FlareStore for macOS

STEP 1

Install the FlareStore App

The FlareStore macOS app can be directly installed without a certificate. Download it from here.

If you see "Apple couldn't verify the app...", go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, find FlareStore macOS, and click Allow.
STEP 2

Certificate Setup

While the FlareStore macOS app itself doesn't need a certificate, you still need a signing certificate to sign IPAs. You can purchase certificates at FlareStore.vip.

If you installed FlareStore on another device through the FlareStore Signer, the certificate you signed it with should be imported inside of FlareStore automatically.

If not, to add a certificate manually:

  1. Open the FlareStore app and go to Settings > Certificates > Add Certificate
  2. Add the P12 and Mobile Provision
  3. Enter the password of the P12 if there is one
STEP 3

Import an IPA

Find an IPA file from the web, then go to the home page of the FlareStore app, select the + Import button, and select the IPA.

You can also add a Repository source that follows the AltStore, SideStore, or ESign repository formats to browse and download apps directly within FlareStore.
STEP 4

Sign the IPA

After importing or downloading an IPA file, go to the Library tab, select the IPA you want to sign, then press the Sign button.

If you want to apply edits before signing, press the Edit button to modify traits such as Bundle ID, app name, app icon, and more.

STEP 5

Install to Your Mac

After successfully signing an IPA file, press the Install button and it will install the IPA directly. The installed app will appear in your Applications folder.

If the install prompt fails to show or you get an error about domain lookup, ensure that your ad blocker, ISP, or VPN is not blocking *.flarestore.vip and localhost.flarestore.vip. If whitelisting doesn't work, try using the 1.1.1.1 DNS app from the App Store for installs.
