Cách Cài Đặt Ứng Dụng Không Có Trên App Store

Apple's App Store is the primary source for apps on iPhones and iPads, offering a curated and secure environment. However, there are legitimate reasons to install apps unavailable on the App Store. This process, known as "sideloading," requires caution and understanding the potential risks. Here are two common methods for installing apps not found on the App Store:

Sử Dụng TestFlight (Dành Cho Phiên Bản Beta)

TestFlight is Apple's official platform for developers to distribute beta versions of their apps to testers. This is a safe and legitimate way to access pre-release versions of apps. Here's how:

1. Nhận Lời Mời: The developer must invite you to test their app via TestFlight. This typically involves providing your email address associated with your Apple ID.
2. Tải TestFlight: Download the TestFlight app from the App Store (it's a free app).
3. Chấp Nhận Lời Mời: Open TestFlight and accept the invitation. You'll see the app available for installation.
4. Cài Đặt Ứng Dụng: Tap "Install" to download and install the app.

TestFlight apps often have an orange dot next to their name to indicate they are beta versions. Remember that beta versions may be unstable and contain bugs. TestFlight apps typically expire after 90 days, requiring you to update to a newer build or the final release.

Sử Dụng Cydia Impactor (Đòi Hỏi Kiến Thức Kỹ Thuật)

Lưu ý quan trọng: This method is significantly more complex and carries greater risks. It involves "sideloading" apps using tools like Cydia Impactor (though Cydia Impactor itself may not always be functional due to Apple's restrictions). This method requires a developer account (which may require payment) and carries the risk of installing malicious software if you are not careful about the source of the IPA file.

Here's a simplified overview of the process (use at your own risk):

• Tải IPA File: Obtain the IPA file (the app's installation package) from a trustworthy source. Be extremely cautious about downloading IPA files from unknown websites.
• Tải Cydia Impactor (If Available): Download Cydia Impactor from a reputable source (if it's still functional). Note that Cydia Impactor's functionality has been inconsistent.
• Kết Nối Thiết Bị: Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer.
• Sideload IPA File: Use Cydia Impactor (or a similar tool) to sideload the IPA file onto your device. This typically involves dragging and dropping the IPA file onto the Cydia Impactor window and entering your Apple ID credentials.
• Trust Developer Profile: After installation, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management (or Device Management) and trust the developer profile associated with the sideloaded app.

Cảnh Báo Quan Trọng

Sideloading apps outside the App Store carries significant risks:

• Security Risks: You may inadvertently install malicious software that could compromise your device and data.
• Stability Issues: Sideloaded apps may be unstable and cause crashes or other problems.
• Warranty Voidance: Sideloading apps may void your device's warranty.
• Apple Revocation: Apple can revoke the certificates used to sign sideloaded apps, rendering them unusable. You may need to reinstall them periodically.

Therefore, exercise extreme caution when sideloading apps. Only install apps from trusted sources, and be aware of the potential risks involved. Consider using TestFlight whenever possible, as it's a safer and more reliable alternative.
