Can I build an app for my iPhone that doesn't expire?

Is it possible to build an AR app for iPhone that doesn’t expire?
It is just a hobby project, I just want it for my own phone. I don’t want to distribute or publish it.

I have successfully build the app for my iPhone with xcode, but it sadly expires after a week or so.

As I understand, you want to create an app without having a developer account because I have not such a problem using a developer account.

My test applications never expire.

Anyway, all the information that I know related to not having a developer account is here:

My understanding is there is no official way around the one week expiration without a developer account. This is an XCode limitation rather than one on Unity’s side, unfortunately.

Thank you. I am trying to enrol to a developer account, but I get a message saying they can’t verify me - did you have problems with that?

Any questions about enrolling in the Apple Developer program should be directed to Apple. As others have said, you’ll need to enroll in the Apple Developer program to sign your apps with credentials that don’t expire.

Thank you - I did manage to get in contact with apple support, who helped me set it up.

Apparently I couldn’t enroll because the phone no. registered to my apple ID didn’t match the country code of my apple ID.
