How to Install iOS IPA Files Using Cydia Impactor?

As Apple recently revoked many certificates, we had to think of and add a backup plan for downloading apps from Panda Helper. We have added a new option that allows you to download IPAs from Panda Helper Lite and install them to your devices using Cydia Impactor. There is no need to jailbreak your devices. You only need a computer. We understand that it’s not an easy and direct way to install apps, but in times like these, this additional option will help out most members until everything goes back to normal. And we are also working on making the Panda Helper app work normally again.

Notice: Panda Helper app is working normally again. Now you can download Panda Helper App from the official website.

Now follow the steps to download IPAs and install it using Cydia Impactor. Before that, there are a couple of things to know:

Important Notes:

  • Cydia Impactor does not require Jailbreak. It works on no jailbreak iDevices. It only needs a computer.
  • Cydia Impactor only supports installing up to 3 apps per device on a free Apple ID.
  • If you use a free Apple ID, the app certificate expires after 7 days and will need to be reloaded using Cydia Impactor – this will continue every 7 days.
  • If you use a paid developer Apple ID, your app certificate won’t expire for 12 months.
  • An Apple ID without two-factor authentication is required for this installation.
