You need to download this file from the PC or Mac, not from your iOS phone

New Guide for installation 2019.10

Old guide 2018

We have a full walkthrough of installing including the bugs and problems I went through when trying to do so:

You already have a current iOS development certificate error

App Specific Password required

This happens when Apple Developer certificate is expired and you need to contact the developer

Ignore this it’s already installed. In project settings, it should be with “”

You may get this error if you disable 2-factor authentication

    1. Hi Mathew,
      The versions for macOS and for iOS are different

      The zip file is for macOS and you can download it from here:
      https://iristech.co/iris/

      The .ipa file is for iOS installation and again you need to download it on your Macbook or PC but you upload it to your iPhone/iPad/iOS device via Cydia Impactor as shown here:
      https://iristech.co/iris-ios/

      I also did an updated tutorial for installation in 2019 πŸ™‚
      There were some changes like 2-factor authentication that were not present in 2018 and the tutorial on the page was outdated

  1. Hi,

    I am in great need of this on my IPad. Love this! My eyes have been hurting as well as other family members and we are glad to find it. Thank you so much. I am having an issue with an error Peer certificate can not be authenticated. Are you familiar with this one? http-win.cpp; line: 182 . I will try and research some more, just did not know if you get me there faster.

    Thanks so much,

    Alison

  2. Hi! First of all, I really like the app. Very convenient and helpful. Good job!
    Second of all, I got an error like shown in the “This happens when Apple Developer certificate is expired and you need to contact the developer” heading. I’ve tried deleting and revoking the ID with Cydia and it worked (the certificate’s gone). But then, I still get the same error message whenever I try to reinstall the app.

    1. Hi Bown,
      Glad you’re enjoying the app and sorry for the inconvenience
      That seems to be a recurring problem with Apple devices, perhaps try to contact Apple support to verify your certificate on their end so you don’t get the message anymore

    2. Hi Bown,
      Sorry for the unhelpful response

      I did an updated tutorial for installing Iris on your iOS device for 2019
      You can see it on the Iris for iOS page here:
      https://iristech.co/iris-ios/

      Or directly on YouTube here:
      https://youtu.be/EdoHN3zwqmc

      The videos on this page were for 2018 but Apple made some changes like forcing 2-factor authentication and app-specific passwords which complicate the process even more. We are working on improving the installation and reducing the steps to be more easy to install

  3. I’m getting the “failed to verify code signature….” error. Your note above says “This happens when Apple Developer certificate is expired and you need to contact the developer”, but I’m not sure what this means. Who is the Apple Developer and why do I need to contact them? Is there a way to get around this error so I can install IRIS?

    1. Hi Nicole,
      This is an issue with the Apple product. Try writing to their support staff or reinstalling the program

  4. I have tried to install the Impactor program for my Ipad mini but even after following the troubleshooting video and deleting the requirement for a developer, I keep getting the following:

    The Network Extensions feature is only available to users enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.

    Then it says to enroll in the program. But I don’t want to be a developer. So how do I get around this error?

    Thank you. Susan Artz

    1. Hi Susan,
      Can you try downloading the Impactor on your PC and try installing Iris through the computer on your iPad?

  5. Hello,

    I downloaded it onto my iphone, and allowed the phone to trust it. However, when I open Iris, it opens for 1 second then closes. Do you know what I can do to fix this? Thank you!

  8. Hi,

    I have followed your most recent Iris to iPhone instructions however I receive the following error:

    file: installer.ccp; line: 71; what:

    I am not sure if it could be an iTunes issues because I’ve had iTunes installed on my laptop long before downloading Iris so I never go the prompt to allow it access. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
