Um, you just create a cert in XCode, pair your device to it, load the certs onto the device and run the app on it.
You're not going to do it on a Linux box for sure as the tools aren't there but you certainly can run your own stuff on iOS. You don't have to sign up for anything either - just install XCode from the app store and build stuff.
- capableweb 4y agoAh, I see. You completely missed the point... > I can start writing software on Linux for iPhone, without requiring me to have a Mac > we'll be able to develop iPhone applications from any operating system, but first Linux > how to develop iPhone applications on Linux ^ is what I wrote, and you suggest "just install XCode from the app store"? Not sure how that's compatible. Regardless, I hope we end with a phone that people can actually install their own software on, regardless of what laptops/desktop computer they own.
- iasay 4y agoThat's never going to happen and I'd rather Apple spent money on something else other than make it happen. The issue is you don't have a Mac and that's really your problem, not theirs.
- HelloNurse 4y agoRandom anecdote: if you don't pay 99€ yearly for your developer subscription Apple revokes your certificates and disables your apps on the Apple app store. Your problem indeed.
- iasay 4y agoYou don't have to pay Apple to deploy to your own device. I don't have a developer subscription. You only have to pay the 99€ to access the store and provisioning.
- bpye 4y agoYour certs only last 7 days and IIRC you can only deploy 3 apps if you don't pay the 99$/year though.
- HelloNurse 4y agoInstallation from an app store has become a reasonable customer expectation for most kinds of smartphone/tablet software.
