1. Create a self signed code signing certificate.
On Mac OS X, go to Keychain Access -> Certificate Assistant -> Create a Certificate. It opens the certificate assistant window. Enter name (in my case it is securitylearn.net) and select certificate type as Code signing. Check let me override defaults option. Hit continue until it creates the certificate.
After creation of the certificate, the keychain looks as shown in the image below.
Non-native platforms, like Flutter or React Native, wonât make iOS builds without Mac either. A more comfortable way to build iOS apps is to use an Xcode project. Now you just install Xcode and start developing iOS apps and test/debug with Simulator. IPhone/iPad (iOS) app development and Publish to iTunes Store. For publishing your app on iTunes store you need to pay (example $99 / year). So For complete iOS Development Setup you need. Get Mac Mini or Mac Machine; Create Developer Account on Apple. A Mac Build Server, which is a specialized kind of Mac that can be used to compile iOS apps. Youâll create those apps on your Mac, and then instruct the Build Server to compile the app for you. A dedicated Mac is the most convenient, and the most powerful option. The Easiest App Builder online. Make an App for Android and iOS without writing a single line of code. Trusted by 100,000+ businesses. You will however need Mac OS X and Xcode to create a signed application bundle that you can submit to the app store for distribution. Some of the cross platform tool vendors offer the ability to distribute your applications through them, in which case you do not need OS X at all, but the apps will end up under the vendor's account.
2. Copy /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Info.plist to desktop. Edit the plist file and replace all occurrences of XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext by XCCodeSignContext (3 places â defaultproperties, runtimerequirements, overrideproperties).
Before modification:
After modification:
3. Copy the modified Info.plist file to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/ directory and replace the existing file.
4. Close and Restart the XCode. 5. Create your project in the XCode and in the project target settings choose the certificate created in step 1 as the code signing identity. Project target settings are shown below.
6. Build the project for iOS device (Project->Build).
7. Build creates the .app file in the build/Debug-iphoneos folder.
Default location for .app file is â
/Users/[user name]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[your app]/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/
8. Create a folder named Payload and copy the .app file into it.
9. Archive the Payload folder. It creates Payload.zip.
10. Rename the Payload.zip to [app name].ipa. We have successfully created the ipa file without developer certificate and this can be installed on a jailbroken device using iPhone configuration utility.
This comes handy for pentesters as well, if they want to create vulnerable demo apps.
To install self signed ipa on iOS 6 devices, (Thanks to Leo for sharing this info)
1. Go to Cydia->Manage and add http://gdeluxe.com/repo as a source.
2. Download and install AppSync for iOS 6.x from Cydia.
3. Now you can install the ipa file using the iPhone configuration utility. Share this:

No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
Did you hit build & run menu or just build menu?

You beat me i come to edit my commant because itâs worked
many thanks !!
p.s Moto January 22, 2013 at 8:20 pm
do you know why iâm getting this msg when iâm trying to start the build from the button in the left corner (emulator works but ios device give me this error above)
Thanks for the guide I have been looking for a way for a day or two now. For some reason your images are not loading in FireFox⦠will try in another browser.
Moto January 22, 2013 at 8:21 pm
N/M after I hit submit the images loaded⦠strange.
satishb3 January 22, 2013 at 9:37 pm
It might be an issue with caching plugin. I will look into it. Thanks.

Hello¡ Iâve followed the steps and, when iâve builded the project i donât have the folder Debug-iphoneos. Iâve only Debug-iphonesimulator and Release-iphonesimulator. satishb3 February 7, 2013 at 6:52 am
Is necessary to make a build for achieving? Thank you in advance
Build the app for device not for the simulator. Then you will see iPhoneos folder.
vince February 9, 2013 at 3:50 am
I did all the steps but when i go to iphone config tool to add/install the app it wont install. it gives me a signing error
i have iphone 4 xcode 4.6 ios 6.1
satishb3 February 9, 2013 at 6:57 am
Is ur phone jailbroken?
vince February 9, 2013 at 3:02 pm
Yes it is
satishb3
![]()
strange. Try this, from terminal run the below code sign command to sign the binary with the self created cert.
codesign -fs âyour Certâ binaryfile
After signing, convert the binary file to ipa file.
vince February 10, 2013 at 7:00 am
so i would just open Terminal and type the code
codesign -fs âmyCerttitleâ binaryfile
and after doing that i click build in xocde to make it a .app then do the payload zip and rename thing?
satishb3 February 10, 2013 at 8:01 am
Thats wrong.
Build .app file (ex:abc.app) Now copy the .app folder to desktop Inside .app file there is executable file (ex:abc) . We need to sign this executable binary. From terminal move to desktop, type codesign -fs âsecuritylearnâ abc.appabc
(if ur cert name is not securitylearn change it accordingly). vince February 10, 2013 at 7:35 am
Then copy the .app into payload folder and create ipa.
So i retried this tutorial again and the exact error it get from iphone config utility is âThe identity used to sign the executeable is no longer validâ
vince February 11, 2013 at 2:00 pm
So it seems i can install apps on my old ipad1 running iOS 5.0. but when i try to add apps to my iphone 4 with ios 6.1 untethered jailbreak with evasion they wont sign. Ive tried the way in this tutorial, ive tried with ifunbox, and ive tried using installipa from cydia
satishb3 February 14, 2013 at 5:21 pm
I will check out and update you if I find anything.
Leo February 15, 2013 at 12:43 pm
I got the same error
âThe identity used to sign the executable is no longer validâ
iPhone5 with iOS 6.1 evasion jailbreak.
hope u could figure out the solution for thisâ¦. waiting for your good news.
Leo February 15, 2013 at 10:23 pm

I followed your steps from start to finish twice, and both times I am unable to install the IPA using iPhone Configuration Utility, or other methods such as AppCake. I get the following error: is not a valid mobile application. http://puu.sh/25YnA Any idea?
Jonathan February 21, 2013 at 1:52 pm
I ended up documenting everything I did to get it working. Iâm not sure specifically what action it was that got it working however. There were quite a few steps. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/82896/how-to-compile-xcode-4-6-project-without-provisioning-profile-then-run-it-on-ja/

I am not sure why you got that strange error. The above steps worked for me and for few others too.

I am trying to install my app on JB iPhone 3gs ios6.1.2 and I keep getting this error âThis application does not support this deviceâs CPU type.â. I did setup the supporting architecture to armv6 as mentioned in other posts on StackOverflow â No luck. What could I be doing wrong.
satishb3 March 5, 2013 at 9:07 am
May be edit the info.plist file and change the default build options. That might help.

I follow the steps to the letter and worked perfectly to the first try. Temi June 23, 2013 at 7:34 pm
Thankssss. Ipad4/Mini, iOS 6.1.2 jailbroken. gdeluxe repo looks that it is dead, but AppSync for 5+ in Cydia woks OK.
Hi
I followed these steps but i got this error:
âCode Sign error: The identity âkeyNameâ doesnât match any valid,non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains.â
hope u could figure out the solution for thisâ¦. waiting for your good news
satishb3 June 24, 2013 at 11:00 am
Seems like a problem with the certificate. Try creating a new codesign certificate with a new name and use that name in xcode build settings.

I installed xcode 5, does this works in it? I donât have internet at home, or developer account. Imagine me as a completly unconnected person, can I build IPA using this method on xcode 5? satishb3 November 16, 2013 at 10:14 pm
provisioning profile isnât included in the picture of step 5, thatâs why iâm worried too. please, help!!
I didnât test it on Xcode 5. Check this link, it might help â http://www.sysrage.net/guides/ios-programming/building-and-running-ios-applications-without-a-paid-developer-license

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! Iâm having a problem, the first try it worked perfect, but on the second try it didnât work. And the project its almost the same, the changes I did was made outside xcode. Luckily I saved the project that works, I did a rebuild and still works, but my other project donât. Can I send it to you both projects so you could figure out whats going on? satishb3 July 23, 2014 at 9:39 am
Iâm working on a AR project, Mavericks, Xcode 5.0.2, iTools, Ipad 2, IOS 7.1.2 (Pangu Jailbreaked)â¦. Thanks!
Email me [email protected], I will take a look.
Ric August 25, 2014 at 8:15 pm
Hi, does this work with xcode 5.1? Once created the .ipa, can it be installed on non jailbreaked devices using iTools? Thanx
satishb3 August 25, 2014 at 8:30 pm
I havenât tested on latest Xcode. https://investmentever167.weebly.com/seed-app-on-mac.html. Give a try, it might work.

Im trying the last week to find a way to do this with Xcode 6. Any update on this?
Marcelo June 19, 2015 at 3:22 am
First of all thank you very much about your post âBuild ipa file using XCode without provisioning profileâ.
The truth is that I want to create an iPhone application, but not for selling, just for me, for my use, so I think it is ridiculous to pay USD99 each year just for an application programmed by me. Isnt it?
I have been following all the steps in the forum, but I still couldnt build the application.
I am using a MAC virtualization under Windows, Yosemite. It Works fine.
I have installed XCode 6.3.2. I have créate my own certificate OK. I have change XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext by XCCodeSignContext I have change certificate name in Code Signing
But when I hit play to buid an error displays the following message: âNo provisioning profiles with a valid signing identity (i.e. certificate and private key pair) were found.
Xcode can attempt to fix this issue.â
I will be gratefull if you can help me!
Thank you in advance!
