How to install Iris on Smartphones

All our mobile versions of Iris are discontinued
We tried really hard for several years to make an awesome mobile app, but Android and iOS just don’t allow developers to make a good app for eye protection
- The problems are many
- On Android, we can only use screen overlay and it doesn’t cover the lock screen or the topbar
- On iOS, you needed to Jailbreak your phone or sideload it and most people find the installation process difficult
- This is why we decided to discontinue all Iris mobile apps and focus to make the desktop version awesome

You can find our old builds and versions of the mobile app here:

Can I get iris for iPhone and iPad? I have it on my computer but would like it on my other products
Also is there a way to use this on my iPhone
Hi! I just installed iris on y computers – works just fine. But what do I use / what tips do you have for my iphone (since apparently it is not available anymore for mobile phones)? Thanks
Hey. I’m wondering if you could download IRIS tech on the iOS with an iPhone XR
Can someone please confirm that I can use Iris on a last-generation iPad Mini (version 4) before I buy one for my child? I see Daniel’s instruction to reinstall every week if it’s not jailbroken, but I want to be sure this is even a possibility on an older iPad mini before I actually get one! Thank you
OK so installed Iris on my Windows 10 desktop all good looks great thanks BUT I have been trying for hours to install Iris on my iphone 5 SE with no success – when i put the the special App generated password in i get a error message that says cpp line 71 what_assert(!teams.empty0)

Android and iOS change constantly and you can’t make a good eye protection app
We have too much going on with the desktop app and can’t make everything awesome
Every device is slightly different and we can’t make them work the same
Smartphones are super toxic and unhealthy and the best solution actually is to just avoid them and work on your PC when you need to

Just as customer feedback, I would like to point out that it is an extremely difficult and almost impossible multi-hour process installing this app into the iPhone. It’s ridiculous and you should consider making it a more user-friendly process like it is on laptops
Are there any Iris versions for the new iOS 13.4
that’s what happens when trying to install Iris for iOS Is that my issue or des the ipa file need to be updated? I installed the newest Xcode on my MacBook but that didn’t change anything… thanks for any ideas!
