In 2008, Apple finally managed to put a major spanner in the jailbreaking works, effectively stopping utilities from being developed. While things are starting to get back to normal a little, in the meantime, quite a few alternatives to Cydia were released, bringing tons of unofficial content that couldn’t be installed in any other way. One that has proved incredibly popular is AppEven and, besides not needing a jailbreak, it is also completely free to use. If you want to see what AppEven can offer you, keep reading.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Because of its nature, we get a lot of questions asked about AppEven, and these are the most common ones:

Fix Untrusted Developer?

Being unofficial, Apple doesn’t know the developer and cannot allow it to run. All you need to do is verify the developer, following the steps below:

1. Launch iOS Settings and tap General
2. Tap Profiles and find the AppEven profile
3. Tap it and tap on the Trust or Verify button
4. Close Settings and AppEven will work

Will Using AppEven Affect My Warranty?

Installing AppEven will not affect your warranty because it is a legal app to use. And because you are not jailbreaking, you are not going against Apple in any way. However, there are a few tweaks that can change how your device works, and these can cause your warranty to be voided.

I Get an App Could Not Be Downloaded or Verified Error Message

This is because expired enterprise certificates are used to develop the app store, and Apple revokes these, usually within a few days of you installing the app store. While the developers try to replace the certificates on time, they can’t always get there before Apple does. If your app crashes, delete it and then wait for a while before trying to reinstall it – the developers should have a new certificate in place, and it will work again.

Can I Request Apps or Games?

Yes, by using the developer’s official Twitter feed, but there is no guarantee they will honor your request.

Common AppEven Errors and Solutions:

We are hearing reports of a few common errors appearing on AppEven, but all of them are simple to fix:

White Screen/Greyed Icon

1. Launch your iOS Settings app
2. Tap Safari > Clear Website Data
3. The AppEven screen or icon should be back to normal

AppEven Stopped Working

This is similar to the Untrusted Developer error:

1. Remove AppEven and install it again
2. Go into iOS Settings and tap on General
3. Tap on Profiles and tap the AppEven profile
4. Tap on Verify and close Settings
5. AppEven should now be working again

Profile Installation Failed Error

This happens when the Apple servers are flooded with traffic. You should wait a few hours and try again but if the error keeps occurring, try these steps:

• Enable Airplane Mode on your device
• Go into iOS Settings and tap Safari
• Tap on Clear Website History & Data
• Turn Off Airplane Mode and wait a couple of minutes
• Try AppEven again, and it will now work

AppEven offers users a free way of installing unofficial content without needing to jailbreak your device and is certainly proving incredibly popular. Try it on your iOS device today and see why it is one of the best alternative app stores.
