Usually, in common practice, a bulk of the iOS users tend to back up or store IPA files for later use on their iPhone/iPad. Also, a majority of the IPA files tend to be decrypted. Upon initiating the installation process for such IPA files, utilizing App Sync on Electra, it may happen that application gets crashed due to certain entitlements being missing. In such cases, these dumped IPA files go sheer waste and the iOS user has got no other alternative, other than deleting such crashed IPA files. Realizing this issue, Reddit developer, level3tjg, prepared a script to fix the problem and the same has been named as IPAPatcher for Electra. Please note that this script is compatible with jailbroken iOS 11 iPhone/iPad.
