| Certain sideloading applications exist which can let you install IPA packages to your device such as AltStore (https://altstore.io/) and Sideloadly (https://sideloadly.io/). Using such a sideloading application, install the .ipa file to your iDevice. | ||

This doesn't work. It has to be placed inside the application next to the executable.
