Version 1.26.52.3
- For iPhone and iPad (IPA)
i
The original game, installed outside the App Store with a sideloading tool such as AltStore or Sideloadly. The steps are under How to install.
- Download the IPA of the version you want.
- Install it with a sideloading app such as AltStore or Sideloadly, signed with your own Apple ID.
- On the iPhone or iPad, trust your developer profile in Settings → General → VPN & Device Management (on iOS 16 and later, also turn on Developer Mode in Settings → Privacy & Security), then open Minecraft.
- With a free Apple ID the signature lasts 7 days, so re-sign it in the same tool when it expires; a paid developer account lasts a year.
Do I need a jailbreak?
No. iOS runs any app signed with an Apple ID it trusts, and the sideloading tool signs this one with yours.
Do I lose my worlds when the 7 days run out?
No. The app only stops opening; once it is re-signed, it opens with your worlds where you left them.
Can I sign in with my Microsoft account?
No. Microsoft sign-in does not work on sideloaded installs, so Realms, Marketplace and Xbox friends are out. Single-player and local worlds work.
