Install Summit
Put Summit on your iPhone while it's in early testing.
Summit isn't in the App Store yet. Until TestFlight opens, you install a test build from a Mac with a free app called Sideloadly and your Apple ID.
You need an iPhone on iOS 17 or later, a Mac, and a USB cable.
#Get the build
Get the latest test build, a file named Summit.ipa, from the Summit team. If you can see the Summit repo, it's the Summit-ipa file at the bottom of the latest Build workflow run.
#Install Sideloadly
Download it from sideloadly.io and open it on your Mac.
#Connect your phone
Plug your iPhone into the Mac, unlock it, and tap Trust when it asks.
#Install the app
Drag Summit.ipa into Sideloadly, enter your Apple ID, and click Start. Apple may text you a code to finish signing in.
#Turn on Developer Mode
On your iPhone, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode, turn it on and restart when asked.
#Trust the app
Go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management, tap your Apple ID and tap Trust. Summit now opens from your home screen.
#Limits of a free Apple ID
- The app stops opening after 7 days. Install it again with Sideloadly to reset the clock. Your walks and your peak stay on the phone.
- Three test apps at a time. Summit counts as two, one for the app and one for its widget.
When Summit moves to TestFlight, you'll install it from Apple's TestFlight app instead, and each build will last 90 days.
