self sign my code and test on iphone in xCode

Question

I have created iphone project. I want to test it on my iphone. I don't have an account on itunesconnect so I'm unable to load a certificate to sign my code. I've created my own certificate (Keychain Access->Certificate Assistant ->Create Certificate). But I could not sign my project with it. xCode can not see my self-signed certificate.

How can I sign my code to test it on my device without itunesconnect account?

You have to join the iOS Developer Program (I think that's what you mean by iTunesConnec-account). It's not possible without that (except for jail-broken devices). You don't only need a certificate, but also a provisioning profile, which you get only as member of the program. — Kai Huppmann, Dec 07 '11 at 15:41

A certificate is not a provisioning profile. You need a provisioning profile for the device in question to load onto it. For this, you need to be a registered iOS developer, which is $99 per year.

Confusing answer. And it does work on a non-jailbroken phone. (hurr-durr) – Telinir Dec 10 '11 at 05:06

It's not possible to run an app on a device without a valid developer account and all that goes with it. Not legitimately anyway (I know nothing about jailbreaking.)

Besides @Almo 's answer6 You may test your application on jailbroken iPhone. There is at least one working solution: http://www.gumballtech.com/2010/04/14/on-device-testing-wout-paying-99/

..Then simply send file to device via SSH.

There's also other solutions but i don't know if it working (for example Test iOS app on device without apple developer program or jailbreak )

I worked like this (i.e. with jailbroken iPhone) one year ago, with XCode 3.x and iPhoneOS 3.x. I'm going to extend my answer with links to solutions. it s only a little inconvenient cause you have no debugger (but you still have logs) and every time you need to transfer your app through SSH manually. – Oleg Trakhman Dec 08 '11 at 08:19
