Project Archived

LcInstaller is no longer actively maintained.

This project was originally created after the mass revoke of developer certificates, when LiveContainer did not support repository based installs. LcInstaller provided a simple way to add repos and install apps directly into LiveContainer without manually downloading IPA files.

LiveContainer now includes built in repository support, which makes LcInstaller largely unnecessary. Because of this, the project has been archived and will not receive further updates.

Thank you to everyone who used and supported this project.

LcInstaller

LcInstaller is a Flutter app that makes installing apps into LiveContainer effortless.

Instead of manually searching for .ipa files, downloading them, and then importing into LiveContainer, you can simply add repos (just like in ESign, Feather, etc.) and install apps directly.

✨ Features

• 📂 Add and manage repos that host .ipa apps.
• ⚡ One-click install into LiveContainer using its URL scheme.
• 🔄 Easily update or switch apps without tedious manual steps.
• 🎨 UI design inspired by Feather.

🛠 Motivation

I built this app because I love testing and updating different apps, but the manual process (search → download → import) was a pain.

I originally used Feather, but after the revoke wave of certificates, I switched fully to LiveContainer. LcInstaller brings the simplicity of repo-based installs to LiveContainer.

⚙️ How It Works

LcInstaller uses LiveContainer’s custom URL scheme:

livecontainer://install?url=https://example.com/app.ipa

When you tap install inside LcInstaller, it tells LiveContainer to fetch the .ipa directly and handle the installation.

✅ You don’t need to manage files, downloads, or imports yourself.

📌 Important Notes

• If you install LcInstaller inside LiveContainer itself, you must:

  • Run it in LiveContainer2, or
  • Run it in multi-tasking mode.

This ensures the main LiveContainer instance remains free to handle the actual install process.

• Distribution through the App Store is not possible (it won’t pass Apple review). You’ll need to sideload the app.

📥 Installation

1. Go to the Releases page.

2. Download the latest .ipa file.

3. Install it via:

   • AltStore / SideStore / TrollStore, or
   • LiveContainer (just import the IPA directly).
