[Reprint] Developing
Without provisioning Profile

To develop for the devices one shoshould first obtain a provisioning profile by joining the iPhone developer Program (which costs $99 ). however, some simple tricks can be used to make xcode compile and Debug on jailbroken devices without provisioning profiles.

These steps are only tested for xcode 3.2.x/iPhone SDK 3.x and xcode 4.3.x/iPhone SDK 5.x. If for some reason you are stuck with xcode 3.1.x, try [1].

Compiling

Please Ming these steps allows you to use xcode to compile any applications and deploy it yourself.

• 1. Create a self-Signed code-signing Certificate with the name "iPhone developer" on the "login"
  (Default) keychain using keychain access^[1].
• 2. Open/Applications/xcode. APP/contents/developer/platforms/iphoneos. Platform/info. plist(4.2
  Or below:/Developer/platforms/iphoneos. Platform/info. plist)
• 3. replace all occurrencesXciphoneoscodesigncontextByXccodesigncontext.
  There are three of them (xcode version 3.2.4 + ).
• 4. Save the file and restart xcode.

If you upgrade the iPhone SDK, You need to perform steps 2-4 again.

Replacing codesign with ldid

These steps are necessary for debugging, since the entitlement can no longer be inserted by using Ming steps 1-4. To actually debug your app, make sure you have add-GTATo other
Code signing flags of your target.

• 5. Make sure you have ldid on your Mac^{[2].
  Place a copy in/Usr/local/bin.}
• 6. Create the Python script/Usr/local/bin/ldid3.py.
  Make it executable. Fill it:

#!/usr/bin/env pythonfrom sys import argvfrom subprocess import check_callfrom os.path import basename, splitext, joinfrom tempfile import NamedTemporaryFileapp = argv[-1]obj_path = join(app, splitext(basename(app))[0])if '-gta' not in argv:    check_call(['/usr/local/bin/ldid', '-S', obj_path])else:    with NamedTemporaryFile() as f:        f.write("""<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0">  <dict>    <key>get-task-allow</key>    <true/>  </dict></plist>        """)        check_call(['/usr/local/bin/ldid', '-S' + f.name, obj_path])

• 7. Open iphonecodesign. xcspec.
  • For xcode 4.3 the file is:/Applications/xcode. APP/contents/developer/platforms/iphoneos. Platform/developer/library/xcode/privateplugins/iphoneos
    Build system support. xcplugin/contents/resources/iphonecodesign. xcspec
  • For xcode 4.2 The file is:/Developer/platforms/iphoneos. Platform/developer/library/xcode/privateplugins/iphoneos
    Build system support. xcplugin/contents/resources/iphonecodesign. xcspec
  • For older versions the file is:/Developer/platforms/iphoneos. Platform/developer/library/xcode/plug-ins/iphoneos
    Build system support. xcplugin/contents/resources/iphonecodesign. xcspec
• 8. Replace the line sayingCommandLine
  = "/Usr/bin/codesign"WithCommandLine = "/usr/local/bin/ldid3.py". It shoshould be around line
  12.
• 9. Save the file and restart xcode.

If you upgrade the iPhone SDK, You need to perform steps 8-9 again.

Allowing apps with invalid signatures to be installed

These steps allow you to install an unsigned app to the device. This method only works for iOS 4.0 or above.

• 10. Create a file/Var/mobile/tdmtanfOn
  The device, to enable Apple's "tdmtanf bypass" inInstalld(Warning: doing so will also put you
  In a sandboxed gamecenter^[3]).

If you upgrade the firmware, you need to do step 10 again.
