How to Download HappyChick Emulator
Clearly, because of what HappyChick emulator app offers, you are not going to find it in the iOS app store. But that’s not a problem because there are two very easy ways to install it.
Method 1: AppValley app
AppValley was released as an alternative to Cydia but has since grown in popularity so much that it is also fast becoming a go-to app store as an alternative to the official one. Why? Because everything in it is free and many of the apps and games have been modified with cool extra features. HappyChick is just one of the emulator apps on offer:
- Open Safari browser on your iPhone or iPad and open the AppValley App download page
- Tap on the download link and follow the step by step guide included installing AppValley onto your device
- Wait; when you see it appear on your device, the installation has finished
- Tap on the app icon – the first thing you will see is an error message. This is the Untrusted Developer error, and it only appears because it is an unofficial app
- To resolve this, open Settings and go to the General section
- Tap on Profiles and look for the AppValley app profile
- Tap on the profile and tap Trust
- Now you can open AppValley and search for HappyChick emulator – just type it into the search bar
- When you find it, tap on the result and tap on Get
- Tap Install and wait – this may take a few minutes
When it’s done, you will see the HappyChick icon on your homepage. You may have to trust the developer before you can use it, just follow Steps 5 to 7 again.
Method 2: IPA File Download
This method will only install HappyChick which means you won’t get all the cool content you get with AppValley. If you don’t want all the other apps, then go ahead and follow these steps. This method uses your computer to install the emulator to your device.
- Download the HappyChick IPA file onto your Mac or PC – save it on your desktop

- Connect your iPhone or iPad and open Cydia Impactor – it will look for your device
- Once you see it has been detected, you can drag the IPA file into the open window
- Type your Apple ID and password in when requested
- If an Expired Certificates warning appears, just click OK
- Now leave things be – Cydia Impactor will need a few minutes to sign and install the IPA file onto your iOS device

- Tap Trust and then confirm it by tapping Trust once more
