    This is a pretty clean workflow, and Configurator does make sideloading much simpler than most alternatives. I’ve noticed it works best when the IPA is properly signed, otherwise it can hang during installation. Is this method is safe to use?

    Apple Configurator is a solid method but the IPA needs to be properly signed or the install just hangs. For users without a Mac, Scarlet iOS handles sideloading directly on device. People often ask if these tools are safe to download — yes, as long as you stick to trusted IPA sources.
