Thread: How to Put Applications on Your iDevice

Things you will need:
WinSCP
AppSync ( you can get this via the hackulos repo on cydia )
OpenSSH ( you can get this via cydia )
iTunes ( Everyone should have this allready )

Now to download your app:
1. Go to www.Apptrackr.org
2. Search for your desired app.
3. Save the application somewhere for ease of access. Your desktop for example.

Putting the app on your iDevice:
1. On your iDevice open settings>Wi-Fi then click the blue arrow next to your connected network and note down the ip address.

2. Open up WinSCP on your computer. Make sure that your idevice is connected to the same Wi-Fi connection as your computer.
Host name - put the IP which you noted down in step 1.
Username - root
Password - alpine
The file protocol should be SFTP and make sure that the "Allow SCP fallback" box is checked.
Click Login - If a warning appears just click yes.

You should see something like this:


3. To place an app with the .app extension navigate to /var/stash/applications and drag and drop the appname.app file.

4. To place an app with the .ipa extension make sure you have AppSync on your device and just double click the appname.ipa and iTunes will open up.

5. Make sure none of your applications already on the device get deleted by right clicking your device name in the bar to the left and select "Transfer Purchases".

6. Click on your device name and click on the Applications tab. Make sure all the applications are checked, and click Sync.

Now to change the permissions to get the app to work:
1. If you syncd an .ipa to your device via iTunes navigate to /var/mobile/applications.

2. Click on one of the weird names until you find the app you're looking for.

3. Right click the .app folder and click properties. Change the permissions to 0755 for Windows or 755 for Mac.

4. Go into the .app folder and select everything. Right click and select properties, then set the permissions as above.

5. If you SSH'd an .app to your device navigate to /var/stash/applications and continue from step 3 above

Now respring your device and your new app should be on your springboard.
