*3. Run ''Legacy iOS Kit'', then when prompted with "Press Enter/Return to continue", follow the instruction, then select "Sideload IPA".

*4. Select "Select IPA", then select "Install IPA". When it prompts for an Apple ID followed by your Apple Password, enter it. Create a new Apple ID for this use if concerned about privacy. If the ipa is cracked and compatible with the device, it should sideload properly.

*5. Alternatvely, on iOS 13 and under even without a jailbreak, selecting App Management, then Install IPA (AppSync) will let the device install any uncracked IPAs, although only IPAs from the same account as the currently signed-in account on the App Store will launch without any prompts. An install with this method works just like a regular App Store install without requiring resigning every week, but jailbreaking and installing ''AppSync Unified'' will be necessary for installing any cracked IPA with this method.

==Jailbreaking and further utilization afterwards==

'''Please avoid using ''3uTools''! It does not distribute the original jailbreaks and may not work properly.'''

[https://ios.cfw.guide/ ios.cfw.guide] has instructions for jailbreaks for a wide array of iOS versions, but note that the latest devices or iOS versions may be unsupported. Before using any method, if concerned about device safety, utilize a device that does not feature important data. As many jailbreaks utilize a sideloaded app, this means that the sideloading method above will work for such jailbreaks. For jailbreaks involving sideloading, install the relevant jailbreak IPA, follow the previous section, then run the app and press the Jailbreak button, repeating the process until ''Cydia'', ''Sileo'', or another similar package manager appears. For iOS versions that cannot be jailbroken with a sideloaded IPA, using ''[https://github.com/LukeZGD/Legacy-iOS-Kit/wiki/Jailbreaking-with-Legacy-iOS-Kit Legacy iOS Kit's]'' guide is ~~an option~~, ~~but I cannot vouch~~ for ~~it personally yet~~. In either case, once a package manager appears, the jailbreak is successful. Note that depending on the jailbreak used, resigning/sideloading the app used for the jailbreak again may be necessary upon powering off the device. If powering off the device normally, resigning the jailbreak is recommended.

IPA files can also be directly installed through ''Legacy iOS Kit'', by running it again, selecting App Management, selecting Install App (AppSync), then following step 4 of the installation section as usual.
