Thread for installing IPA not working

I found a better method, using AppDB. It's sorta easier, no PC is required.

1: Getting Started

Go to AppDB and click 'Link your device'. Enter your email (or some random email even from a domain that doesn't exist, as this works too, like 98ehg@ewlkngweo.wegweg) It'll ask to download a profile. Click Accept.

2: Installation

Once you've done step one, go to settings and it should say 'Profile Downloaded'. If it doesn't follow these instructions. Profile downloaded people, wait please. Go through General >>> VPN and Device Management (or similar) and you'll see a thing to link your device to AppDB. Press that, enter your passcode if prompted and press next, next, trust.

3: Getting Flappy Bird

I don't have an IPhone here with me now, you'll have to use your brain for this.

Instead of the 'Link your device' thing, you'll see your phone name. Press that and go to MyAppStore. In that, you'll find Upload or Get From URL. Press either, I find uploading easier, just download the IPA from resources or a clone from GitHub and then press upload in AppDB. Locate the file and press it. It'll start uploading, and once it's finished scroll down and press 'Install'. If you want to see progress on installation, press cancel (which is weird. I think it should be the other way. Cancel, not okay. You'll see the download progress, Flappy Bird is small so it won't take long. Finally, you'll see something like 'dbservices.to wants to install Flappy Bird. You won't be charged.' Press install.

4: Done! Now start speedrunning!

I hope this helps. You can make it into a guide or something. I'm not good at writing guides, so if you want I'll summarise this with ChatGPT.
