# How to Install Your Apps on Your iPhone

> Install your native built Swift App directly onto your iPhone to test.

Once Milq finishes building your app, you can also install your project onto your iPhone as a naitive app. All your Milq apps are signed using Apple credentials which means you will have to verify your Apple Account on the Milq web portal. Follow the steps below:

## Install steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Account.Milq.ai">
    Go to [account.milq.ai](http://account.milq.ai) to sign-in using the same account that you used to sign-in on the Milq iPhone app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Your Apple Credentials">
    Sign-in using your Apple ID and Password. Then verify your credentials by inputting the code you will receive from the system dialog. We <u>do not store</u> your Apple Credentials on our database. 
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register Your Device">
    You will then need to register your device so you can start receiving builds. Download the Milq Configurlation Profile to your iPhone. Got to your Settings, navigate to VPN & Device Management, and click "Install" on the Milq Device Registration profile. This will register your device UIUD against your Apple Credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trust Your Own Account as a Developer">
    Navigate to the Build section on [account.milq.ai](http://account.milq.ai) and click Install on any of your builds. If this is your first installation, Apple will first request you Trust yourself as a developer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install Your Builds and Enjoy!">
    Navigate back to the Builds section and download any of your builds straight to your phone! When your account session ends, you will need to re-verify your Apple Credentials on the web portal but the rest are one-time setups. 
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Installed apps appear and behave exactly like any normal iPhone app. You can move the icon, add it to folders, and use it just as you would any other app on your device.

## Troubleshooting installs

<Accordion title="I've done all the steps but I can't download by builds">
  Ensure that you're signed into the web portal using the same account as your account on the Milq app. Another issue is that you might be using a free Apple Developer accountyour  which limits the number of builds you can install to three. In that case, you will need to delete one of the installed builds and free-up space for another.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why can't I open my installed app?">
  On a free developer account, your installed apps are only available to you for 7-days. You will need to re-download them from the Milq web portal to refresh this timer. 
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="iOS shows an &#x22;Untrusted Developer&#x22; prompt">
  Because Milq-built apps are distributed outside the App Store, iOS may ask you to trust the developer before the app can run. To do this, open **Settings > General > VPN & Device Management**, tap the developer name, then tap **Trust**. Return to your Home Screen and open the app — it will launch normally.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="The app doesn't appear on my Home Screen">
  Installation can occasionally take a moment to complete. Wait a few seconds and check again. If the app still hasn't appeared, tap the build link in your SMS once more to re-trigger the installation. If the issue persists, visit the [FAQ](/help/faq) for additional steps.
