This already basically exists with the adhoc system. For $99/year, I can load up to 100 devices with anything I sign with my certificate, no app store required.

- duiker101 14y agoNo it's not the same. It's not even close to that. I am fine with the 99$/year, I am fine with the no appstore, I can find my methods, but limiting me to 100 devices it's whole another story.
- girasquid 14y agoI'm told that if you ask nicely, you can get the limit bumped up to 200 or 300 devices - failing that, you could also get an enterprise license (which has no device restrictions).
- guelo 14y ago$99/year + a relatively recent Mac + $4.99 for XCode + extensive technical training on how to compile and sign a project + the source code of the app you're trying to install.
- chrisballinger 14y agoXcode is "free" with your $99/yr subscription
- comex 14y agoXcode is free, period. The $4.99 thing was only in place briefly.

- jacktoole1 14y agoThanks for posting this! This is exactly what I needed.
- greedo 14y agoExtensive technical training? Seems like it's something a kid can do... http://www.theolympian.com/2010/04/18/1209941/kid-writes-iphone-app-for-charity.html http://www.theolympian.com/2010/04/18/1209941/kid-writes-iph...
- pooriaazimi 14y agoYou don't need the source code. Search for InstaSign/iReSign. And you don't need a relatively new Mac, just a Core 2 Duo Intel or newer (I have a 3 year old MBP and can sign/develop for iOS 6 beta seed 1). And it requires absolutely zero technical knowledge: You just drag and drop an .ipa file, and sync with iTunes. Xcode is free. So, only your first argument ($99/year, for 100 devices) is actually correct. --- I hate being forced to defend Apple in a case that I don't agree with what they did, but your very poor criticism made me to correct you. I'm sure you understand that it's nothing personal, and doesn't mean I agree with what Apple did.
- FireBeyond 14y ago"So, only your first argument ($99/year, for 100 devices) is actually correct." Only if we allow you blowing off the "need a Mac" requirement to equal zero dollars... It's kinda a decent sized hole in your argument.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoThat's right. Thanks for pointing out. However if I were to play smart I'd say I didn't have any argument and was just refuting my parent's :)
