## Description

TrollStore is an application installer for iOS that enables the deployment of unsigned software on restricted mobile devices. By bypassing standard code signature verification and security sandbox requirements, it allows users to install and execute applications that originate from outside official distribution channels.

The utility functions as an entitlement injection tool, modifying application metadata during installation to grant elevated system permissions. It achieves this by injecting developer certificates into software bundles and utilizing kernel-level modifications to permit the execution of binaries that lack valid cryptographic signatures. These processes allow applications to operate with root-level privileges and access system resources typically restricted by the operating system.

Beyond installation, the tool provides a centralized interface for mobile application lifecycle management. It registers installed software as persistent system-level binaries, ensuring that applications remain functional and accessible even after routine operating system cache refreshes. The platform also supports a remote deployment workflow, allowing users to initiate installation tasks directly from web browsers using custom URL schemes.
