Use Cydia Impactor to sideload the IPA

Cydia Impactor is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool that lets you install IPA files on iOS devices. It is freely available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. To sideload the IPA using Cydia Impactor, you will first need to download the latest version of Cydia Impactor. You can download it from a variety of sources, but it is recommended to download it from the official website.

Once you have downloaded Cydia Impactor, you will need to launch the app. If you are using it on a Windows or Mac operating system, ensure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed. If you are using Linux, download the Impactor tool that matches your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

After launching Cydia Impactor, you will need to drag the Electra IPA file onto the Cydia Impactor window. When prompted, enter your Apple ID credentials to confirm. Cydia Impactor will then begin sideloading the IPA onto your device.

Once the Electra IPA is installed on your device, you will need to make sure that it can be launched. To do this, navigate to Settings > General > Profile(s) & Device Management and select the profile associated with the Electra IPA that you just sideloaded.

It is important to note that if you encounter any issues with the Electra app, such as it crashing or not opening, you can reinstall it using Cydia Impactor. Additionally, if you are looking to sideload IPA files without using Cydia Impactor, there are alternative methods available, such as using Ext3nder or AppSync, but these methods may require jailbreaking your device.

Launch Electra and hit 'Jailbreak'

Once you have downloaded the Electra jailbreak utility, you will need to open it. When you try to open the installed Electra jailbreak utility, it will ask you to trust the application. To do this, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management and tap your Apple ID. Hit “Trust” and then again on “Trust” in the popup window. After this, you can now open Chimera without any restrictions.

Now, launch the Electra jailbreak utility. The app will launch like any other and provide you with its main interface. You should notice a button titled "Jailbreak" in the middle of the screen. Tap this button to begin the jailbreaking process. Also, make sure that the ''Tweaks' toggle is set to the 'On' position.

The jailbreaking process will take 2 to 3 attempts as the Electra app may crash or require reboots. If you see a bug that results in a completely black screen, just restart your phone and open the Electra app again. If it says ""Jailbreak", you need to repeat the jailbreaking process. If it says "Already jailbroken", the app has been successfully installed.

Re-enable jailbreak after reboot

Electra is a semi-untethered jailbreak, meaning that if you reboot your device, you will need to re-jailbreak it.

There is no surefire way to get the jailbreak working again after a reboot. However, there are some methods that you can try. One suggestion is to open the Electra app after rebooting, then immediately lock your iPhone for 60 seconds before going back to the app and enabling the jailbreak. Another method is to leave your phone on for a while (a few hours to a few days) and let it idle before trying to re-enable the jailbreak. Disabling 'Find My iPhone' in your settings has also proven to increase the success rate of jailbreak tools.

Launch Cydia and install tweaks

Once you have jailbroken your device using Electra, you will have access to the Cydia third-party app store. Cydia is a software distribution platform, similar to the iTunes App Store, where you can download "tweaks" to extend your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch on a functional level.

To launch Cydia, first, make sure you have the latest version of Cydia Impactor. Launch the app and drag the Electra IPA file of your choice into the Cydia Impactor interface. When requested, add your Apple ID credentials and wait for Cydia Impactor to sideload the Electra IPA to your device. Once the Electra jailbreak app is sideloaded, you need to make sure that it can be launched on the device. To do this, navigate to Settings > General > Profile(s) & Device Management and find the profile associated with the Electra IPA that you just sideloaded.

Now, launch Electra and tap the "Jailbreak" button in the middle of the screen. Make sure that the "Tweaks" toggle is set to the "On" position. After a short while, Electra will reboot your device. Once it comes back to the Lock screen, unlock the device, launch Electra again and hit "Jailbreak" again to continue the jailbreaking process. Once the process is complete, you should see a Cydia icon on your Home screen.

To install tweaks from Cydia, go to the "Search" tab and enter the name of your desired package. Then, hit "Install" or "Modify" to see installation options. To retrieve past purchases, go to the "Cydia" tab and tap "Manage Account", then sign in with your preferred authentication method. Go to your "Changes" tab and wait for Cydia to fetch the latest updates from the repositories in your "Sources" tab. Then hit "Upgrade" and either "Confirm" or, if you want to add something to your install queue or uninstall a Cydia package, select "Continue Queueing".

Note that downloading tweaks that are incompatible with your iOS version is dangerous and can potentially bootloop your device.
