Real Cricket on iOS: iPhone and iPad Notes

Short answer: an Android APK file will not install on an iPhone or iPad. iOS apps come from Apple's App Store or approved routes, and they use a different file type.

Why APK does not work on iOS

Android and iOS are different systems. An APK is built for Android. An iPhone cannot open it, just like a Windows program can't run on a phone.

If a site says it can install an APK on your iPhone, be careful. It is probably something else.

What to do instead

Follow these steps:

Open the App Store on your device.
Search for "Real Cricket".
Check that the developer is Nautilus Mobile, the same as the Android game.
Read the listing for supported iOS versions and device notes.
Install it from there if it is offered.

Availability can differ by country and by game version. We don't state it as a fact here, so check the store yourself.

Be careful with "iOS mod" offers

You will see sites that promise a modded iPhone version. Many of them ask you to:

Install a profile or certificate.
Sign in with your Apple ID.
Pay for something.
Download a second app first.

We don't recommend any of this, and we don't link to any. A bad profile can expose your data.

If you can't find it on the App Store

It may not be available in your country, or the version may be different. Don't try to get it from unknown places. You can:

Wait and check again later.
Look for a similar game. See our list of cricket games for ideas.
Use an Android phone or an emulator on a PC.

Android phone around?

If you have an Android phone, the Real Cricket 25 Mod APK guide explains the options and risks. On a computer, see Real Cricket on PC.

A short checklist

Open the App Store, not a website.
Check the developer name.
Read recent reviews.
Check the supported iOS version.
Never sign in to unknown sites with your Apple ID.

What if I only have an iPhone?

You can still follow our guides. Most batting, bowling and field tips work in any version. Start with how to take wickets and how to hit more sixes.
