1.1.2 Firmware Installing AppTapp (AppSnapp) via SSH - or any third party application (Windows XP / Vista)(intel / PPC Mac)

(intel / PPC Mac)

Many have asked me how they get AppTapp or AppSnapp onto an already jailbroken and activated iPhone. Obviously if you are on firmware 1.0.2 and lower you can still download the older program and connect via USB to get it installed. There are situations where you can run into bootstrap errors though. Since AppSnapp is installed via the jailbreak 1.1.1 method there is no program to download per se since it is part of the exploit. This process is probably most valuable for anyone running 1.1.1 firmware and below as I'm not sure how you would have SSH installed on a 1.1.2 iPhone but not have used AppSnapp to do it. Nonetheless, here are the instructions. This will only work if you have SSH already installed on the iPhone. These instructions can be applied to any third party application that gets intalled in the /Applications folder. Just ensure the binary program inside the folder (usually named the same thing as the application) has 0755 permissions set. I'm assuming you've jailbroken/activated and installed Installer and/or SSH on your iPhone already. If not then do it now.

1. Download the Installer program (version 3.0b8) here. Decompress the download and you'll be left with this file. Place it anywhere you'd like on your computer.


2. Launch Fugu and navigate to your /Applications folder.


3. Drag your Installer.app folder into the /Applications folder. Make sure you do not drag it into one of the folders already in /Applications. It might be easier to scroll to the bottom of the list to find a space to drop it into.


4. Once it is copied over, double click the Installer.app folder on the iPhone. Verify the permissions on the Installer file. They should show triple X.


5. This is how to change the permissions if you need to. Right click the Installer file and select Get Info.


6. Check the three Execute boxes and click Apply. (On the pop up)


7. Restart the iPhone. Or if you're a smart one, issue the killall SpringBoard command instead. There's your new program.

(Windows XP / Vista)

1. Download the Installer program (version 3.0b8) here. Decompress the download and you'll be left with this file. Place it anywhere you'd like on your computer.


2. Download WinSCP which you can get for free here. and navigate to your /Applications folder.


3. Drag your Installer.app folder into the /Applications folder. Make sure you do not drag it into one of the folders already in /Applications. It might be easier to scroll to the bottom of the list to find a space to drop it into.


4. Once it is copied over, double click the Installer.app folder on the iPhone. Verify the permissions on the Installer file. They should show triple X. In this example they don't.


5. This is how to change the permissions if you need to. Right click the Installer file and select Properties.


6. Check the three X boxes and click OK. (on the pop up)


7. Restart the iPhone. Or if you're a smart one, issue the killall SpringBoard command instead. There's your new program.
