NGXPlay itself supports iOS 8 through iOS 12 and requires a jailbroken device.The easiest way to get it is through WheelPal, which you sideload with AltStore or an IPA file. WheelPal itself needs no jailbreak, but NGXPlay does.
If you're on iOS 13 or later, NGXPlay's own updates don't cover your device yet. Use a related jailbreak tool like CarBridge (covered below) if your device is jailbroken up to iOS 16.7.6.
