What happened?

I'm using sideloadely in order to install the .IPA into my device. It successfuly installed the app, but when I open it, it instant crashes. I'm trying to install them on an iPad Pro (6th generation). What software do you recommend in order to correctly install the .IPA from your ipatool?

Version

2.1.3

You cannot resign the ipa file as it is, as it is encrypted with Apple's FairPlay. You can install the ipa directly on your device using Xcode or by sending it via AirDrop. Your device needs to be authenticated with the Apple ID you downloaded the app with.
