How to Download iTransmission:
iTransmission is not available in the official app store but there are two other ways to get the app onto your iPhone.
Method 1: AppValley App
AppValley is an unofficial app installer, providing access to thousands of free apps and games, as well as iTransmission.
- Download AppValley using the detailed guide on the official website here appvalleyapp.com
- Launch it and find iTransmission Client.
- Tap the app and install it, following the on-screen guide
- Enjoy!
If you see an untrusted developer error when you try to use iTransmission here’s how to clear it:
- Open Settings > General > Profiles
- Tap the developer name
- Tap Trust
Method 2: IPA File
This requires you to sideload iTransmission onto your iPhone or iPad and the best way to do that is with Cydia Impactor. You can use the tool to install up to three apps on your iPhone or iPad but, because it is sideloading unofficial files, signing them so you can use them, there is a downside to this method – every few days, the app will crash and you will need to reactivate it by following the installation steps again.
Here’s how to use Cydia Impactor to install iTransmission:
- Fire up your computer and download Cydia Impactor. Extract the file contents
- Next, download the iTransmission IPA file – it is around 26MB
- Plug your iPhone or iPad into your computer and launch Cydia Impactor
- Wait until it has correctly identified your device and then click the Device button
- Click on Install Package, locate your IPA file and click it. Alternatively, simply drag the IPA file into Cydia Impactor
- Input your Apple ID and password (create an app-specific one) and wait
- When Cydia Impactor has signed the file, go to your iOS Settings app
- Tap General>Profiles and tap iTransmission
- Tap Trust and close it – iTransmission is now ready for use.
While you do not need to jailbreak to use Cydia Impactor there is another similar option for those who do already have a jailbreak. Download an app called ReProvision and that can be sued for sideloading IPA files.
