There is a way to bypass requirements without jailbreaking your iPod Touch or iPhone. It works, it doesn’t damage anything, and it is legal since you can only do it to the file you bought. The downside is that the icon will be gone. The upside is that you can use the game or app. For example, the newly released Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars [App Store].
- Open iTunes and go to the game or app you want to fix. Right click it and choose “Show in Finder” (mac) or “Show in Windows Explorer” (windows)
- Drag the .ipa file to your desktop (make sure it is removed from the folder).
- Backup it up.
- Now rename it. Change .ipa to .zip and extract the file.
- Open the “Payload” folder.
- Drag .app file to iTunes.
- Sync your device and you’re done!
On final thing to consider. If the developer makes a requirement it is probably for a reason. They aren’t eliminating potential customers just for fun, or to be evil. So, if the app or game doesn’t perform properly on your device you have no one to complain to but yourself.
