• Charles Proxy + Rewrite rules: Intercepting AppStore traffic to spoof a newer iOS version (not recommended; often results in account bans).
• Checkm8 bootrom exploit: Jailbreaking iOS 9.3.5 to install AppSync Unified, allowing manual installation of decrypted IPA files from archives like Momentum Store or iOS9.3.5.app.
• Date spoofing: Setting the device date back to 2017–2019 before launching the AppStore can sometimes bypass expired certificate checks.

• Purchased History Trick: The only reliable way to get apps is to go to Purchased → Not on this iPhone and download old versions of apps you previously owned.
• No New Apps: You cannot acquire a modern app for the first time. Example: If you never downloaded “WhatsApp” before 2018, you cannot get any version of it now.
• Jailbreaking: Some users jailbreak iOS 9.3.5 (using Phoenix or Home Depot) to install custom AppStore alternatives (e.g., Cydia, IPA files). This further increases security risks but allows installing legacy apps no longer on Apple’s servers.
