The TrollStore is the no revoke method to install IPA files. So once installed any IPA with the Trollstore, the installed IPA never revokes. So you can use the installed IPA lifetime without 7 days expiring. The TrollStore is an online method and you can use the method without a computer.

But The Trollstore method does not support iOS 16.6. The Trollstore IPA install method only supports iOS 13.7 to iOS 15.6.

2. AltStore

The AltStore is the most famous method to sideload any IPA files and it was released after the Cydia Impactor method.

The AltStore supports iOS 16.6 and iPadOS 16.6 and you need a Windows PC or macOS computer to download the tool and there is no way to use AltStore online. But once the AltStore with the PC support, you can enable the Jit feature and then you can sideload the IPA without a computer.

3. Sideloadly

The Sideloadly also a good method to install IPA files. Sideloadly currently supports iOS 16.6 and iPadOS 16.6. But Sideloadly has a revoke issue and you have to install the IPA files every 7 days. So once revoked the installed IPA from the Sideloadly, you have to reinstall the same IPA with the sideloadly tool.

4. Cydia Impactor

The Cydia Impactor was the most famous IPA sideload method, but The Cydia Impactor does not support to latest iOS 16.6 or iPadOS 16.6. So recommended to use AltStore / Sideloadly methods.

Best IPA's for iOS 16.6.1 / 16.6

There are two types of IPA files available to install.

PC support IPA
No PC IPA (Plist)

The NO PC IPA is the easiest method to install and you do not need a PC for it. It is a One-click solution. But PC IPA always needs TrollStore / AltStore / Sideloadly or Cydia Impactor tools. From the following links, you can install the preferred IPA method.
