iPhone App Minus App Store

Question

If I create an application on my Mac  is there any way I can get it to run on an iPhone without going through the app store   It doesn t matter if the iPhone has to be jailbroken  as long as I can still run an application created using the official SDK  For reasons I won t get into  I can t have this program going through the app store

With the upcoming Xcode 7 it s now possible to install apps on your devices without an apple developer license  so now it is possible to skip the app store and you don t have to jailbreak your device   Now everyone can get their app on their Apple device  Xcode 7 and Swift now make it easier for everyone to build apps and run them directly on their Apple devices  Simply sign in with your Apple ID  and turn your idea into an app that you can touch on your iPad  iPhone  or Apple Watch  Download Xcode 7 beta and try it yourself today  Program membership is not required   Quoted from  https   developer apple com xcode  Update  XCode 7 is now released   Free On-Device Development Now everyone can run and test their own app on a device   for free  You can run and debug your own creations on a Mac  iPhone  iPad  iPod touch  or Apple Watch without any fees  and no programs to join  All you need to do is enter your free Apple ID into Xcode  You can even use the same Apple ID you already use for the App Store or iTunes  Once you   ve perfected your app the Apple Developer Program can help you get it on the App Store  See Launching Your App on Devices for detailed information about installing and running on devices

It s worth noting that if you go the jailbroken route  it s possible  likely   that an iPhone OS update would kill your ability to run these apps  I d go the official route and pay the  99 to get authorized  In addition to not having to worry about your apps being clobbered  you also get the opportunity  should you choose  to release your apps on the store

If you patch  Developer Platforms iPhoneOS platform Info plist and then try to debug a application running on the device using a real development provisionen profile from Apple it will probably not work  Symptoms are weird error messages from com apple debugserver and that you can use any bundle identifier without getting a error when building in Xcode  The solution is to restore Info plist

Official Developer Program  For a standard iPhone you ll need to pay the US 99 yr to be a member of the developer program  You can then use the adhoc system to install your application onto up to 100 devices  The developer program has the details but it involves adding UUIDs for each of the devices to your application package  UUIDs can be easiest retrieved using Ad Hoc Helper available from the App Store  For further details on this method  see Craig Hockenberry s Beta testing on iPhone 2 0 article  Jailbroken iPhone  For jailbroken iPhones  you can use the following method which I have personally tested using the AccelerometerGraph sample app on iPhone OS 3 0   Create Self-Signed Certificate  First you ll need to create a self signed certificate and patch your iPhone SDK to allow the use of this certificate    Launch Keychain Access app  With no items selected  from the Keychain menu select Certificate Assistant  then Create a Certificate   Name  iPhone Developer Certificate Type  Code Signing Let me override defaults  Yes   Click Continue  Validity  3650 days Click Continue Blank out the Email address field  Click Continue until complete   You should see  This root certificate is not trusted   This is expected  Set the iPhone SDK to allow the self-signed certificate to be used      sudo  usr bin sed -i  bak  s XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext XCCodeSignContext    Developer Platforms iPhoneOS platform Info plist   If you have Xcode open  restart it for this change to take effect    Manual Deployment over WiFi  The following steps require openssh  and uikittools to be installed first  Replace jasoniphone local with the hostname of the target device   Be sure to set your own password on both the mobile and root users after installing SSH   To manually compile and install your application on the phone as a system app  bypassing Apple s installation system     Project  Set Active SDK  Device and Set Active Build Configuration  Release  Compile your project normally  using Build  not Build  amp  Go   In the build Release-iphoneos directory you will have an app bundle  Use your preferred method to transfer this to  Applications on the device      scp -r AccelerometerGraph app root jasoniphone  Applications   Let SpringBoard know the new application has been installed      ssh mobile jasoniphone local uicache   This only has to be done when you add or remove applications  Updated applications just need to be relaunched    To make life easier for yourself during development  you can setup SSH key authentication and add these extra steps as a custom build step in your project   Note that if you wish to remove the application later you cannot do so via the standard SpringBoard interface and you ll need to use SSH and update the SpringBoard   ssh root jasoniphone local rm -r  Applications AccelerometerGraph app  amp  amp  ssh mobile jasoniphone local uicache

Changes Notes to make this work for Xcode 3 2 1 and iPhone SDK 3 1 2  Manual Deployment over WiFi  2  Be sure to restart Xcode after modifying the Info plist  3  The  uicache  command is not found  using killall -HUP SpringBoard worked fine for me   Other then that  I can confirm this works fine   Mac users  using PwnageTool 3 1 4 worked great for Jailbreaking  DL via torrent
