FlareStore — App Installer

What is the App Installer?

The App Installer is a quick-start tool for getting popular sideloading apps onto your device. Instead of hunting down IPA files, finding the right version, and manually signing them, the App Installer bundles the process into a few taps. Select the app you want (Feather, KSign, or other supported tools), choose a version, upload your signing certificate, and the installer signs and delivers the app ready for installation. Sideloading apps like Feather and KSign serve as on-device app managers. Once installed, they let you sign and install other IPA files directly from your iPhone or iPad without needing to use a computer or web browser each time. Think of them as your personal app store for sideloaded content.

Which App Should I Install?

Feather is the most popular choice for most users. It supports on-device IPA signing, app repository browsing, certificate management, and automatic re-signing when your certificate expires. It's actively maintained and has a clean, modern interface that works well on both iPhone and iPad. KSign is a lightweight alternative that focuses on core signing functionality. It's a good option if you prefer simplicity or have specific needs that Feather doesn't cover. Both apps require a valid signing certificate and Developer Mode enabled on your device (iOS 16+). If you don't have a certificate yet, visit the FlareStore Store to purchase one. Paid certificates are far more reliable than free alternatives and will keep your sideloading apps running without constant disruptions.
