Do i have to resign my iOS application before using ideviceinstaller? I have a .ipa file from a local build server, but I don't own the code.

Is it possible to install it on my iOS device using libimobiledevice?

If the UDID of your device was in a provisioning profile used to sign the app then you will be able to install it. Otherwise you have to sign the app with a provisioning profile that has the UDID of your device.

Here is how to check if your UDID is included:

Unpack the ipa file:

Browse package contents:

Look for .mobileprovisionfile

Open it in the text editor and verify if your UDID is in the list.

As you said in a comment that you have isntalled so I assume the provisioing is not the issue here. Using libimobiledevice you do using commandline, have a look at a similar and interconnected thread(s).
