A real first-run path
Start from clone or from a release download and move cleanly into Apple sign-in, device detection, helper pairing, source setup, and your first install.
Everything a first-time user, operator, or maintainer needs: desktop setup, iPhone helper pairing, IPA installs, official source downloads, troubleshooting, and release operations.
Choose the shortest path that matches what you are trying to do.
Use Getting Started if you want the fastest route from install to your first real device install.
Use Desktop App to understand the overview, install center, devices, Apple IDs, sources, packaging, and updates.
Use iOS Helper for permissions, code-first pairing, on-device source browsing, installs, and refresh visibility.
Use Official Source for the public feed URL, direct IPA downloads, and the current app catalog including Cortex.
