I’ve been trying to install Master Royale on my iPhone but keep hitting roadblocks. I can’t seem to find a reliable way to get it done. Has anyone successfully installed it on iOS? Any steps or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve been trying to install Master Royale on my iPhone too, and I understand the struggle. iOS isn’t very friendly towards apps that aren’t from the App Store, to put it mildly.

First off, here’s a step-by-step guide that worked for me, albeit with some persistence:

  1. Find a Reliable Source: The biggest issue is finding a trustworthy source to download the app. Many websites claim to have the iOS version of Master Royale, but a lot are sketchy. Try looking through Reddit or specific community forums where users share their personal experiences and trusted links. Just be cautious about where you’re downloading from.

  2. Use a Third-Party Installer: iOS doesn’t allow direct APK installations (unlike Android). You’ll need a third-party installer like TweakBox, AppValley, or Cydia Impactor. These platforms can be used to sideload apps not available on the App Store. Note that these installers themselves are sometimes taken down or flagged by Apple, so your mileage may vary.

  3. Install the Installer: For example, with TweakBox, you’d go to their website, download the profile, and install it on your phone. You need to go to Settings > General > Device Management and trust the profile.

  4. Search and Install Master Royale: After the installer is in place, use it to search for Master Royale. Install it directly through this third-party app. You might have to trust the app’s developer in the Device Management settings again to run it.

  5. VPN Might Help: Sometimes, a VPN can help if you’re having issues with location-based restrictions. Pick a reliable VPN service, preferably a paid one to avoid additional risks.

  6. Regular Maintenance: Be prepared for the app to occasionally stop working. With updates and Apple’s restrictions, you might need to reinstall or look for updated versions through the same process.

A couple of precautions:

  • Data Risks: Be aware that sideloading apps this way might bring security risks. The nature of third-party app stores and the requirement to trust unknown certificates can expose your device to malicious software.

  • Legal Issues: Always ensure you’re not violating any terms of service for either Apple or Supercell (developers of Clash Royale). They are pretty serious about their EULA and could ban your account, especially if you use it to play Clash Royale through unconventional methods.

If this all seems too daunting, you might want to consider alternatives or just stick to the main game. Sometimes these workarounds can give more headache than they are worth.

Hope this helps and good luck getting Master Royale up and running!

I get where you’re coming from, trying to sideload apps on iOS can be like hitting your head against a wall sometimes. Codecrafter has given a solid walkthrough, but here’s some additional stuff that might help or offer a different angle:

  1. Explore AltStore: One of the more advanced and reliable methods is using AltStore. Unlike TweakBox or AppValley, AltStore is designed to be more resilient to Apple’s restrictions. You’re basically running a private app store on your device. It does require a bit more setup, and you’ll need a computer, either PC or Mac, but it’s definitely worth considering.

    • Setting Up AltStore:
      • First, download AltServer on your computer (you’ll find this on the AltStore website).
      • Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB.
      • Open AltServer on your computer, then use it to install AltStore to your phone.
      • Launch AltStore on your phone, sign in with your Apple ID (don’t worry, it’s safe).
      • From there, download Master Royale or any other sideloaded app.

    AltStore signs the app with your own Apple ID, so it’s less likely to face issues with being untrusted. You will need to refresh the app every seven days, but once it’s setup, this process is pretty seamless.

  2. Why Not Use a Paid Developer Account?: If you really want a stable, long-term solution and don’t mind a bit of expense, a $99/year Apple Developer account could be the answer. By getting this account, you can sideload apps without the usual seven-day refresh limit. It’s a steeper upfront cost but considering you’re circumventing the headaches that come with free third-party sideloading methods, it might be worth it.

  3. Reconsider VPN: While Codecrafter suggests using a VPN, I’d be cautious here. Using a VPN can sometimes complicate things more than it helps, especially if you pick a shady service. Make sure you use reputable VPNs, like NordVPN or ExpressVPN, if you go down this route.

  4. Check iOS Version Compatibility: One common issue people overlook is the compatibility of their iOS version with the sideloaded app. Sometimes newer iOS versions introduce restrictions that break these installations. Ensure the app version you’re trying to sideload specifically mentions compatibility with your iOS version.

  5. Debugging Crashes: If Master Royale keeps crashing, it might be due to improper certificate installation or a conflict with current iOS settings. Try restarting your phone after every step in the install process, switching off Background App Refresh for non-essential apps, and clearing your device’s RAM.

Also, keep a lookout for the SwiftKey bug that some apps inadvertently trigger. This can cause sudden crashes post-installation. To circumvent this, go to Settings > General > Keyboard and disable any third-party keyboards before launching your sideloaded app.

  1. Use DNS Tricks: Another method you might not hear often involves DNS changes. This can sometimes circumvent certain restrictions but proceed with caution. Changing DNS settings can lead to exposure to phishing or tracking. Google’s Public DNS or Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 are good starts if you wish to explore this.

  2. Direct Source Sites: Rather than hunting down sketchy file hosting sites, check out the more reliable community repositories like AltStore’s community sources. Reddit’s r/sideloaded or GitHub repositories often list direct links. Community managed sources are way more reliable and have user feedback that can guide you.

  3. Manual Trust Certification: This might seem redundant but double-check that you’ve trusted the certification correctly.

    • Navigate to Settings > General > Profile(s) & Device Management.
    • Verify that the developer profile matches correctly and is trusted explicitly on your iPhone.

All in all, while these methods bring you closer to running Master Royale on your iPhone, weigh out the risks and inconveniences. Sideloading apps carries inherent risks, and depending on an unauthorized app’s reliability can lead to intermittent issues disrupting your experience.

If all else fails, consider an Android device or emulator for that specific purpose. Android handles such installations with much more grace and minimal hassle.

Honestly, all these complicated steps sound like a colossal waste of time. Finding a “reliable” source? Using third-party installers? Pffft, good luck with that. You’ll probably just end up with malware or a non-functional app half the time.

AltStore might seem cool, but the constant need to refresh apps every seven days is just another headache. Who wants to keep syncing their iPhone to a PC or Mac all the time? Better use that $99 Apple Developer account if you’re so desperate. At least you’ll get something stable out of it, even if it burns a hole in your pocket.

And what’s with the VPN advice? Sure, it can help, but it mainly just complicates things further. Plus, convincing a VPN to play nice with Apple’s ecosystem is like herding cats.

The truth is, iOS just isn’t built for this level of customization. Unlike Android, which allows APK installations without throwing a fit, Apple locks its devices down tighter than Fort Knox. Maybe, instead of going through all this hassle, consider just sticking to apps available in the App Store. Or get an Android device if you desperately need apps like Master Royale.

Sometimes chasing a workaround isn’t worth the headache, ups and downs, and potential security risks. Just cope with reality or consider switching ecosystems if you want to play outside the App Store’s walled garden.
