Ultimate guide how to install Spotify premium for free on iOS

Hello. Do you want to install Spotify premium on your iOS phone for free? This is the guide for you.

THIS METHOD STILL WORKS AFTER MARCH 4 2025 WHERE SPOTIFY TRIED TO BLOCK 3RD PARTS MODS. I’M NOT GIVING YOU THE 11 EUROS!

Disclaimer: I do not support piracy under any circumstances. Everything you read here is for informational purposes only.

Apple has always been very strict with third-party apps, so it is (theoretically) not possible to install third-party apps on iOS devices without jailbreak or complex methods. With this guide I will show you how to get Spotify premium for free without any kind of jailbreak or comoplex methods, because this ban is circumventable with the use of a pc. To do this we will use SideLoadly, a program that allows you to “load” apps from your pc to your iPhone only with the help of a usb cable and authorization to your AppleID.

Requirements:

  • iPhone (iOS 7 or higher)
  • pc
  • usb cable to connect pc to your iPhone

Procedure:

  1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download iTunes and SideLoadly from the official site and run them it on your pc.
  2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the latest stable release available from the official EveeSpotify GitHub page. Download the latest stable release available from the official EveeSpotify GitHub page. You need to download the .ipa file present there.
  3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Open SideLoadly, connect your iPhone to your pc via a usb cable, and select it from the detected devices. Import the .ipa file you just downloaded into SideLoadly and enter your AppleID email.
  4. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Press Start, enter your AppleID password, and continue.
  5. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠When SideLoadly notifies you that it’s finished, if everything was successful, there will be a new Spotify app icon on your iPhone somewhere in your home screen.
  6. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On your iPhone open settings → General → VPN and device management, then add your email to authorized developers.
  7. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Again from iPhone settings → Privacy and security → Development mode, then turn it on. Accept the terms and restart the phone.
  8. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If everything was successful, you will be able to use Spotify premium for free after the restart. At this point you must also delete the “original” Spotify app (ty u/pklosterman73 for pointing it out to me).

IMPORTANT: I know I forgot to write this before, but you need to refresh the sideload (repeat steps 3-5 every 7 days) (ty u/coconutmillk).

For more tips or any issue, before ask please check r/sideloaded.

Apparently people here do not understand that it is only for iOS. For Android follow any guide for XManager.

I hope this guide was helpful to you. Now you can listen to music without commercial interruptions and various annoyances. Enjoy :wink:

If you, by some miracle, still have 15.4.1, you can install the IPA with Trollstore for pretty much forever. Never expires. Haven’t gotten banned or anything either. Using xmanager on my phone as well, and browser+adblock on pc

  1. If you have iOS 17.7 or iOS 18, 18.0.1 you can use SideStore+Sparcebox for 7 days refresh of unlimited apps on device using local VPN and unlimited apps (10 AppID still)

  2. You can use DNS AntiRevoke (unlimited apps, no refresh until cert expires) method too (I personally don’t like it much)

  3. Eevee Spotify is considered piracy, so it is illegal in EU too. But iOS sideloading isn’t considered piracy or illegal anywhere (except Apple’s TOS). So you don’t need VPN, just use burner Apple Account for Sideloadly.

  4. You also can buy Apple Developer account for 99$/year for sideloading without limits (except lack of Entitlements) for 100 devices. Or just buy certificate from cert provider (UDID registration or KravaSign) [I AM NOT SPONSORED OR RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CERT PROVIDERS)

  5. This sideloading method (AltStore, SideStore, Sideloadly) is abusing free Apple Developer loophole. Free Apple Developer exists for testing apps created by you using Xcode, on real device. And it comes with limitations of required refresh of app each 7 days, and maximum 3 apps installed by this loophole on device and account.

For methods check out iOS sideloading subreddit r/sideloaded

You have to plug in to your computer and reauthorize the side load every 7 days though, right?

Is there a sideload YouTube app with no ads?

“Oh shit this looks sick i can’t wait to
fire up my Macbook Air to get
this on my iph…”

“oh” :grimacing:

We’ll we be able to connect our Spotify account and keep all our songs ?

crazzzyy man this worked thx so much<333

Is there a method for Android? I need it for a (no, really)friend.

On step 6 I don’t see authorised developers in settings-general-vpn and device management (IOS 10.0.1 iphone11)

Theirs a bunch of different sideloading methods btw guys, this is just one, It’s crazy to me how many people didn’t know this, I thought most iOS users on this sub would’ve known about r/sideloaded and sidloading stuff… it’s so easy to pirate shit on iOS I love it. I currently have 40 sideloaded apps and probably like at least half of them are pirated App Store apps, lol…

oh wow its actually working, thank you :folded_hands:

For those wanting to download it on Samsung, here’s a guide for you.

Step 1. Use one of the reputable websites available in the thread

Step 2. Download the desired APK

Step 3. Run the APK

Ok have fun with Spotify premium :+1:

Does download feature work?

Do you have an android version of this

thanks for guide, this is first time this is the first time I’ve seen such clear guide. But i have an important question. If I use my main Apple ID, where I have all my data saved, one day they might block my account knowing that I used third-party apps?

what do I risk?

Can you do it on a Chromebook?

I did the guide and almost everything works perfect! Music and podcast working fine, no ads, thank you very much!

The only problem is that i can’t download a playlist. When i tried it gave a message like this:
“Native playlist downloading is managed by the server and is not available with this modification. You can, however, download podcast episodes and local playlists.”

it’s translated, so it’s a little confuse to me. In the message i can click “ok” or “local playlist download”, but this last option never start the download (the icons appears, but the download never start). Is really weird, because i can download podcast like in the official app, only in playlist i get this message/error.

Maybe i miss something in the guide? or maybe the .ipa version really don’t allow playlist download? What can i do?

Hello! Is there an alternative where you don’t have to refresh every 7 days?

Isn’t it kinda dangerous to give someone my apple email and password?
