Report: Downloading Older Versions of YouTube .ipa Files

8. Step-by-step (safe method: restoring from a known backup)

1. Confirm you have a local backup .ipa created by iTunes (pre-12.7) or a saved archive.
2. On macOS, open Apple Configurator or Xcode.
3. Connect device via USB.
4. In Apple Configurator: Add -> Apps -> choose .ipa -> Install on device.
5. If signing issues appear, ensure the .ipa is correctly signed for the device or re-sign using a provisioning profile you control.
6. After install, test app functionality offline first; observe for suspicious behavior.

Step 3: Sideload the Old YouTube IPA

• Transfer the downloaded .ipa file to your iPhone (via AirDrop, Files app, or a cloud service).
• Open AltStore, go to the "My Apps" tab, tap the "+" icon.
• Navigate to your .ipa file and select it.
• Enter your Apple ID credentials (AltStore uses them to sign the app, but it's safer to use a dummy/secondary Apple ID).

AltStore will now install the old YouTube app as a separate app (not replacing your official YouTube). It will be valid for 7 days, after which you must refresh it via AltStore while on the same Wi-Fi as your computer.

Q1: Will an old YouTube IPA work on iOS 12 or 13?

Yes, but you need an IPA built for those architectures. Use App Admin (jailbreak only) or search for "YouTube version 15.19 iOS 12." Newer IPAs (v18+) require iOS 14 or 15.

Step 1: Find and Download the IPA

You cannot download old IPAs directly from the App Store. You must use third-party archives.

Option A: iPASpot (Recommended for ease of use)

1. Go to a site like ipaspot.io or iosninja.io in your browser.
2. Search for "YouTube."
3. Look through the version history. You will see version numbers and release dates.
4. Download the version you want.
   • Tip: Do not go too far back. Try a version from 6 months ago first to test stability.

Option B: The "AppStore" Archive Method (More Reliable) If you have a friend who has an old version of YouTube installed on their phone, you can extract it.

1. Use a tool like iMazing (paid software with free trial) on a computer.
2. Connect the friend's device.
3. Select "Manage Apps."
4. Select YouTube and choose "Export IPA."

Method 1: AltStore (Windows & Mac – Free, but requires refresh every 7 days)

Step 1: Download AltServer on your PC/Mac from the official website. Step 2: Install iTunes and iCloud (Windows only) and ensure Wi-Fi sync is enabled. Step 3: Plug in your iPhone. Open AltServer and click "Install AltStore" to your phone. Step 4: On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > Trust your Apple ID. Step 5: Download your desired YouTube IPA old version file from a repo above. Step 6: Open AltStore on your iPhone → "My Apps" → "+" (Plus sign) → Select your IPA. Step 7: Wait for installation.

Drawback: AltStore free apps expire every 7 days. You must refresh them via your computer (or AltStore’s Wi-Fi refresh) to keep YouTube working.
