Hi, This is an illegal operation. Why do you need it? ---

hi Why is it illegal? We do not have access to Apple’s App Store in our country and we have to use [a different store] instead of it to publish the ios apps. Is not there a way to release an app on this App Store? ---

Officially, you can install ipa from the AppStore. But downloading an unofficial ipa on iOS from other sources or downloading ipa from a device is only possible when using a hacked device. ---

Can these hacked apps hurt my device or downloaders? If not, please name one of these programs ---

Unofficial ipa can be good, but I don’t know how to install it on the official iPhone. ---

Hi, to obtain the app you selected on Thunkable X IDE “Download | Download the iOS App”. After that you will receive an email with a link to the application. You need to open this message on your iOS device, for example, on your iPhone, download the application by reference and install it as it is written in the Thunkable X documentation. Why do you open a link to Mac OS? ---

Solution is try something else, like PWA or just buy a a template if you looking at simple app like webviewer. Thunkable is not ready. ---

Hi @asifkamal1, We don’t allow you to download an .ipa file because we have a feature that allows you to [publish directly from Thunkable X](https://docs.thunkable.com/publish-to-app-store-ios) Hope that helps. ---

I see that many members have posted this question, but no answers make them happy. 1. We need the IPA file can be downloaded and located in our own storage. And then, we can share it via any things ex: Messanger, Telegram, Facebook… or upload it to other app store (Not apple store). 2. Thunkable send us the link to download, but the link is allowed to download and install right now in IOS. It is not possibled for download and keep in our own storage. We can not share the link to other for downloading because this link is available for 24 hours only. 3. You do not allow us to download ipa file, so can you help us to publish on other app store (Not apple store)? ---
