OnStream for iOS (iPhone & iPad): Installation Guide 2026
APK files only work on Android, so iPhone and iPad users need a different method. Learn how to sideload OnStream on iOS using an IPA file and SideStore — no jailbreak required.
01 Overview
Is OnStream Available for iOS?
OnStream is not available on the Apple App Store, and APK files cannot be installed on iPhone or iPad. To use it on iOS, you need an IPA file (the iOS app format) and a sideloading tool such as SideStore.
SideStore lets you install apps outside the App Store using your own Apple ID. You will need a computer for the first-time setup, but after that you can manage and refresh apps directly from your iPhone.

What You Need Before Installing
