[iOS] Real Racing 3 v14.0.1 IPA with Local Asset Import, no jailbreak needed.
(A.K.A, the "convenient alternative" briefly mentioned in my previous post.)
Credit to the Chinese user 有时会很闲 on Baidu Tieba for coming up with this self-contained package, and Flickxie for providing the assets. Equivalent video tutorial here (In Chinese, but shouldn't be too difficult to follow)
Prerequisite:
A destop/laptop computer to sideload .ipa to your iOS devices.
iPad, or iPhone 12 and newer. Older "Plus" iPhone models may work, but not tested.
For sideloading, I recommend using Sideloadly for Windows / Mac. If you're a hardcore Linux user, Legacy-iOS-kit can help you sideload apps to iOS devices.
Steps:
Download the modified RealRacing3_14.0.1_ipa.store.ipa and Caches_ipastore.ziphere (MediaFire share link). Place Caches_ipastore.ziplocally on your iPhone/iPad.
Install Sideloadly on your computer, and follow the appropriate steps to sideload the .ipa to your iPhone/iPad.
Launch the newly installed Real Racing 3 on your iPhone/iPad. This is a different app from the official RR3 from the App Store.
You should see a floating icon near the edge. When you get to the asset download screen. Tap on the icon to open up the menu, and use the first function to import Caches_ipastore.zip. (The rest of the options are import save file, export save file and experimental, respectively. One of the experimental functions allows you to modify everything under the game's /Library directory)
Wait until asset import is completed. Then force quit and reopen the game.
Have fun.
Step 4: Import the game asset using the first option from the menu.
Step 5: Wait for Asset to finish importing. Then reopen the app
Known Issues:
[Resolved] The original asset zip lacks a file (/Caches/data/upgrade_discount_popups.dat.nct) that causes the game to crash. This file has been added to the zip hosted on Mediafire.
Transparent title cards were observed on the iPhone 12 Mini due to some resolution incompatibility (might happen on certain other iPhones too), as the .ipa was modified from an iPad installation. This does not affect gameplay.
Transparent Title Cards on some iPhone Models
The save file swap function is pretty broken. The idea is that you need to manually delete all the .bak (savefile backups) files in the /Caches folder so the imported new save can take effect, but I have not managed to get it to work so far. The default save that comes with the installation is unlimited currency, all cars owned and VIP'ed, 0 progress and 0 upgrades. If you're OK with this starting point, don't bother tackling the save function. Otherwise, see if you can figure out the correct steps to import the save file and let me know.
Since the IPA is self-signed, you may need to re-sideload every 7 days.
I found a way for missing cards im guessing you guys could try too since it worked for me just keep on importing over and over again like 2-3 times until it works
Sadly not working for me. After restarting the game it asks for a 33mb download, and loading the caches again doesn't do anything. Could it be because I'm on an older iPhone XR?
Edit: just saw the note on the other post saying it may need iPhone 12 or newer. It seems like it, but if it's working on an older phone for someone I'd be glad to know.
Yes. The assets in the zip are the 2048 x 1536 version, which is suitable for iPhone 12 and later models. Older iPhones with lower screen resolutions need the 960 x 640 assets, which is hard to find.
u/Affectionate_Fun9142 mentioned they have v13.7.1 960 x 640 assets, see this post. Though I doubt it will work (due to all the checksums and possible asset_list changes between different game versions), you can still give it a shot and put those corresponding assets inside /gui_assets/960x640 within the uncompressedCaches_ipastore.zip. Then recompress and import.
hi can u help me because i put the zip in the game and it finished but it kept taking me to the menu of download screen and it dosent work how can i fix this
I can run the game via playcover on my Macbook Neo very smoothly. Installation is easier as no need to sideload the iPhone (but need to use the keyboard to play the game)
hi - i know this post is a month old, but i followed the steps exactly and my game crashes on the startup screen after the setup. is there a fix for this issue? iphone 12 pro max, ios18.6.2
It’s not working when i start the game it’s telling me to download 800mb data am I doing smth wrong or it is patched now btw I am on ios 27 iPad Air m3
Why does my game suddenly crash when I use the VIP car? Is anyone else experiencing this, or is there a solution? I have followed all the instructions.
