i was recently sent an application but its a folder called Payload, and inside the folder is "Complete.app" which is a folder, once i open that it shows a bunch of files, it looks like its just a .ipa file ripped apart a i guess? i would like to know how to install this on my phone..

i simply want some advice, i dont want to hear any comments reguarding warez and cracks or whatever have you.. its a simple question that im sure has a simple anwser for it.. thanks in advance.

yes i am jailbroken running 3.0
 
If you don't have unzip on your phone, install it by typing apt-get install unzip as root.
If you followed the steps, you should get a Payload directory and an iTunesArtwork file. We should now move the application to the Applications directory (if the application is called Test):
mv Payload/Test.app /Applications/
Since the ipa does not contain correct permissions, you should change them - I recommend setting 0755 for the executable the and 0644 for files, but being more permissive also works:
chmod 0777 /Applications/Test.app -R
If you don't know what you're doing, this should make the application work (but better learn the unix permissions). You can clean the directory, where we extracted the .ipa.

Lets respring now by doing killall SpringBoard and you're ready!

I google about iPhone payloads and found this. Hopefully it is helpful.
