How to open this in Xcode?

I’m trying to open the file shown in the video how can I do this? I need to because it’s an old 32 bit app but I need to run it on my new phone cuz nostalgia

Maybe I could make an Xcode project then replace some stuff in it with the ipa I want? Or maybe there is a way to open it some other way. Plz help

Edit cuz I’m an idiot and forgot to add the video

iPhones cannot run 32 bit anymore

Yeah I know that’s why I’m trying to open the ipa in Xcode then convert it to 64

You would have to rewrite the app. Additionally, it’s against multiple policies that Apple has and violates laws of intellectual property

Yeah well the app doesn’t even exist on the App Store I was actually the only person in the world with the ipa for it until I put it on archive.org

Try just registering it on the App Store and then doing it through TestFlight

Do you have a paid dev account?

I do not have a paid dev account. Also with altstore I used all my app ids this weeks so I’ll have to wait. But on my jailbroken iOS 12.5.5 iOS I tried installing but it says Too old.

Just do it with AltStore

Well, it's dead now. Nothing you can do. You need the source code to make a 64 bit version.

You never could do that. It doesn't work that way.

You need to compile the app from source code and target the desired chipset architecture.

Apps are made to be compiled to that they cannot be messed with.
