It is said to be the successor of the famous Cydia Impactor tool after it was no longer usable.

The necessary tools

This tutorial was done on Windows, but the process is similar for other operating systems:

Download and install the tool at Sideloadly’s homepage (note to choose the correct 32bit or 64bit version).
Install the latest version of iTunes (iTunes for Windows): Looking for other versions? > Windows. Do not use the version in the Microsoft Store.
Do not forget to prepare the IPA file of the Game or Application you want to install.

Step by step

Connect Iphone/Ipad to computer with cable or via Wifi then open Sideloadly.
Click on the IPA item to select the IPA file you want to install or drag and drop the file directly into the application.
Enter your Apple ID account in the Apple Account section.

(Skip this step if you have no need to clone or rename the application)
Select Advanced options:
- Check Change app name and then enter the name you want.
- Check Change app version and then change the version number.
- Check Change app bundle ID and then change the ID to help clone the app.

Click Start to start the process of sideloading the application, enter the Apple ID password when a message appears.
Wait until the installation is complete.

General Review

So the guide is complete, but to use the newly installed app on your iPhone/iPad, you need to go to Settings > General > Device Management & Configuration > Trust apps installed via your account Apple ID account.

Using Sideloadly is said to be the simplest way to install IPA on Iphone or Ipad. However, its weakness is that the certificate is only valid for 7 days with a free Apple ID account. So you are forced to reinstall the app or use the developer apple account to get the certificate validity for 1 year.
