Installing the Pebble app on iOS with Sideloadly

Looking for download links? Go to the end of the guide (See downloads below)!


The Pebble app is no longer on the App Store.

No worries! If you have an Apple ID, you can install the app yourself!

Please note that you have to do this every 7 days for the app to keep working.

If you don't redo the process after a week, your Pebble will still receive notifications.

  • Computer (Windows 10, or macOS 10.14 and higher) with internet access
  • iOS device (iOS 7 or higher) with internet access
  • Cable for iOS device

[INFORMATION BOXES] If you see this, then it is important!


Installation:

  1. Download the appropriate Pebble IPA on your computer.

  2. Download and install Sideloadly on your computer.
  3. Connect your iOS device. There may be a popup on the iOS device asking to trust the computer, press Allow.
  4. Run Sideloadly. At some point, there will be a popup that asks for your Apple ID. Enter your email and password.

    [INFO]: Depending on your device, you may need to go into Advanced Options and tick the appropriate boxes.

  5. Click on the IPA icon. Select the Pebble IPA you downloaded in step #1. Press "Start".

    [INFO]: Make sure your device is showing in the dropdown list named "iDevice" before pressing "Start"!

  6. The Pebble app is now installed. If "Untrusted Developer" pops up, simply go to the Settings app > General > Device Management > (your Apple ID email) and click on "Trust (your Apple ID email)" The Pebble app should now have a "Verified" on that same settings page.
  7. Go to the Rebble website and create a Rebble account (or sign in if you already have one).
  8. Click the "Switch to Rebble" button.
  9. Redo steps 3-6 every week.
  10. Profit!

Help:

  • If you have sideloading issues, try installing the latest iTunes and iCloud before starting the process.

    For Windows users: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE MICROSOFT STORE VERSION. Download and install from Apple's website.

  • If the app does not start, go to the Settings app > General > Device Management > (your Apple ID email). The Pebble app should now have a "Verified" status. If not, repeat steps 3-6.
  • If Sideloadly does not work for you, try using AltStore*.
