Wirelessly install app from XCode on (jailbroken) iDevice

I build my app for iPhone (without code-signing, with help of Jailcoder utility). How to install it on my jailbroken device over Wi-Fi? I need only to install it, without running/debugging from XCode.

As an approach I tried to pack it as IPA and download in Installous, but installation failed with unexpected content error message.

Is there a working method?

Solution

  • I solved it via Installous. Previously the build was not configured for my device and thats why there was an error.

    Steps:

    • archive build in XCode (Product->Archive)
    • reveal the archive folder in finder, get app folder from it
    • place app folder into Payload folder and compress this all
    • change extension from .zip to .ipa
    • in Installous get device IP adress, than enter it in desktop browser
    • upload ipa file
