Xcode 7: Apple’s Xcode can be downloaded for free from the Mac App Store. The app’s source code: You’ll need an app’s source code to install it in this way. For example, GBA4iOS is an open-source Game Boy Advance emulator for iPhone and iPad. Its source code is available online. After downloading Xcode from the Mac App Store, you’ll need to launch it and add your Apple ID. Accounts pane, and enter your Apple ID details. There’s currently a bug you may encounter. You’ll now need to get an app’s source code into Xcode so you can build it and deploy it to your iPhone or iPad. Download the app’s source code and perform any required setup the app requires. We’ll use GBA4iOS as an example here. To download its source code and perform the required setup, open a Terminal window, copy-paste the following command, press Enter, and wait for the process to finish. You’ll then need to open the project or workspace in Xcode.
In Xcode, click “File,” select “Open,” and browse to the project or workspace file. If you ran the above commands after opening a new Terminal window, you’ll find the gba4ios folder in your home folder, and the project and workspace files inside it. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to your Mac with its included USB cable. You can then click the “Product” menu in Xcode, point to “Destination,” and select the physical device as its build destination. You’ll now need to generate a unique code signing signature for the app before you can build and install it. You’re now done. Click the “Play” button at the top-left corner of the Xcode window. Xcode will build the app, install it on your connected device, and launch it. If you see an error, Xcode has had a problem building the app. There’s a problem with the source code you loaded that needs to be fixed before the app will build and install. Assuming there are no errors, it should just work. This isn’t a complete solution for everyone who wants sideloading on iOS. It’s a rather involved process most people won’t want to use, doesn’t work with closed-source apps, and requires a Mac. It also won’t allow you to run certain types of apps — you can only use this to install apps that run within Apple’s sandbox. Jailbreaking is the only process that allows you to escape the sandbox, so not every app available to jailbreakers can be installed in this way.
