When Google released the official Google+ app for the iPhone, it was a mysterious app that wouldn’t instal on iPads or iPod Touches. Now, most people would be content using the eminently functional mobile browser version of the service, which works perfectly well straight out of Safari. Others, however, desperately want to see that little app blown up to double size on their iPad — and this tutorial is for them, courtesy of RedmondPie.
Step 1: First, you will need to download iPhone Configuration Utility. The download links are given below for both Mac and Windows:
Step 2: Once you have downloaded it, simply install it like any other software on your PC or Mac, it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.
Step 3: Now if you haven’t already, connect your iPad or iPod touch with your PC or Mac.
Step 4: Download Google+ for iPhone directly from here on your computer.
Step 5: Launch iPhone Configuration Utility, on the left hand side, you should see your device. Click on your device name.
Step 6: On the tabs you see on the top of the screen where it is showing your device information, click on “Applications”.
Step 7: Now click on Add+ button and browse for the Google+ .ipa file which you downloaded in Step 4 above.
Step 8: In the “Applications” list, you should see the Google+ app, and right next to it should be an “Install” button, simply click the install button and in a matter of seconds the Google+ app will appear on your iPad or iPod touch. That’s it, you’re done and ready to scoop some friends inside your +Circles!
Yeah, it’s a total kludge, but if you don’t want to wait around for the real version, it’ll do in a pinch.
