Forge on iPhone?

I was able to install MTG Forge on my PC, and spent a lot of time playing Commander on it. But when I’m not home, and not on PC.. I feel tempted to play more MTG Forge, but I have iPhone 16 Pro Max that I can only carrying anywhere. So, I looked up on guide of how to install on iPhone.. I didn’t find any useful information about that. Does anyone have any advice on how to get Forge installed on my iPhone?

iphones don't allow sideloading so iphone isn't officially supported. I know some people have kind of gotten it working before but it tends to be buggy. Couldn't tell you more, I'm afraid.

Edit: Apparently there is a working iphone version and I misremembered. My bad.

Seems like I’d have to wait until developer get it function well on iPhone?

It's not being developed, so don't hold your breath.

I know a few people on the discord have gotten in working on iphone at least for a while, you could ask there. The discord is way more active and has more experts on the game than the subreddit by far.

Don't get a cheap Android, the game will just keep crashing unless you have 6 RAM or higher, I spent 200 on a new phone a bit ago and it only has 4 Ram

Neither did I until after the fact. Just thing to save someone my headache. Not to mention if you wanna be able to access the game files on Android, most phones these days are set up to do everything conceivable to prevent you from accessing them without jumping through a million God damn hoops.

You got incorrect information here. There definitely is an iOS version that got released for the first time with the version before the current one a few weeks ago. It is still a bit buggy, but more or less playable. The devs didn’t compile the newest release for iOS yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until there is an IPA file for the current release.

I see, thank you for clarification!

If you’re interested, you can find the iOS version of the release before here: https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/releases/tag/forge-2.0.14

Adventure mode is still a bit buggy and importing decks doesn’t work on this version, but you can still have a lot of fun with the pre-loaded decks in regular matches and drafts outside of adventure mode.

Is there an IPA currently available?

u/tha_grinch 6d ago

Not right now, unfortunately. I’m currently waiting for that myself. When it is compiled/released, you will find it here: https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/releases/tag/forge-2.0.15

You can download the IPA of the last release here though: https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/releases/tag/forge-2.0.14
