Hi. What do you need an IPA for? It is currently not possible to side load Celestia. Please use https://testflight.apple.com/join/VPp0g68O to join beta.

Hi thanks for the interest in using for teaching purpose, we'd like to help, however the approach you mentioned would not work.

We have IPAs publicly available but they are signed with AppStore certificate. You cannot just simply unpack an IPA and repack it and have it installed since iOS will prevent you from installing a modified IPA.

There are two approaches you can take:

  1. Build the project on your own replacing some files in Celestia repo. Guide for building: https://github.com/levinli303/Celestia/wiki/Development and then distribute with enterprise/ad-hoc signing. To distribute via TestFlight, it need to go through App Store review.
  2. Use external folder to fully customize Celestia, it allows you to provide a folder for Celestia to read from other than the one provided in the app bundle. See https://github.com/levinli303/Celestia/wiki/Override-Data-Directory-to-Read-from
