AltDeploy

Last Updated on 2 years by admin

AltDeploy IPA side loader released by @pixelomer as Cydia Impactor alternative. This will help you to sideload the IPA files on iPhone, iPad or iPod. However, this is only available for MAC users. Also, AltDeploy supports native dark mode in macOS Mojave and later.

Download AltDeploy 

Currently, this project is available on pixelomarr’s GitHub page. Further, he used code from iOS developer Riles’ AltServer in this project.

How it works

AltDeploy interface and the process is the same as the Cydia impactor. That is when connecting iOS devices with the MAC, it allows you to choose an .IPA file that you want to side-load.

Then selecting your device and .IPA file, It will install a Mail.app add-on. You need to enable it from the Mail app’s preferences. This Mail app must be open the entire time you use AltDeploy.

Then you need to sign the app with your Apple ID and password, the same as Cydia impactor. It is recommended to create a fake or ‘burner’ Apple ID. Never put your true credentials.

We have personally tested AltDeploy and it works perfectly with Unc0ver IPA. 

Why do you need Cydia impactor alternative?

Cydia impactor is a unique IPA side loader. It is developed by Cydia developer Saurik. It has been functioning for a long time to install IPA files on iOS devices. However, it is not updating both Cydia and Cydia impactor regularly. 

Every Jailbreak tool needs to use Cydia impactor sideload Jailbreak IPA. A Couple of months ago Chimera and unc0ver jailbreak apps have experienced quite an issue with Cydia Impactor. Saurik promised to fix Cydia Impactor errors last November, but up to now he did not attend to fix this error. So, it is necessary to use an alternative for Cydia impactor. As a result of that AltDeploy has been released. 

We hope AltDeploy might serve as one of the better Cydia impactor alternatives.
