iOS sideloaded apps require frequent re-signing before expiration
Problem
iOS sideloaded apps require manual re-signing after certificate expiration, and existing tools rely heavily on USB connections, lacking wireless or remote re-signing capabilities. This causes inconvenience for users deploying apps on personal devices.
Pain points
- iOS sideloaded apps expire after the 7-day certificate validity, requiring manual re-signing
- Existing re-signing tools rely heavily on USB connections or desktop clients, lacking wireless/remote flexibility
- Users must manually handle certificate expiration and re-signing processes, which is cumbersome and affects app deployment on personal devices
Questions to verify
- Does wireless re-signing support remote access via TailScale or similar VPNs to home networks?
- What is the typical expiration period for sideloaded apps, and how often does re-signing need to be performed?
- Would users be willing to pay or switch tools for a seamless wireless re-signing experience?

It's a shame we have to do this to get apps onto our own devices.
