- ryanpetrich 13y agoSo far as I can tell, this uses the standard method for sideloading apps via a provisioning profile, but speaks the iOS's USB device protocol directly instead of relying on the MobileDevice libraries from Apple.
- X-Istence 13y agoSo someone has to pay Apple money to get the provisioning profile in the first place...
- eridius 13y agoOh, that's it? That's not really news, then. How are they hiding it from the user though? I would expect that would require modifying and restoring the SpringBoard plist to the device, but surely the user will notice if their phone goes into a restore session.
