Open your sideloading tool, drag the FIFA 17 IPA into the interface, and input your Apple ID credentials to sign the app.
However, for the vast majority of users with a modern iOS device, the effort is likely not worth the reward. The high probability of 32-bit incompatibility, the potential for dead content servers that render the game unplayable, and the inconvenience of the 7-day re-signing requirement are significant hurdles. Furthermore, EA has since released newer, officially supported titles like EA Sports FC Mobile , which, while different, offer a functional and secure experience.
Here’s a helpful write-up about — what it means, where it comes from, and important things to know before you try to find or use it.
Instead of chasing an unreliable FIFA 17 IPA:
| Requirement | Official Specification (2016 Release) | Notes for 2026 Compatibility | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | iOS 8.0 or later | May run on newer iOS versions, but no longer officially supported. Performance and stability are not guaranteed. | | Installation Size | ~84.6 MB for the initial installer | You will still need the initial IPA file of this size or larger, depending on the source. | | Total Installed Size | ~176 MB (including additional data) | The game will likely need to download additional data on first launch, which may fail if EA's old servers are no longer accessible. | | Compatible Devices (Original) | iPhone 4s or later, iPod touch 5th gen or later, iPad 2 or later | Newer devices (iPhone 12 and up, modern iPads) might run the app, but resolution scaling and 64-bit compatibility could be issues. | | Supported Languages | The game did not officially support Chinese (不支持中文) at launch. | No updates have been released to add new languages. |
