It seems to me there's a lot of confusion going around about how to
install cracked apps... As a recent newbie myself, I found it
incredibly confusing, so I decided to write a set of instructions.. I
would suggest this or a similar post be made a Sticky at the top of the
forum to avoid a lot of repeat questions:
There are two methods as far as I know, the direct method (SSH copy) and the ipa/iTunes method. For both methods you must already have jailbroken your iphone and installed openssh. If you are unsure how to do this, please go find one of iClarified.com's iphone jailbreaking tutorials (e.g.: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1558)
Direct method:
1) Download the cracked game/app and extract the ApplicationName.app folder to your desktop.
2) Copy ApplicationName.app into /Applications via SSH or SFTP and set it's permissions to 755 (chmod 755 ApplicationName.app )
3) Create a folder called “Documents” in /var/mobile/ and set permissions to 777. (*only needs to be done once)
4) Reboot your iPhone
iTunes method:
This requires replacing a framework file on your iPhone first, but then makes the installation of apps very easy (double click on the mac/pc):
How to install Cracked IPA's:
1) Using SSH, navigate to: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/"
2) Backup the file "MobileInstallation.framework"
3) Download this patched file - http://rapidshare.com/files/133118635/M ... stallation
4) Copy the patched file over to "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/" set permissions to 755
5) Reboot your iPhone
To install .ipa apps, simply double click them and sync them with your iPhone!
