iOS

This guide covers how to download and install the iOS Developer Preview of ProxyHub Lite before the App Store release.

At the moment, the iOS version is distributed as an IPA file. Because of that, installation takes a few extra steps the first time. This guide walks you through the simplest options and helps you choose the one that fits your setup best.

1. System Requirements

• Device: iPhone or iPad

• OS: iOS 15 or later

• Internet: Stable connection required

• Apple ID: Required for installation

• Computer: Required (Windows or macOS)

2. Downloading ProxyHub Lite (iOS IPA)

• ProxyHub Lite is currently distributed as a Developer Preview IPA and is not yet available on the App Store.

• Go to the official download page:

→ Download ProxyHub Lite for iOS (IPA)

Note: Make sure you only download the IPA from official 9Proxy sources.

3. Choose an Installation Method

The iOS preview can currently be installed in three ways:

3.1. Install with AltStore

This is the most beginner-friendly option for long-term use.

1

Download the IPA

Download the latest iOS Developer Preview IPA from the official 9Proxy download page.

Make sure you only use the official 9Proxy source.

2

Step 2: Install AltStore on your computer

Go to AltStore’s official site and download AltServer for your computer. AltStore Classic requires AltServer to install apps onto your iPhone or iPad.

If you are using Windows, AltStore’s official guide says you should first install the latest versions of iTunes and iCloud directly from Apple, not from the Microsoft Store.

3

Connect your iPhone to the computer

Use a cable to connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer.

Unlock the device and tap Trust This Computer if prompted.

If you are using AltStore on Windows, the official AltStore guide also asks you to enable Wi-Fi sync in iTunes before installing AltStore.

4

Install AltStore on the iPhone

Open AltServer on your computer.

Choose:

• Install AltStore

• Select your iPhone or iPad

You will be asked to sign in with your Apple ID. According to AltStore, those credentials are sent to Apple for authentication.

Wait until AltStore is installed on your device.

5

Trust the app on iPhone

After installation, you may need to trust the developer profile before the app can open.

On iPhone, go to:

• Settings

• General

• VPN & Device Management (or a similarly named section depending on iOS version)

Then trust the profile for your Apple ID or developer entry. Apple notes that manually installed apps may require manual trust; in iOS 18 and later, you may see Allow & Restart during this process.

If you are on iOS 16 or later, AltStore also requires Developer Mode to be enabled. AltStore’s guide says you can do this in:

• Settings

• Privacy & Security

• Developer Mode

6

Import the ProxyHub Lite IPA

Open AltStore on your iPhone.

Import or add the ProxyHub Lite IPA you downloaded from 9Proxy.

AltStore will then sign and install the app onto your device.

7

Open ProxyHub Lite

Once installation finishes, open ProxyHub Lite and sign in with your 9Proxy account.

If you want this phone to appear inside ProxyHub Pro on desktop later, make sure you use the same 9Proxy account.

3.2. Install with Sideloadly

Sideloadly is a good option if you want to install the IPA directly from your computer.

1

Download Sideloadly

Download Sideloadly from the official site. Sideloadly supports sideloading IPA files to iOS without jailbreak and works with free or paid Apple Developer accounts.

2

Download the ProxyHub Lite IPA

Download the latest iOS Developer Preview IPA from the official 9Proxy download page.

3

Connect your iPhone

Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer with a cable.

Unlock the device and trust the computer if prompted.

4

Open Sideloadly and load the IPA

Open Sideloadly.

Select your device, then drag and drop the ProxyHub Lite IPA into the app window.

5

Sign in with Apple ID

Enter your Apple ID when prompted so Sideloadly can sign the app for installation. Sideloadly supports both free and paid Apple Developer accounts.

6

Start installation

Click Start and wait for the installation to complete.

7

Trust the app if needed

If iOS blocks the app the first time you open it, complete the trust step in:

• Settings

• General

• VPN & Device Management

Apple says manually installed apps may require this trust step before they can open.

Then open ProxyHub Lite and sign in.

3.3. Install with Xcode

If you are a developer and already use Xcode, you can also install the iOS preview through your development workflow.

This option is best if you are already familiar with:

• Apple certificates and signing

• Registered devices

• Xcode deployment

If not, use AltStore or Sideloadly instead. They are easier for first-time installation.

4. What to Expect After Installation

Once ProxyHub Lite is installed successfully, you can use it in two ways:

• Use a proxy directly on that iPhone

• Sign in with the same account and let the device connect to ProxyHub Pro for centralized control from your computer

This means you can start with one phone, then move to a multi-device setup later without changing apps.

5. Next Steps

After installation, continue with:

• Use Proxy on Your Phone (ProxyHub Lite)

• Multi-device control (ProxyHub Pro)

6. Important Notes

• The current iOS build is a Developer Preview IPA, so installation is more manual than a normal App Store install

• You may see Apple trust or developer prompts the first time you open the app

• If the trust step fails, make sure the device is connected to the internet; Apple notes that verification may fail if the device cannot reach Apple’s verification service.

• Depending on your iOS version and install method, you may also need to restart the device or enable Developer Mode before the app opens correctly.

7. Troubleshooting

The app does not appear after installation

Try restarting your iPhone first. AltStore notes that in some cases the app may only appear after a restart.

I see “Untrusted Developer” or the app will not open

Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and complete the trust flow for the installed profile. Apple says this is required for manually installed apps.

I cannot install with AltStore on Windows

Make sure you installed iTunes and iCloud directly from Apple, not from the Microsoft Store, then try again.

My iPhone is not detected

Reconnect the cable, unlock the phone, tap Trust, and try again. With AltStore on Windows, enabling Wi-Fi sync can also help.
