And it is kind of weird. Apple only wants signed applications on their devices. They grant a one-week exception for developers because they expect that application to be in constant flux. You should never need more than a week.
But you need to sign your code to run it on a more permanent basis. I look at it more like buying an SSL certificate.
Whether that's right or not for a smartphone/tablet, that's another discussion.

- flohofwoe 4y agoSSL certificates are not the same thing as code-signing certificates. I'm not aware of any service which hands out free certificates for code-signing (and AFAIK on Apple mobile devices at least, you need to purchase the code-signing certificates from Apple only, via the $99 developer fee).

- bena 4y agoJust because the cost is baked in somewhere else, it does not mean you are not paying for an SSL certificate.
- flohofwoe 4y agoIt would be nice if I could compile my own little demos onto my own iOS device for showing them to others, and not have to care about doing this every single week. There's simply no justification for such bullshit.
- JustSomeNobody 4y ago> You should never need more than a week. Oh, come on. Don't say "never" just because you have no need or want here.
- bena 4y agoIf you are developing an application and there is no change at all to it over an entire week, the most likely scenarios are either you haven't worked on it or it is effectively complete. Now, if you've let it lie for a while, I can see wanting to run it cold just to refresh your memory of the state of the application, but other than that, I can't think of anything that wouldn't be a very uncommon edge case.
