- jclardy 9y agoIn case you don’t know, I believe Apple lets you do this for free now.
- wlesieutre 9y agoBuilds expire after 7 days though. If you forget to build it again you'll be stuck with a non-working app that crashes back to home screen as soon as you open it.
- Eun 9y agoYou could resign the app using Cydia Impactor. This avoids the rebuilding process, and keeps the app data on the device.
- wlesieutre 9y agoInteresting, I'm not familiar with it. Still have to do this every week though? And I assume it only works over a USB connection, not over wifi?
- ValentineC 9y agoYes, and yes.
- wlesieutre 9y agoHm, I honestly don't plug my iOS devices into my computer much anymore, but I bet that process could be automated to run when the computer detects the device which would make it less painful. Thanks for the heads up!
- mjcl 9y agoOddly enough, not always. I have a just-for-me app working on my phone that I last built on December 3rd.
- racl101 9y agoCool. Since when? Honestly, this has been kind of a bummer for me when I've thought about trying mobile development.

- zeep 9y agowow, nice job milking your users Apple (getting someone to pay you for something that they made). I don't know why advanced users use Apple products...
- coldtea 9y ago>wow, nice job milking your users Apple (getting someone to pay you for something that they made). I'm pretty sure they didn't make the iOS API, nor the iOS App Store, nor it's documentation, etc, all of which they're getting access to. >I don't know why advanced users use Apple products... Because they're not knee-jerk reacting to a company, but value the product. And most of them are not against "capitalism" and "profit" themselves either.
- cm2187 9y agoAlthough technically if you distribute an app to yourself only, you are supposed to use the enterprise license, which costs another $200 a year. Which is why the webapp route is the way to go unless you really need access to hardware.
