14 DAY TRIAL // InstallerApp is a native Mac OS X application that allows users to easily download applications from Installer and Cydia directly onto their computer, and install them to an iPhone or iPod touch connected via USB cable. As a Macworld report indicates, users do not need to jailbreak their phones to use the tool for installing apps. However, the apps themselves need to be hacked, in order to run.
According to Ripdev, the makers of InstallerApp, users just add their favorite repository in the Preferences window and the application will automatically recognize its type, displaying the packages from that repository. Users are then able to download packages to their computer and install them to a USB-connected device. The user doesn't have to access a Wi-Fi network to “let iPhone out” onto the Internet, or download applications over EDGE or 3G networks wasting traffic. With the help of InstallerApp, users download all the required packages straight onto the Internet-connected Mac, and then simply sync all the downloaded packages to the iPhone.
There's a small catch, though – InstallerApp is commercial software and costs US $7 per license. “By purchasing a license you will add a capability to synchronize up to 3 different iPhones with InstallerApp to install software, get free updates for your InstallerApp 1.x, and also be eligible for the email tech support within a year after purchasing a license,” the developer explains. “Without a license, InstallerApp is a fully functional application, including [the] ability to perform Push procedure and put Installer.app on iPhone — only package installation onto the iPhone is not available.”
As a post over at 9to5mac reveals, “a few brave souls ... have tried [the tool]. Users of a unibody MacBook allegedly need a USB hub as well. InstallerApp also requires a Mac with Intel processor and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system or higher. The first generation iPhone and iPhone 3G are supported, but not the iPod touch. Ripdev also plans on adding support for iPhone firmware 3.0 as soon as jailbreak for it is released.”
