How to download .ipa files onto new ipad I just bought the new ipad 10th gen, and still have a LOT of .ipa files from old ipads i had previously. I wanna download these games / programmes again as most cannot be found on the app store OR cost money now, even though i had bought or downloaded them, when thes were free. what are ALL the possible solutions available ? I come from android and tried a bunch of things that SHOULD work, with no success…. Help ? ps : some of the programmes come from 10/+ years ago. Any way i can start / use these ? Maybe via an emulator on my new ipad or my laptop, or just by installing them onto my ipad somehow (itues didnt work…) ty in advance

Install my own IPA file on Mac M1 without Xcode I have a Developer Account and created a few web-view apps. I installed them on my Mac at home using Xcode. I'm on the road without access to unlimited data. I have the IPA files (and the Xcode files), but don't want to consume a ton of data downloading Xcode. Is there a way to install these on my Laptop?

Usual path to load apps (apps are a container with an IPA file type) is via the App Store, or via Xcode or Playgrounds app, or via TestFlight. Here? Ask whoever provided the IPA files to you. I’m not aware of a supported means to load a random IPA on current iOS and iPadOS versions, short of bypassing iOS or iPadOS security.
