Appcake is an app that allows users who have a jailbroken iOS device to download paid apps for free so they can try them out before buying the app. iOS users who use Cydia to jailbreak their devices can install Appcake directly from the Cydia app.
Step
Step 1. Launch the Cydia app from the Home screen on your iOS device
It can take up to a few minutes for the app to load if there are multiple updates available.
Step 2. Tap “Sources” at the bottom of the Cydia Home screen
Step 3. Tap on "Edit" located at the top right corner of your screen
Step 4. Tap on "Add" which is shown in the top left corner
A dialog box will be displayed on the screen.
Step 5. Type "cydia.iphonecake.com" into the dialog box and tap "Add Source
Step 6. Tap “Add anyway” when asked if you want to add this source
Your iOS device will take a while to download the resources needed to run Appcake.
Step 7. Tap “Return to Cydia” to return to the Sources screen once all sources have finished updating for Appcake
Step 8. Tap on “cydia
iphonecake.com."
Step 9. Tap "Appcake"
(If your device is iOS7)
- If your device is iOS4, tap "AppCake(for iOS4.2&lower)".
- If your device is iOS6, tap "AppCake for iOS6".
Step 10. Tap on “Install,” then tap on “Confirm” located at the top right corner of your session
Appcake will start installing.
If you are using iOS 7, you will also be asked to install a patch called "AppSync Patch iOS 7.x" so that Appcake can run efficiently on your device. This patch can be installed directly from the Source screen
Step 11. Tap "Restart Springboard" when the prompt appears on the screen to complete the installation process for Appcake successfully
When installing Appcake, multiple users may see an app named "AppSync" downloaded at the same time. This app is required to be used with Appcake on iOS devices that never used Installous before they downloaded Appcake
