It'd be pretty trivial to throw together some automation that reinstalls your sideloaded apps nightly.

- tragictrash 5y agoIt's not. You obviously never really developed anything using both xcode, the automated xcode build tooling, or an iPhone before.
- mullingitover 5y agoI operated a whole bespoke enterprise build farm for iOS that did hundreds of headless xcode builds per day, plus I wired up automated app re-signing with a signing identity repository. It's a pain because Apple isn't super helpful if you're not on the straight and narrow path, but it's not rocket surgery. Just hooking up some actions to automate a build and install when 'phone plugged in' event is detected isn't that hard.
- Apocryphon 5y agoApple has been gradually improving its toolchain. Finally their Buddybuild acquisition is yielding results.
- sgjohnson 5y agoThe device has to be unlocked, and non-Xcode builds require connecting the device to the computer using a cable. So it’s not as trivial as it seems.
- mullingitover 5y agoI actually forgot that Xcode could install wirelessly! To me, unlocking the device and connecting it to the computer (which could be a mac mini next to my bed) is completely trivial. It really doesn't get much easier.
- tragictrash 5y agoI love the logical gymnastics you iphone fanboys go through to make your views fit the world we live in.
- zepto 5y agoThe world we live in is one where nobody is forced to buy an Apple product. If you don’t like what Apple does, don’t buy their products.
