You may remember us telling you about InstallerApp a while ago, yeah? Well, RipDev finally released InstallerApp version 1.0 – In case you don’t know, InstallerApp is an application by RipDev (Developer of Installer.app) InstallerApp allows you to install unofficial 3rd party application to your iPhone via your desktop over a USB cable. Absolutely perfect for the people without a Wi-Fi connection.
InstallerApp can install software in two flavors — when you initially connect an iPhone, it will ask you to install some required components (that is mostly the Installer itself and its daemon, an application that will respond to InstallerApp requests on the USB). This can be installed on any iPhone, and if it was not jailbroken before, then it will not even open the system disk for writing — this to guarantee the security and integrity of your system.
If you wish to install software that uses APT/DPKG (probably most known on the iPhone world after the graphical front-end Cydia), then the system partition will have to be open for writing (most dpkg packages won’t work otherwise) — and yes, InstallerApp can do that too by downloading a special “ramdisk” that contains the open source components (such as dpkg, and some essential tools) and “pushing it” to the iPhone. We have rebuilt the components on our own as the ones packaged with other solutions were not built with all diligence and patience as they should have been.
InstallerApp is $7 and works for up to 3 devices. If you got more than 3 then you can buy more than one license!

Gay. RiPDev needs to just bow down to Saurik and die.
Saurik sucks!
Cydia is free, Installer is free…why charge for this program?
Does anyone even use Installer?
Well, looks like this isn’t for me (Although I need a similar application since I have no access to Wirless internet to install apps onto my iTouch with)since I don’t have a Mac, iPhone over 1.1.4 firmware, and $7 to spend on something that should be free.
Windows version will be released soon
I have a jailbroken iphone and have loaded a couple of apps from Cydia, since the selection from “Installer” is paltry.
So I saw this rip-dev desktop installer thing which sounded like a great way to get new apps onto the phone without having to do it one at a time from the iphone, browsing around slowly to figure out whats what.
Problem is that the Rip Dev desktop installer doesn’t work
A) To get the only benefit out of it (Syncing apps to your phone) you have to buy it for $7
B) I cant even push the desktop installer support to the iPhone without the F*k’ing program crashing, so why the hell would I pay $7 for it?
C) To see what the app is, it just takes you to the website anyways. I could do that without their program.
May as well just browse the apps online, and then go to your device and download them directly, save the frustration.
In summary, the Desktop Installer is a good idea, but after 2 days f*k’ing with it I realize that it’s fundamentally flawed.
Is there already a Windows version?
Good artical.
thanks , I enjoyed reading it
