An IPA (iOS App Store Package) file is the archive format used for iOS applications. It contains the compiled app binary along with its resources, metadata, and code signatures. Just like APK files for Android, IPA files can be manually installed on iOS devices through a process called sideloading.

SideStore is an alternative to AltStore with one key advantage: after initial setup, you can refresh apps on your device without needing to connect to a computer.

The safest and most legitimate way to use ZArchiver on iOS is to download it directly from the official App Store.

If you have backed up application data in an archive, ZArchiver can extract and restore these files efficiently. ZArchiver Pro Features
