How do I test an app on my iPhone without an Apple Developer license? [duplicate]


  1. Jailbreak your device (seems you have already done this step).
  2. Build the app in Xcode. Take the binary which is compiled for iOS, not the one for the simulator.
  3. Use the ldid utility to fake codesign the binary:

    ldid -S ~/Projects/Foo/Foo.app/Foo

  4. Copy the .app folder (the application bundle) to your device (for example, using SSH). Reload the list of apps (either restart SpringBoard or use the uicache utility on the device).

  5. Profit.


there is a better and easier way to do this. Download the Jailcoder.app App and press "guided patch" or "quick patch". Then the app will do all work for you and you can directly choose your iphone from the xcode organizer. On the iPhone you need the cydia tweak AppSync for iOS 5.0+
