Okay mom, first thing you need to do is install Xcode...

  There's cydia impactor which is much more straightforward. It only needs your apple id and an IPA.

    Unless you have a paid developer account you will have to reload every 7 days.

  ...on a MacBook - I forgot to tell you - you have to buy first.
  - briandear 7y ago
    You also need an iOS device too. Crazy.

      Is that a rebuttal? That makes no sense: as it is the target platform, of course it is required. The point was I don't need a Chromebook to develop Android applications. I don't need a Microsoft Surface laptop to develop Windows software. Somehow, Apple requires you to buy their expensive hardware to develop for their platform. There's no technical reason you couldn't just get their OS and development tools; they just want you to shell out for overpriced x86 hardware along with those.

  Unless your mom seriously understands the security implications of sideloading, she should probably just stick with the App Store.
- briandear 7y ago
  What kind of app is your mom needing that wouldn’t be App Store approved?
  - noisem4ker 7y ago
    HKMap maybe? Did you just forget the main topic? Or are you insinuating that protestors fighting their regime must also be expert at hacking electronic devices?

Not like a normal app. Not like an android phone. I will never get an iPhone until I can install whatever apps I want.

    This website is full of people openly stating that they'll never switch away from their beloved Apple devices until competitors catch up with privacy protection, OS updates or what else. Somehow, one opinion going the opposite direction (for instance, Leader2light's) appears once in a while and quickly gets greyed to death. This bias is plainly disgusting to me.

XCode runs on iPhone? Edit: It looks like you need a Mac computer to do this.
- twothumbsup 7y ago
  yes, for that exact method you need xcode. there's other methods.
