How to Install Scarlet Through AltStore

Scarlet iOS enables you to tweak apps, install them, and sideload IPA files from external sources. Similarly, AltStore is another tool that allows you to sideload apps onto your iPhone or iPad. Typically, Apple’s security settings prevent apps from being installed from unknown sources, but these tools help you bypass that restriction.

Sometimes, users face issues when trying to install Scarlet directly, such as certification revocation. In such cases, AltStore serves as a reliable alternative. Installing Scarlet through AltStore is a straightforward process, and this guide will take you through the steps.

Prerequisites for Installing Scarlet Through AltStore

Before beginning, ensure you have the following:

1. A Windows PC or Mac
   AltStore works on both Windows and macOS, so you can use either based on your preference.
2. iPhone/iPad
   You’ll need the device on which you want to install the Scarlet iOS App Store.
3. USB Cable
   A USB or lightning cable is necessary to connect your device to the computer during the setup.
4. Stable Internet Connection
   A reliable connection is required to download the AltStore software, Scarlet IPA file, and authenticate your Apple ID with Apple’s servers. An unstable connection can cause errors during installation.
5. iTunes and iCloud (for Windows users)
   Ensure that iTunes and iCloud are installed from Apple’s website (not the Microsoft Store). These tools are essential for communication between AltStore and your device.
   • iTunes establishes the connection between your computer and device.
   • iCloud handles authentication and syncing.
     Note: Always download official versions from Apple to avoid compatibility issues.
