Install the Google Plus iPhone App on Your iPad or iPod touch [Jailbreak Free]
The Google+ iPhone app has been a hot commodity since its launch this week, but what about the iPad and iPod touch? Currently the Google Plus app only works on the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 or later, but a Redmond Pie reader found an easy workaround to install the popular app on other Apple devices.
To learn how to install the jailbreak free Google Plus iPhone app on your iPad, check out the iDownload Blog team's "How To" YouTube video, and our step-by-step instructions below.
Remember, the Google Plus app was created for the iPhone, so it's not a great fit for the iPad display resolution. You can try zooming in, or if your iPad is jailbroken using RetinaPad like the person in the video, to try and make it look better.
Hot To Install the Google+ app on the iPad:
1. Download the iPhone Configuration Utility on your computer.
2. Mount the iPhone Configuration Utility and install.
3. Open up iTunes.
4. Go to iTunes app store and download Google+ app for the iPhone.
5. Open up your applications folder and go to utilities to locate and open the iPhone Configuration Utility.
6. Connect your iPad to your computer.
7. Look for Devices on the iPhone Configuration Utility screen and select iPad.
8. Find the Google+ Install button on the right and install.

Sorry, I tried and it did not work. And I followed the steps exactly. The utility did not show Google+ at all when I clicked on the iPad. Instead, it showed only the apps that were iPad compatible.

It did not work for me either initially, but I managed to make it work by adding the application manually by finding it in the following folder. Steps are:
1) Add google+ to itunes as the video has shown
2) Log out of itunes
3) Start the Apple iphone configuration utility
4) Connect the ipad to the usb port
5) Your ipad should show up under devices
6) Click on Applications under the Library on the left column
7) Click on Add+ on the top left hand corner and navigate to the following folder Administrator --> Music --> itunes --> itunes Media --> Mobile Applications -->Google+ 1.0.1.ipa and then click on open
8) Click on your iPad under devices and then on the applications and emSea should show (com.google.googleplus) and the button to the right should say "Install".
9) Click on Install and once the button turns to "uninstall", you can then quit the configuration utility.
10) If iphoto has automatically started (mac only), you an right mouse button click and unmount.
11) you should be ready to go.

It did not work for me either. The app does not show up in the list of apps in the utility. Also how could you download the wrong utility? If you have a PC you wouldn't even be able to install the Mac app on your computer, and vice versa, no?
The instructions imply it should work on PC, but the instructions and video are clearly Mac. For me, it did not work on my PC.
I tried on both Mac and PC and neither worked.

Step 4: You should see a browser window pop up that’ll allow you to navigate to the Google+ app. For me, it was located in MacintoshHD/user/*/Music/iTunes/MobileApplications/. You can also find it by right-clicking the Google+ icon in iTunes and selecting Show in…
Step 5: You should now see the Google+ app when you go into the iPhone Configuration Utility. Make sure your device is selected, click the Applications tab, and select install. You’re finished!

You (not mentioned) have to add the application to the utility… and it isn’t seen as Google+! My Mac saw it as EmSea. Really weird. But it seems to have worked.
I stumbled around and figured that out but it still didn't work. When I hit install, I get an error message.

Based on the info here I ended up copying the file CFNetwork.dll from the folder "%CommonProgramFiles%\Apple\Apple Application Support" (usually "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support") to the "iPhone Configuration Utility" folder. That helped for me (Windows XP as well)
Notice that iPCU.exe might be running in the background. I killed it before I started up iPCU.exe again.
