The short answer is: Unlike Android, where you can download a .apk mod file and install it directly, iOS does not allow execution of unsigned or modified code unless the device is jailbroken. Here is the reality breakdown:

Even sideloading via AltStore now requires refreshing the app every 7 days with a free developer account. For mods that rely on server-side authentication, the future is bleak.
This is the most critical part of this review.
