# FileWave App Portal for iOS (IPA Install)

<p class="callout warning">This legacy IPA installation workflow is retired. Do not create new IPA-based FileWave Kiosk / App Portal filesets for iOS or iPadOS. For current guidance, see [IPA-based FileWave Kiosk for iOS/iPadOS - EOL](https://kb.filewave.com/link/1162).</p>

## Current guidance

FileWave 16.3.0 and later deploy iOS/iPadOS Kiosk through the Apple App Store version of FileWave Kiosk, using Apps and Books / VPP licenses from Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.

- Upgrade to **FileWave 16.3.x or later** for iOS/iPadOS Kiosk deployments.
- Acquire the free **FileWave Kiosk** app in ASM/ABM Apps and Books.
- Delete the legacy `iOS App - FileWave Kiosk` fileset if it exists.
- Remove any remaining associations to older IPA-based Kiosk/App Portal filesets.
- Run a **Model Update**, then run an **Apps and Books / VPP sync**.
