Setup (Devices)
Install Clout App on your iPhone
Three ways to install Clout App on an iPhone: one-click sign-in with an Apple ID, App Store Connect API keys, or Xcode with a free Apple ID — plus certificate trust and re-signing.
A companion app — Clout App — must be installed on the iPhone so Clout Uploader can control the device. There are three ways to get it there:
| Method | Requires | Signature valid | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-click sign-in (this page) | Paid Apple Developer Account ($99/year) | 1 year | Most users |
| App Store Connect API | Paid account + API Team Key | 1 year | Fleets, no password entry |
| Xcode manual install | macOS + free Apple ID | 7 days | Trying things out for free |
One-click installation
Requires: paid Apple Developer Account ($99/year). Enroll →
This is the simplest method — everything is done in one click inside Clout Uploader.
In the Devices section, find the Apple authorization area
Enter your Apple ID (email) and password → click Sign In
Apple will send a push notification with a 6-digit code — enter the code and click Verify
- If you didn't get a push — click Send SMS, select a number, and enter the SMS code
After signing in, select the device and click Install
Wait for completion (the progress bar will show stages, usually ~30 seconds)
Security: your password is used once for Apple authentication and is not stored. The connection goes directly to Apple servers via HTTPS. No data leaves your computer.
Free Apple ID does not support one-click installation — use the Xcode method instead.
| Free Apple ID | Paid ($99/year) | |
|---|---|---|
| One-click installation | Not available | One click |
| Validity | 7 days (via Xcode) | 1 year |
| Re-installation | Weekly | Not needed for a year |
Trust the developer certificate
This step is required after any installation method. Without it, the app won't launch.
On the iPhone, open Settings
Go to General → VPN & Device Management
Find the developer profile (contains your Apple ID or Team ID)
Tap Trust
Confirm
After this, Clout App will launch automatically when a thread starts — no need to open it manually.
Re-signing (free Apple ID)
If you installed Clout App with a free Apple ID, the signature expires after 7 days. After that:
- One-click installation — not available for free accounts
- Xcode — open the project and run Product → Test (full steps)
We recommend a paid Apple Developer Account ($99/year) — the signature is valid for 1 year, no re-installation needed.
Next steps
- Add TikTok accounts — create account lists and log them in on the device
- Posting schedule and threads — configure what and when to publish
