extract the file.
4) Go into the Payload folder.
5) Create a folder and name it whatever, but make sure it's easy to type because you'll need to type it out in MobileTerminal.
6) Inside the new folder, create two more folders; one named Applications, and the other DEBIAN.
7) Go back to the Payload folder.
Copy/Cut the .app folder and paste it inside the Applications folder.9) Go into the DEBIAN folder and create a new file and name it control without any file extensions.
10) Open the control file with enter this information (can be fake info, it doesn't matter):
Package: com.company.app
Name: App name
Version: Version number here
Section: Category your app belongs in (Games, Photography, Utilities, etc.).
Architecture: iphoneos-arm
Description: App description here.
Author: Your name/company
11) To make the next few steps easier, I will be moving the folder from step #5 to a new directory (/var/debs/) to make it easier to type in MobileTerminal.
12) Now go into MobileTerminal and type out these commands:
su [RETURN]
yourpassword [RETURN]
cd /var/debs/ [RETURN]
dpkg -b foldername [RETURN]
You will get 3 errors, but don't worry, it's completely fine.
13) Go back into iFile and drag-down to refresh the directory.
14) There should now be a .deb file.
15) Run it and choose Installer.
16) Congratulations. You just installed a cracked app without AppSync and without apps like AppAddict or AppCake.
More info:
- By installing an app using this method, the app will be installed through Cydia.
- You can go into Cydia and find your app in Packages in the Manage tab.
- Step #5 to step #12 is how to package a .deb file (how devs distribute their apps on Cydia).
- I typed this up because I was bored and it kept me busy.
