Important!

Download this file from computer not directly from your iPhone or iPad otherwise you will get Safari cannot download this file or this.

You need to reinstall this file every week if your iPhone or iPad is not Jailbroken. This is due Apple Terms and Conditions of sideloading and it’s not related to Iris for iOS.

Download “Iris-0.0.3-iOS” Iris-0.0.3-iOS.ipa – 160.00 B

So first thing first Iris for iOS is not available in the AppStore. The reasons for this are many and doesn’t depend on me, but on Apple, because they don’t allow apps like Iris in the AppStore.

To install this version you need to do several things.

First, you need a PC. The good thing is that Xcode, Mac or Jailbreak is not needed.

Iris for iOS works on all iPhones and iPads including really old phones like iPhone 3 with iOS6 🙂

You can install Iris for iOS from Windows, Mac, and Linux.

First, connect your iOS device to your computer via a USB cable

This is required for Sideloading Iris to your device.
