User Guide

1. Pick the right tool

IPA Toolkit offers online and offline workflows. Use Online Sign / Online Edit when you want server-side processing, personal storage, and higher upload limits. Use Offline Sign / Offline Edit / Offline Analyze when you prefer keeping the package on your device and finishing the job in the browser. P12 tools (inspect, entitlements, password) work on their own—you do not need a full IPA first.

2. Online signing flow

Signed-in users get personal storage and higher limits; guests may have a smaller allowance (see on-page hints). Typical steps:

• On Files, upload the IPA plus a P12 certificate and matching mobileprovision profile;
• Optionally adjust Bundle ID, display name, icon, and related options;
• Start signing and wait for progress to finish;
• Download the signed IPA, or use an install link on a device (depends on your environment and certificate type).

3. Offline signing and analysis

Offline tools run in your local browser; packages are not uploaded by default. Use a recent desktop or mobile browser and leave enough memory for large IPAs.

• Open an offline sign/edit tool and select the IPA and certificate materials on your device;
• Finish signing or editing in the page, then download the result;
• Offline analyze and dylib tools inspect package structure and dependencies—they do not replace signing.

4. Certificates and provisioning profiles

Signing needs a matching P12 (with private key) and mobileprovision. Expired certs, wrong passwords, mismatched profiles, or a device UDID missing from the profile commonly cause sign or install failures. Use the on-site P12 tools to inspect the certificate first, and a UDID tool to confirm the device identifier.

5. Accounts, quotas, and privacy

Accounts manage personal storage, upload limits, and signing-related quotas. Online features may temporarily store files during processing and clean them up per service rules; offline tool data stays on your device by default. Do not upload unrelated or unnecessarily sensitive material. See the Terms of Service for the full policy.

6. Installing after signing

Install steps depend on certificate type and device environment (personal signing, enterprise, TrollStore-style tools, and so on). Use this site’s install page for a profile/link, or import the IPA into your usual installer. If install fails, check whether the certificate covers the device and OS version, then see the FAQ.
