If you need a formal paper, I’d recommend choosing a legal, defensive, or educational angle — for example:
“Methods of iOS Application Distribution Outside the App Store: Technical Mechanisms and Security Implications”

Option B: Directly to Another Jailbroken Device
Assuming you have downloaded CrackTool4.exe (from dubious sources online) and an IPA named AngryBirds_Unlimited_Resources.ipa, here is the alleged process: cracktool4 ipa install
If you already have a jailbroken device, CrackTool4 is the gold standard for creating your own IPAs for backup or testing. For the final “install” step on a second device (jailbroken or not), pairing it with AppSync Unified (jailbroken) or TrollStore (supported iOS) yields the best experience.
If you do not have access to a jailbroken device, seeking a pre-cracked IPA from a trusted source and using AltStore/Sideloadly is your only realistic path – but be aware of the security trade-offs. Option B: Directly to Another Jailbroken Device Assuming
Remember: The power to install any IPA on your iOS device comes with responsibility. Respect developers’ work, avoid piracy of actively sold apps, and always prioritize security over convenience.
