## What it is
DebProvision is a cross-platform desktop application for sideloading apps onto iOS devices, serving as an alternative to Cydia Impactor and AltServer. It bundles Scarlet, which lets users add repos and install jailbroken-style apps without a jailbreak.

## Use cases
- sideload ipa files onto iphone from my computer
- alternative to cydia impactor that works on linux
- install jailbroken apps without jailbreaking
- sign and deploy apps to ios device over usb
- resign apps with apple id on windows
- add repos and install tweaked apps without jailbreak

## When to choose
- you need to sideload iOS apps from Linux, Windows, or macOS
- Cydia Impactor or AltServer no longer works for you
- you want to install jailbroken-repo apps without actually jailbreaking

## When to avoid
- you need official App Store distribution or enterprise signing
- you require a fully audited, licensed tool for production device management
- you need MDM-style bulk device provisioning
