How to install MediathekViewMobile on iOS devices.
MediathekViewMobile will not be allowed in Apple's App store due to its restrictive policies. However, I believe that everyone should be able to install any software they like on their own devices. Apple's App store can be bypassed using the Alt Store - an alternative App store. No jailbreak required.
- Your personal Apple ID
- A Mac or Windows computer
First, download Alt Server to your computer from here.
Use the AltServer to install the AltStore App on your device.
Please see here how to do it (only couple steps).
Then, download the MediathekViewMobile application from Github to your device.
The name is MediathekViewMobileApp.ipa.
Use the files app on your device to find and open the downloaded file.
This should automatically open the AltStore application.
Alternatively, open the AltStore application and navigate From to the My Apps tab.
Tap the "+" button in the top left, then select MediathekViewMobileApp.ipa.
Reauthenticate with your AppleID if requested.
The AltStore will now install MediathekViewMobile on your device.
From the AltStore FAQ
Apps that have been installed using non-developer Apple IDs (in other words, Apple IDs not tied to a $99/year Apple developer account) are only valid for 7 days, at which point they will no longer open. To compensate for this, AltStore will periodically attempt to refresh your apps in the background, and you can always manually refresh your apps from within AltStore.
This means that you should at least once a week turn on your computer and have AltServer running to
keep using MediathekViewMobile after 7 days.
But don't worry if it is expired already, MediathekViewMobile can always be enabled again at a later point in time.
You will also NOT loose access to your downloaded videos - they can still be found in the MediathekView folder on the device.
