I'm new to iPhone development and was wondering if there is a good/easy guide I could follow to install an iOS app on a jailbroken phone without joining the developer program.

Basically, I don't know if I'm going to have the time to learn everything I need to learn, but would like to make a start and see where it leads. Once I have something decent put together I can make plans to go through official channels.

I followed a guide that I found in SO, but when launching the app it immediately dies/crashes back to the springboard. So I can only assume I did something wrong, or the guide is outdated.

I'm using iOS 4.3.3 and xCode 4.

here is the link to the guide I followed: iPhone App Minus App Store?

Thanks

  • I just found a guide that worked for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/246422/how-can-i-deploy-an-iphone-application-from-xcode-to-a-real-iphone-device. all I had to do was change the 4.2 in one of the commands to 4.3 – Craigt Jun 30 '11 at 18:38
  • With Xcode 7 it's now free to run your apps on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch (beta). Look at my answer. – Hollerweger Jul 02 '15 at 14:05

Just to get the warning away.

I just found a guide that worked for me: How can I deploy an iPhone application from Xcode to a real iPhone device?. all I had to do was change the 4.2 in one of the commands to 4.3

With Xcode 7 it's now free to run your apps on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch (beta): https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

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.

This isn't my own method, but I thought I'd help you out since I've just read this elsewhere:

Answer by WrightsCS

There's a way you can do this.

You will need ROOT access to edit the following file.

Navigation to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk and open the file SDKSettings.plist.

In that file, expand DefaultProperties and change CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED to NO, while you are there, you can also change ENTITLEMENTS_REQUIRED to NO also.

You will have to restart Xcode for the changes to take effect. Also, you must do this for every .sdk you want to be able to run on device.

Now, in your project settings, you can change Code Signing Identity to Don't Code Sign.

Your app should now build and install on your device successfully."

  • This would be helpful to me too. I changed signing & entitlements both to NO. Restarted Xcode. Project settings already said don't code sign. But it still fails to build/install on my iPod. Any ideas? –  Feb 12 '12 at 05:48
  • Mate, i've followed your instructions and after building app i'm getting message from XCode "No code signature found.". Do you know why i get this and how i could resolve this issue ? Thanks. – xyz Feb 20 '12 at 11:27
  • @KamilZieliński have you been able to resolve the issue. i've exactly the same problem. – 1b0t Jul 04 '12 at 13:04
  • @1b0t unfortunetly no. For me the only option is to buy license. – xyz Jul 06 '12 at 07:53
