Feather is an open-source IPA signing app: no ads, no data collection. KSign itself is built on Feather. The difference: Feather ships with no certificate, so you must bring your own.

What you need

  • A personal certificate: .p12, .mobileprovision and its password. See what certificates are.
  • A way to install Feather itself, such as KSign or a pre-signed link from your certificate seller.

Installation steps

  1. Download Feather from the official source

    Get the latest Feather .ipa from its GitHub releases page:

    https://github.com/khcrysalis/Feather/releases
  2. Install Feather

    Sign and install the downloaded Feather file with KSign, using your own certificate. You can also ask your certificate seller to pre-sign Feather for you.

  6. Sign and install

    Tap the app, choose Sign, then Install. If Feather asks how to install, keep the default mode. The idevice mode needs a pairing file made on a computer, and you don’t need it.
