Installation guide.
Prepare your iPhone, install the app, and set up your game files.
Get the current IPA and build-specific instructions from our Discord server.
Before you start
Have your iPhone, a valid app-signing method, and a legitimate copy of the game ready. Read the release post in our Discord server before choosing an IPA or file set.
- Check the exact iPhone model on the Compatibility page.
- Confirm the required iOS version and game-file format for the release you will install.
- Keep your game files on the device and allow additional space for installation and extraction.
- Back up existing saves before replacing or reinstalling an app.
About the checker guidelines
Our checker flags installed RAM below 6 GB and uses iOS 16+ and about 30 GB free as planning values. These are conservative website guidelines, not verified minimums for every build. The team’s release instructions take priority.
Install the app
Get the current community release.
Open our Discord server and follow the team’s release post to obtain the IPA. Check its version and included setup notes.
Set up your signing method.
Use an installer that supports importing IPA files, such as SideStore or AltStore Classic. Follow the installer’s current setup instructions for your iOS version. Complete its Apple Account, trust, and Developer Mode requirements when applicable.
Import and install the IPA.
Open the installer’s app-management screen, choose its import or add option, and select the downloaded IPA. Finish signing before opening the installed app.
Check signing validity.
Use the expiry and refresh information shown by your installer. Keep the app refreshed so its signature remains valid.
Installer setup can change between versions. The tool documentation below provides its current procedure.
Set up your game files
Transfer files from your own copy of the game to local iPhone storage. In Files, use On My iPhone for the game folder rather than relying on cloud-only files.
Use the directory structure and file version specified in the community release notes. Open the installed app, select or import the folder using the controls available in that build, and complete any file checks it provides.
Folder names, archive support, and automatic file detection can differ between builds. If files are missing, verify the release instructions before moving or renaming them.
Ask our community for the correct file layoutLow-memory devices and iRAM+
When RAM is marked Critical, consider iRAM+ as an optional memory-limit tool. It can enable Increased Memory Limit and Extended Virtual Addressing for eligible sideloaded apps.
iRAM+ supports apps signed with an Apple Account, not public enterprise certificates. It does not increase physical RAM or guarantee that a 3–4 GB iPhone can run the game.
Install iRAM+ using its published instructions.
Obtain the current IPA from the tool’s website.
Use the app’s signing account.
In iRAM+, sign in with the Apple Account used to sign the game app. Select the corresponding app and request Increased Memory Limit.
Reinstall and verify.
Follow the tool’s instructions to reinstall the modified app, then verify the entitlement or app-reported memory limit. Back up saves first.
Updates and saves
Read the update notes before installing a newer IPA. Back up saves and confirm whether the release supports an in-place update with your existing app identity and signing method.
Do not assume reinstalling will preserve data. Avoid deleting the existing app until your files are backed up and you understand the update procedure.
Troubleshooting
The app closes while loading.
Reduce graphics and memory-intensive options where available. Check local storage, app-signing status, and file completeness. On a Critical RAM model, review the iRAM+ section; this may not resolve a hardware memory limit.
The installer cannot sign or open the app.
Check the installer’s error code, signing-account status, and expiry. Use its official troubleshooting instructions. For a release-specific error, ask our Discord community.
Which information should I include in a support request?
Include your exact iPhone model, iOS version, IPA version, installer, available storage, and the error message. Share an app log if your build offers one. Never post passwords, account tokens, or signing credentials.
