If you’re dusting off a legendary first-generation iPad or an iPhone 4, you’ve likely hit a major roadblock: the App Store tells you Netflix is "not compatible" with iOS 5.1.1. While Netflix officially requires much newer software today, there are still ways to breathe life into your vintage hardware.
Updates: One of the benefits mentioned is the potential for more frequent updates compared to the App Store version. However, during my usage, I haven't seen an update roll out.
Q: Will I receive updates for the Netflix IPA file? A: Unfortunately, IPA files don't receive automatic updates like App Store apps. You'll need to re-download and reinstall the IPA file when a new version is released.
