IPA God has announced that he will be releasing an application that can install cracked apps on a non-jailbroken phone.
The app will cost under $20 and be installed via Safari on the device. It works with iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.
According to the developer, the program uses "apple left in for developers to share their apps for beta testing over the internet."
Previously, jailbreaking has been associated with the installation of cracked applications; however, this app may now remove that negative association.

This is the reason why Apple is against Jailbreaking, and now these guys are saying they can install apps without Jailbreaking, Apple need to close this hole! Creators work hard to create software, People please dont steal apps
That is absolutely impossible. It's like saying, "I wish I could travel to the Moon without leaving Earth." Jailbreaking removes limitations in iOS as to what apps can do. Without jailbreaking, you are always limited to what the officially approved App Store apps are capable of. That's why cracked apps can, in theory, be installed on non-jailbroken phones: because they're still App Store apps.
This is nothing new. This is just a recycled method of something like the crApp Store. The app installs a provisioning certificate, the cracked apps are recodesigned and installed due to the dev provisioning cerificate. This is nothing new, move along kids. This is only a more expensive way to get apps on non-jailbroken phones. Get your UDID registered for $5 elsewhere and look for the crApp Store template online, load it into xCode and install.
Not all app cracking is just for the purpose of stealing. Check Installous and you'll see some of the popular downloads are for free apps. Of course many people do steal, but many people download apps not available in their region, or download as a try-before-you-buy method.
I totally agree. There have been many apps that I needed to try before I buy, some apps do the same thing, so therefore you download them and see which is the best of them, then you buy it. Yes it does open the door for people stealing apps, but as we all know with ANY electronic device run by software, that there will always be that open door. How many people steal software for other phones, Windows, Linux, etc etc... the stealing will never stop, but at least we can try and make it more difficult. As for those who develop apps should at least have a try before buy system in place. - maybe a 15 day trial to download etc etc - everyone does it with Macs and PC's, so why not adopt that same system?.
This is the best way to try the app dev make the app so great and wend u get to use it
It not as good. But this does not stop sale cause look @ angry bird sold more the 4 mil and it was in installous as soon it was on the app store.
