User Reviews

Installer.appInstaller.app (aka AppTapp) downloads packages over WiFi (wireless networking) or EDGE for installing, updating and uninstalling 3rd party native applications on your iPhone. Warning! use at your own risk. There are both a version for Mac with OSX and one for Windows. There is currently also a catalogue of available apps available maintained by a couple of repository and listings websites. Read the install instructions here and a tutorial is posted here and here as well.

Hint: Once you have installed Installer.app be sure to install the app called “Community Sources”. This app adds a few of the popular 3rd party application lists (Conceited Software and Ste Packaging) to your sources section, which has the affect of dramatically increasing the number of apps you can install. Here is a full list of all Installer.app sources.

Update: A brand new version of Installer has been released under the name Installer 4.0 which now supports the new 2.0 iPhone software and 3G iPhones. The 4.0 version delivers a brand new user interface and added functionality similar to that of Cydia. This verion of installer is in beta mode but you can install it manually at this time using these steps. Installer.app 4.0

1. Jailbreak your iPhone 2.0 software if you have not already using either QuickPwn for Windows or PwnageTool for Mac.
2. Download Installer 4.0 here and unzip it
3. SCP the Installer.app folder into your /Applications folder.
4. Change Permissions by running these 2 commands:
chmod -R 777 /Applications/Installer.app
chmod a+srx /Applications/Installer.app/Installer

5. Turn off your iPhone or iPod Touch and turn it back on and should now see the new Installer 4.0 app on your home screen. There is a video demo of this process here:

Once you have Installer 4.0 installed, you can add some new apps using the following Installer 4.0 source URLs.

More details on Installer 4.0 to come.

The fastest and easiest way to install Installer on your iPhone is using QuickPwn. Here is a great video tutorial on installing and using Installer.app with WinPwn

Also take a look at this entertaining video by by David Pogue from the The New York Times. He takes you on a tour of using Installer.app to get third-party programs running on the iPhone.

There is another similar Mac OSX software called independence which can also be used to jailbreak your iPhone. The Windows PC equivalent of Installer.app is iBrickr.

Note: As of now Installer.app does not work on iPod touch, or iPhone updated with 1.1.1.

Update: To jailbreak your iPod touch you can use iJailBreak (Mac) or touchFree (Win).

Update:Installer.app v. 3.1 Installer.app version 3.1 has been released which includes a fully redesigned user interface to match the iPhone look and feel, collapsible groups, and firmware auto-sensing. Now you can also add/remove sources easily and easily install all available updates. This version still does not work if you have already upgraded to iPhone v1.1.1. before jail breaking. Also this version requires that you upgrade to 1.1.1 after you get it installed on your 1.0.2, for it to work smoothly.

Update: If you have a virgin iPhone with the 1.1.1 updates you can use iNdependence (Mac) or iDemocracy (Win).

    A new Installer.app software has been develped by “lg” called Summerboard which cusomizes “SpringBoard”, the home screen application you see every time you power on your iPhone. It allows you to scroll your apps list icons. A demo video is available. You can install it using Installer.app

    hey will this work on my iPod touch????

    if so can someone tell me what to do because its definitely not working at all… i let it go for 50 mins and then i got tired of waiting…

    Kerry says:

    I would try this tip from the Installer.app site: “NOTICE for version 2.4: If you find that the install hangs, you may want to remove the iPhone from the Dock and reinsert it. This occurs because iTunes sometimes interferes with the operation. This issue has been fixed in the new 3.0 installer for iTunes 7.4.”

    And also make sure you have the right matching version of iTunes.

    WARNING: don’t use until they have a version STRICTLY STATING that it’s for the iPod Touch. i tried that version 3 and it ended up crashing mine. consequently, i lost all my data and had to do a factory restore.

    thankfully, there wasn’t much to lose on it.

    On Sept. 24th Apple released this statement “Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.”

    Are referring to installing apps or to people who are actually unlocking and changing the carrier and all?

    Not without some additional hacking at this point:

    There is a program called TouchFree (one-click jailbreak for Windows) for iPod touch you might want to try.

    I tried installing twice, first on version 1.02, and then on version 1.1. Each time it did not get past the install 2-3 minutes window. And did I wait? YES, 2 hours… What is going on? I have yet to see a clearer explanation, but now I have to find one that works.

    jbr says:

    touchFree (see above) worked fantastically for me on my iPod Touch, no problems at all. If you’re having trouble, try totally resetting your iPod and then running touchFree (if you use windows, that is!). TouchFree installs Apptapp, summerboard, and OpenSSH automatically, so you’ll never need iBrickr or command lines.

    First of all, let me congratulate you guys for an awesome app for the iphone!! unfortunately I’ve been having some issues in order to install the program on my iphone again. I tried two ways, first, using safari on my iphone, I go to jailbreakme.com, follow steps but it doesn’t install program, then I followed the instructions using My mAc on http://iphone/nullriver.com/beta; after following instructions in detail, these messages appeared: THE APPLICATION IPHONECOMM QUIT UNEXPECTEDLY, (I Clicked Relaunch) , and another window appeared telling me: ERROR: BOOTSTRAP FAILED, SEE CONSOLE TAG, and then kicked me off and my iphone requested to be restored again.

    I hope you can help us to solve this issue soon,

    For the people who get the yellow triangle and a message that says you are in recovery mode. You should not have to restore. All you need to do is run independence or the one for windows and your phone will come out of the recovery mode. Hope that helps a little.

    Steven says:

    I have a work around for those with Macs who get the bootstrap error message when trying to install Installer.app for ver. 1.0.2 where you have to download the installer package. It’s brutally simple. First, you need to download iNdependence http://code.google.com/p/independence/ . Plug your iPhone into your computer. I’m assuming your phone is jailbroken and has SSH installed. (If not iNdependence is the best kept secret on how to go about doing this). Go to Customize, Applications, User. Next find and right click the Installer.app and click on Show Package Contents. Go into the Resources folder and find the actual Installer.app. Drag it to the Applications/User window of iNdependence and drop it in. You’re done. Installer.app is now on your iPhone.

    Is there a Manual install of installer.app via SSH for 1.1.1 ???

    i was in the process of updating installer.app running 1.1.1 and was not sure if it updated. after a shutdown and restart of the iPhone installer launches for 1 second nothing appears and then goes back to springboard.

    I tried going to jailbreakme.com and selected install AppSnapp so as to re-install, but i only get the blue question mark, but I have never ran the tiff exploit fix.??
    i have about 95 apps dirs installed when i SSH into my phone but all was running fine before this.

    I do not want to have to restore.

    How can i manually install installer.app via SSH? Any links to the download or tutorial?

    MrCyberdude says:

    OK i have a solution that worked for me….
    I am not sure how it happened, either from the installer or my own mistake but when i SSH’d into my iPhone i discovered that i had my entire Application Directory replicated within the Application directory. Very strange..
    ..
    Before i discovered this i could not successfully copy the Installer.app folder into the Application directory. After removing the duplicate directory i had no problems at all and next reboot all was well…
    ..
    It is possible that if the folder Installer.app is replicated anywhere else within the Applications folder this may cause issues.
    ..
    I have 1.1.1 using WinXP via wifi and used the http://hackthatphone.com/downloads/Installer.zip for a fresh copy of Installer_3.09b.
    My settings for copying with winscp406.exe were to copy with settings on binary and permissions set to 0755.
    ..
    Hope that helps.

    What i also found that helped was to ssh in
    and start deleting a couple of the Applications
    folders that i did not need… Try this first to
    make some more space in the system area.

    Then hunt down an app called BossTool
    from ModMyiFone.com
    This will give you the option to move things
    like Fonts and Ringtones and that automaticly
    gave me back around 80MB on the original
    300Mb OS partition.

    There is even an option to move all Applications
    to the 7440MB partition

    kat says:

    UGH! its been 3 days but i have FINALLY figured it out. for people with V1.1.3
    ok… go to www.modmyifone.com and click on DL. then click on firmware. then click iphone firmware 1.1.1. save that to your desk top. then google “apptapp Installer.” i dont remember where i got that from but its not hard to find.
    now you are ready…
    connect your phone to itunes. press the power button and the home key to put your phone in recovery mode. (a plug and itunes picture will appear on your phone) then click on the iphone. there you will see a button “RESTORE”
    hold down shift key (PC users, mac useres ALT) hold shift and click restore while holding down shift. look for the 1.1.1 resore file you DLed earlier click open. and then itunes should restore the phone. after it restores it will give you an error (error number 1505 or something like that) then don not close itunes. open apptapp, click continue, and click on V1.0.2 and then install. then the phone will do a couple of thngs and then it will go back into normal mode. slide the phone to make an emergency call. dial *#301# you will call yourself. then pick up, press hold, then hang up. then click on contacts, add new contact, new URL then type in “prefs:” without the “”. then save. then new URL then type in jailbreakme.com then save, then save again. and press home. unlock th ephone to make an emergency call again and dial 0 and call. pick up put on hold and then hang up. then click contactss. then it will say “no name” click on that and click on prefs: and then click ok auto lock, set that to NEVER and then go back to setteings and click on wifi and set up your wifi then press home. then go back to the emergency screen and unlock. dial 0 again, answer, put on hold, and hang up. click ok the no name file and now click on jailbreakme.com. once you get to there. go all the way down and clicl on the last thing. after that your phone will restart and BWALA you have installer! if you have questions write back. i will tell youexactly what to do. this took me 3 days! i kept having trouble. good luck

  100. 100
    kat says:

    oh yea one more thing…. and when you DL the apptapp at the end it will give you an error. “sending to iphone failed: IGNORE THAT and follow the steps. hope those steps are clear. its 5am and ive been trying to do this alll night.

    Brandon says:

    the new jailbreak for the 1.1.4 firmware is called ziphone. this worked the best for me and all my friends use it. it is a very fast process, and i do not know anyone who has crashed their ipod or iphone using this yet. this program will jailbreak your ipod very easily, and all you have to do is update your ipod to the latest firmware, plug it in, sync it, and open up this program. do the jailbreak, and u are all set! VERY IMPORTANT! IF YOUR IPOD OR IPHONE BY ANY CHANCE FREEZES AND U CANT DO ANYTHING, SET IT INTO FACTORY RESTORE MODE BY HOLDING THE HOME AND POWER BUTTON! keep holding them, and your ipod will restart with the logo that u see when u first get your ipod. this erases all of your data, but gets rid of any problems giving you a fresh new ipod. hope this helps :D

    Beware. I can open programs but do nothing else. Anyone else have this problem?

  136. 136
    Brandon says:

    yes, people beware of the kate app… it froze my ipod and some other people i know as well. iono why. im trying to figure it out. I wouldnt install this app until its tested more. if you have already done this and gotten stuck hold the home and power button until the icon appears (the same icon as when you turn on your ipod for the first time). this will erase everything but solve your problem.

  137. 137
    Brandon says:

    sorry i forgot to write this in my last post. once you get the icon on your screen you will need to plug it into your computer and it will lead you into a restore mode and then resync your ipod. then just jailbreak it again and you are good to go :) good luck

    I recently purchased and unlocked an iPhone using iLiberty+ (1.1.4) with no problems.

    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Brandon says:

    Robo Robbie,

    use the ziphone program which i talked about a couple posts earlier. it can jailbreak and add installer to either the ipod touch or the iphone. if you really want a tutorial, i think that http://youtube.com/watch?v=aqvQI9jvDYo does a pretty good job of explaining it. good luck :)

    LENO says:

    HELP! INSTALLER won’t load anymore! starts up, breifly tries to update sources then resets back to summerboard.??
    HISTORY: i’ve had my ipod touch for since december and jailbroke it right away. Didn’t have any problems downloading games and useful apps. i kept my version at 1.1.2. to avoid problems with itunes trying to lock me out of my 3rd party apps. BUT recently i’ve had more and more trouble downloading the applications(mostly games) that i wanted.
    First i would get an error msg “download failed: can;t connect to host” fair enough
    Next i’d try to install games and the package would download but instead of sliding back to packages screen, installer would crash and reset back to summerboard.
    Finally now when i try to open Installer it just crashes, and occationally it will open? but then i try to download an app, crashes, back at square one.
    If anyone has any info on at least what is happening and how i can fix this it would be much appriciated, even with a donation.

  145. 145
    Brandon says:

    hey LENO. my advice… restore your ipod… update to 1.1.4, and use my above post, and download ziphone. then jailbreak your ipod. i kno its a hassle to reinstall everything but its worth it. a lot of stuff in incompatible with 1.1.2. i did the same thing u did for a while but it was annoying that I couldnt download stuff. so ya… my advice is to restore your ipod, update to 1.1.4, and jailbreak using ziphone. it works great. if you are unsure on how to do this, there is a youtube video. good luck. leave another comment if you still need help :)

    Hi Brandon i have a problem i installed the installer on my iphone but i didnt know that it was anumber of apps by page and i installed alot of without installing the app tha allows u to get more pages of apps and now i cant see the installer because there were to much things that the last thing taht i install it overwrite the installer or something like that what do i have to do

  147. 147
    Brandon says:

    i dont have the application that lets you have more pages of apps. i use the categories application so that i can group all of my apps so it takes up only one page. i have about 50 apps, and i havent gotten the app for more pages. for your situation, i guess the best thing to do is to reboot your ipod in restore mode and start over. can you access apps on your ipod right now? and what replaced installer?

  148. 148
    Brandon says:

    but yeah… i would just use categories in the future. it makes it much easier to manage your apps. the simplest way to solve your problem is to reboot your ipod, restore, and rejailbreak.

  149. 149
    Gonzalo says:

    have msn to talk by there or aim this is like useless idk well yh the apps works and it was replaced by a game i dont remember the game but the problem of reboot is that my iphone is unblocked to use it in other contries im from venezuela im scared that my ihone can get blocked 4ever

    Paul says:

    Does anyone know if there is a problem with installer. I can’t update any package, when I truy to update all a “ERROR - Package download failed!”

    Please let me know if you guys came across this problem and if so where you able to update your games and etc,… Thanks!

  169. 169
    Brandon says:

    Paul,

    Hey, i used to be confused by that too. basically, some packages just wont download. however, what happens is it is added to a queue, which is like a download list. when you try to download more stuff, it tries to download that one first, and when it fails again, it wont download the other things. so what you need to do… is go to a package you want to download, hit clear queue, and then try again. when you clear the queue, it clears the download list, and allows you to get the new program. dont worry, doing this wont delete any programs. just imagine the queue like a checklist… and it has to do the first thing on the checklist before it does any other things. and if the first thing doesnt work, it cant move on. do you get it? so when you clear the list, it gives your ipod a fresh new order to download things. clear the queue, try again, and let me know how it works.

    Glad to help,

    Brandon

    For those with 1.0.2 and an installer that crashes, here’s what I did. It’s simple. I upgraded to 1.1.4 then used Ziphone to jailbreak and unlock. Ziphone adds installer.app to your applications. If Customize crashes, download SUID lib fix and Customize will be fine.

  180. 180
    faithinprogress says:

    I have been running Installer on 1.1.4 ever since it 1.1.4 was released.
    I stay as updated as it gets. (:

    I cannot access Installer to even view everything I have downloaded in order to re-jailbreak to my current point.
    I would have to start from scratch and re-discover all my sources and the like. :/

    Efrain says:

    I have a 1.1.4 hacked iPod Touch and installer is not working cause the installer app does not load all it does is waits and takes me back to my home screen and I’ve been trying to fix it and I can’t. If anyone knows how to fix it PLEASE!!!!!!! notify me at pollo_1562@yahoo.com

Lol keep me posted if u find anything out!! Oh and thanks Steven… after looking up Ziphone thats where I read the 2.0 update stuff!! =)

    Gamer1612 says:

    I just bought an iphone 3G…First, I want to ask if there is any need for apptapp on it as there is already the app store. Secondly, if there is need, is there an apptapp that will work on the iphone 3G? If there is, how do I get it on my iphone 3G? And finally, can using apptapp irreversibly hurt my iphone 3G and/or void the warranty?

  184. 184
    Appmin says:

    There is no Installer for 3G yet, the closest you can get is the PWNage tool which comes with Cydia. Be careful though! Only for the brave souls at this time

  185. 185
    Gamer1612 says:

    You may have meant to imply the answers but let me ask again. Is there any reason to get the AppTapp on my iphone 3G considering I already have the App Store (in other words, does apptapp have more free programs than the App Store or are they about the same)? And then, when an apptapp comes out for the 3G, will using it void the warranty and what are the chances that using it will “brick” my iphone? I am fine with waiting for one to come out for the 3G if it is relatively safe, but if it is not that unlikely that it will brick my phone and I will be unable to repair it then thats a little too risky for my taste. When (and where) should I check back to see if there is an AppTapp for the iphone 3G? A couple weeks…a month…a few months…a year?

  186. 186
    Appmin says:

    1) Installing anything other than Apple software *WILL* void your warranty, period.
    2) There are tons of unique apps in installer.app for older iPhones that are not in the App Store.
    3) iPhone 2.0 software of any kind as of now doesn’t support Installer.app
    4) Check back often for updates as #3 will change soon

  187. 187
    Gamer1612 says:

    When you say that installing any applications that is not apple software will void the warranty, does this include things like yahoo messenger, which at this time (as far as I can tell) is not available through the app store?

  188. 188
    Gamer1612 says:

    Also, when apptapp is available for the iphone 3G, is it true that using it cant brick your iphone? I know I was looking online on some other forums that said that you cant brick your phone by using apptapp because you can always just restore it. Is this true? Also, is there a list somewhere a list of the applications currently available for the iphone or will be available in the future for the iphone 3G? I ask because as of now I am really just wanting apptapp to get some better free games for the iphone 3G, and if apptapp wont help much in that category then I will just make do with the ones on the App Store. Also, is there anything I should/could do prior to apptapp coming out for iphone 3G? Currently I have a Windows Vista PC with itunes 7.7 but no “modding” stuff. As far as the iphone 3G itself, I dont even have it yet (it is completely out of stock in my area and I was told the only way to get one was to go ahead and but it from the AT&T store and then come pick it up in 1-3 weeks when it comes in) I am sure that I will just keep it as it came out of the box, with the exception of a few App Store apps. For this reason, I would need like a complete walkthrough on how to get from my current setup to one where I can add games from apptapp.

  189. 189
    Bose says:

    The only questions I know the answer to are as follows:

    Apptapp/Cydia can NOT brick your iPhone, as you said, just run a restore with a standard firmware and it will restore. (you may have to put it into recovery mode to do so though, turn off, press/hold home key, plug in to computer)

    There WERE several games available from installer.app prior to the 2.0 f/w. As they all have to be ported over, it may be awhile before they return.

    And yes there are several benefits to using installer.app as opposed to the AppStore. Installer.app has many many MANY more apps available, and last i checked about 99% were free.

    To correct a previous statement, jailbreaking your iphone will *NOT* void your warranty, however, you must restore your iphone to an official firmware (IE: remove installer.app/Cydia) or MOST technical support people will not help. I have heard if you take it into an Apple store jailbroken you typically have better luck with the tech support guys than if you send it in.

  190. 190
    Gamer1612 says:

    First, thanks. Second, where can I find “standard firmware?” Also, will installing apptapp or Cydia affect my iphone any way other than giving me access to more apps? For instance, I have heard stories online about people not being able to use all the features of the iphone that you can use right out of the box. Is there any truth to that?

    You must add a source.

    For example: this is a source for getting guitar hero after downloading the FREE taptaprevenge app.:
    ‘limitededitioniphone.com\lei.XML’

    Then you go to installer.. Games.. And install GH
    Adding a source is pretty easy, you just have to find sources on the net or YouTube.
    Note: YOUTUBE HELPS A TON!
