Sideloadly Method

Sideloading Nuvio offers a few extra features. To get started choose one of the methods below.

1. Install Sideloadly

   • Download and install Sideloadly on your Mac or Windows PC. (Windows users: You still need the direct-download versions of iTunes and iCloud installed from Apple's website, not the Microsoft Store).

2. Connect your iPhone:

   • Plug your phone into your computer via USB.
   • Unlock it and tap Trust This Computer if prompted.

3. Load the IPA file

   • Open Sideloadly on your computer. Drag and drop your downloaded .ipa file directly into the Sideloadly window, or click the IPA icon on the left to browse your computer for the file.

4. Enter Apple ID and Start:

   • Type your Apple ID email into the designated box.
   • Click the Start button at the bottom. A prompt will appear asking for your Apple ID password — enter it so Sideloadly can request the signing certificate from Apple.

5. Trust the developer profile: Required to launch the app.
