Another day, another tweak. This new tweak aims to enhance the compatibility of certain apps on your device. Here’s how it works.

How LowerInstall works
Admit it, we come across quite a few applications that no longer support our firmware version. While this is a non-issue for average users, jailbreakers must make do with whatever firmware they have as they can’t update.
This is where LowerInstall new tweak comes in.
As its name suggests, LowerInstall Cydia tweak allows you to install unsupported apps on your current firmware version. It is developed by eminent tweak developer Julioverne.
It achieves this by spoofing your current iOS firmware version. This fools the App Store into believing that you are running that firmware instead of your actual older firmware.
Remember, even if you download an application, it may or may not work due to other constraints. Some apps do have an unofficial minimum version up till which their functions work.
Therefore, this tweak will allow you to download a particular app but it can’t control whether it will actually run on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. At present, it is proven to work with GarageBand and Clips app by Apple on iOS 10.2, both of which require newer versions.
Once you install it, restarting the Springboard from Cydia won’t cut it; you must manually reboot your device to activate its functionality.
You can spoof your firmware version from its Settings section.
Download LowerInstall tweak
This tweak is a must-have for every jailbreaker because sooner or later you are going to run into an unsupported app. Highly recommended.
LowerInstall is available for download on Julioverne’s Cydia repo (http://julioverne.github.io/) for free. It is compatible with iOS 9 and 10.
Here are some more jailbreak tweaks by Julioverne.
- BLightAlert – Use Brightness as a Notification Alert
- 3Edgy5Me – System-wide S8 Edge Notifications for iOS
- Julioverne Launches new Cydia Repo for Legal Tweaks

Can I download fortnite on my iPad 2 mini with iOS 9.3.5
It is very nice
Is there a difference between LowerInstall and AppAdmin? Can they coexist on the same device?
Yes, you can install both of them together.
iOS 9.0
Just want fortnite
You cannot get Fortnite on anything below iOS 11. The game updates it’s seasons on the App Store, so a older version of Fortnite wouldn’t work as it would tell you to update the app.
Please i want to download fortnite
Awsome tweak. But after install you must use some tricks;
1. Respring not enough restart your device.
2. If app doesn’t seen in settings download any extra tweak(Activator, Barrels etc) addition LowerInstall.
3. In settings of Lowerinstall, change your device iOS version ( if needed change device name too)
Ot is not suitable for every app but works lots of them.
Thanks for the tip, Irfan!

You can download it only from Cydia, which works only if you have a jailbreak.

How to download LowerInstall App???
It’s not an app, it’s a tweak.
Fortnite
I nn
It seems to not work for most people. I myself am trying to install Fortnite, a fully 64-bit application, on ios 10.3.3 iPad 5 using g0blin jailbreak. The package wil install, and show up in settings, and the OS seems to spoof for Cydia and other apps, but not for the App Store.
I will upload a new tutorial for that shortly.
Every time when I search for LowerInstall on the AppStore it wouldn’t show up,it would show other apps but not that app.
It’s a tweak, not an app that’s available on the App Store.
