Frequently Asked Questions:
We get asked quite a lot of questions about AppCake, and these are the answers to the more commonly asked ones:
What is AppCake?
It is an alternative iOS app store, offering users an easy way of installing IPA files onto their devices. The store already has quite a few IPA files for various games and apps built-in, but you also have an easy way of installing external IPA files via the internet. You can also easily install .deb files too. When you open AppCake, you will see it is designed in a user-friendly way, it is very simple to navigate, and installing files is easy to do too.
Is it Safe?
Yes, AppCake is 100% safe to use. You don’t need to jailbreak so you don’t hack into the root of your device, and you don’t need your Apple ID, so you are safe to use it. The store will not compromise your data, device, security, or privacy in any way.
Will it Void my Warranty?
No, AppCake cannot void your warranty. It uses the same app permissions as any official app store app, and you do not need to jailbreak. That means your device is not open to external threats, and you are not compromising Apple’s security in any way. If you are at all concerned and you find you have to take your device in for repair, simply delete AppCake and reinstall it again later.
I Get an Installation Failed Error – How Do I Fix This?
This could be because you are running an older version of the app or, if your device has been jailbroken, you may be running a tweak called AppSync. Either delete and start over or, in the case of jailbreaking, make sure that you install AppSync Unified via Cydia.
Do I Need to Jailbreak to Use AppCake?
No, not anymore. Simply follow the guide above to install AppCake without a jailbreak.
Can I Use it on Android?
Right now, no. AppCake is purely for iOS devices, and there doesn’t appear to be any plans for an APK file version of the store. However, if the developers opt to develop an Android version, we’ll let you know.
Does AppCake Support iOS 13?
Yes, a recent update ensured that those users on iOS 13 are fully supported, and we expect AppCake to be updated again in the near future to support iOS 14 when it is released.
Once a jailbreak-only app, now anyone can install AppCake and take advantage of all it has to offer. Download it today and see what you’ve been missing out on.
