I think the problem is that they need to provide a way for you to sign your own binary such that it will work on the hardware?

  Which is entirely possible, no?

    It's possible, but they have to actually do it.
    • saagarjha 7y ago
      But they do? Xcode does this.

        I'm not sure if requiring you to buy a Mac meets the requirement. (I don't mean this sarcastically, I really don't know if it does).
        • saagarjha 7y ago
          You do not need Xcode or a Mac to sign applications.

            Ok, so let's assume I was able to build the source and sign it without needing a Mac. Am I then able to run my newly signed program on my iPhone freely? Do I need to get it into the app store? Are there limitations to installing it directly to my phone? Just trying to figure out where the incompatibility will the GPL is coming from.
