The engineering notes describe an A12-family chip and at least 4 GB of RAM. A12 support is experimental in the 24 October evening and 25 October releases. Begin with Battery Saver on 4 GB devices. Check the requirements for the exact build you install. Read the hardware notes

The 17 October release introduced iOS 16.3+ support. iOS 16, iOS 17, and iPhone 11 were still untested in those release notes. Check later build instructions and reported issues before installing. Read the release notes

Android is not supported by this project. You can still explore the website and join the Discord community.

The engineering notes report working iPad support. The 25 October update also provides a first Mac test for Apple silicon M1 or later on macOS 14+. Use the Mac archive and its README rather than the iOS IPA. View platform details

The checker uses a conservative 6 GB planning guideline, not a verified release minimum. A Critical label highlights limited memory headroom. Installed RAM is different from the memory iOS actually allows the signed app to use. Review your device profile

No. The device profile comes from your welcome answers. You can enter iOS and free-storage details yourself. The page compares these against planning guidelines. It does not scan physical hardware, run a benchmark, or certify that a build will work.

Sign and install the IPA using the instructions for your build. Preserve the requested entitlements and review any data setup steps. Release notes say existing game data and saves remain when updating; keep a backup before reinstalling or changing signing methods. Open the installation guide

No. The 18 October patch is a one-time setup for the matching data. Put GTAV_patch alongside GTAV in On My iPhone › GTA V. The next launch applies and removes it. If you already completed that setup, later notes say not to copy it again. Read the full patch instructions

The patch expects the 16 October data, with update/update2.rpf shown as 277.8 MB in Files. If the game reports a mismatch, remove GTAV_patch and send the Logs folder to support. Do not keep applying a patch to mismatched data.

The movies folder enables TVs, the Lifeinvader presentation, and screens in cutscenes. Unzip movies.zip (84 MB) in Files and move its movies folder into GTA V › GTAV. Follow the matching download’s README. Review the one-time setup

Yes. From the launcher, choose Data › Import Save and select an SGTA5… file and a slot. The 22 October notes say a replaced save is kept in Replaced saves. Back up important saves before importing. Read about save imports

Yes. Choose Launcher › Settings › HUD & Controls › Edit, or use Edit controls in the pause menu. Layouts change with the game context. The 21 October release added layout sharing and importing. View touch-control updates

The 25 October notes include controller navigation in the launcher and trainer, plus PC-style keyboard and mouse controls on iPhone and iPad. Touch controls hide during keyboard and mouse use; tap the screen to bring them back. New input behavior still needs feedback. Read the input notes

Open Launcher › HUD & Controls. Vertical Mode offers Full Screen and Dual Screen layouts in the 24 October release. The launcher also includes Cutscene Black Bars and Cutscene Depth of Field options in the relevant builds. Explore launcher changes

No. The 24 October release describes the Mods tab as a preview that lists files in GTA V › GTAV › mods. Functional mod support is planned for a later release. Check newer release notes before installing mods.

Send the whole GTA V › Logs folder, including crash-*.txt, run.log, and run.prev.log when available. Include the build date, device, iOS version, and what you were doing. Mac logs are in ~/Library/Logs/GTA5. Ask for help on Discord

Start with Battery Saver and review the memory available to the signed app. The 21 October build adjusts settings to the memory iOS grants, rather than physical RAM alone. Optional iRAM+ guidance is available for eligible Apple-account-signed apps. It does not add physical RAM or guarantee stability. Read the memory guidance

No fixed frame rate is guaranteed. Performance changes with the chip, settings, signing-related memory limits, and thermal conditions. The engineering notes describe different results at different development stages and workloads. Read the performance context

The 18 October notes explain that Windowed with VSync Half capped the game at 30 FPS, and changed the defaults to Fullscreen and VSync Off. Later builds add limiter options for higher-refresh screens. Check your launcher settings and build notes; a higher limit does not guarantee the matching FPS. Review display-setting changes
