You can if you sign it with your own, free, certificate. It will just expire quickly if free and require constant updating but surely that's an acceptable price

You can if you sign it with your own, free, certificate. It will just expire quickly if free and require constant updating but surely that's an acceptable price to pay.
- writepub 8y agoCan you please elaborate on this. Can a developer distribute iOS apps signed with their own certificate, that iOS will seamlessly allow to install and run?
- ikeboy 8y agoNo. They can install it on their own device, and others can sign with their own certificate and install. Just Google "sideload iOS apps without jailbreak", you'll find all the guides you need.
- saagarjha 8y agoYes, but it requires work (namely UDID registration, and there are limits to this).
- writepub 8y agoThat's not sideloading, is it? It is just developer workflow to enable testing with a wider audience without actually submitting to the app store. By sideloading, I mean the ability to install and run a binary downloaded off the internet. Mac OS allows this, but does put a prompt out. Android allows this as well. No certs, no UDID etc.
