Requirements

  • A GitHub account
  • A decrypted Instagram IPA (you must get this yourself)

Steps

  1. Fork this repository
  2. Upload your decrypted IPA file to a cloud storage service, and get a direct download link to the file. Some examples are provided for Google Drive and OneDrive.
  3. In your forked repository:
    • Go to the Actions tab
    • Select the Build and Package SCInsta workflow on the left sidebar
    • Click Run workflow in the blue highlighted box
    • Enter the direct download link for your decrypted IPA and click the green Run workflow button
    • After waiting several minutes for the building to finish, click on the workflow run once the icon shows a green check
    • Finally, download the SCInsta artifact from the page and unzip the file to get the build SCInsta IPA
GitHub Actions page

Troubleshooting

If the building fails, and you receive this error:

Creating the IPA file...
[*] extracting ipa..
[!] not a zip/ipa file
[*] deleting temporary directory..
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

it means that your download link is incorrect.

To check if the problem is with your download link, open it in your browser and the ipa should immediately download to your computer without showing any site/page.

Install

After building SCInsta, you can install the tweaked IPA file like any other sideloaded iOS app. If you have not done this before, here are some suggestions to get started.

  • AltStore (Free, No notifications*) *Notifications require $99/year Apple Developer Program
  • Sideloadly (Free, No notifications*) *Notifications require $99/year Apple Developer Program
  • Signulous ($19.99/year, Receives notifications)
  • UDID Registrations ($9.99/year, Receives notifications)
