Dev on jailbroken iPhone

Hi there,

I’m willing to jailbreak my iPhone for so many reasons I won’t debate here, but I wonder if I could ever build games with Unity and test them after the jailbreak.

Is there somebody who has a jailbroken iPhone and codes with Unity ? Or is there any protection in Unity / Xcode that checks the iPhone to be not jailbroken , otherwise it refuses to compile ?

Thanks :smile:

jailbreak makes zero difference

actually, a jailbreak does help…when you jailbreak your device, it removes all codesigning requests (the things that make sure all your apps are from the AppStore or a develoer)

So, there are complicated guides on the internet about how to codesign without paying the Apple iPhone Developer fee but after about three hours of trying, I just decided to cough up the $99

PS
Jailbreaking does NOT work on the iPod Touch Second Generation

i don´t think its a good idea you discuss such things here, if people from apple notice and find out your identity in some way they might block you from releasing stuff on the appstore or do other measures,no?

ha… no… and you can run your apps with a self sign but in the root partition not mobile so you dont get the same restrictions, so for beta testing its pointless.

I have two iPhones for development, and I keep one of them jailbroken, for various reasons. Unity games work fine on it.

It’s usually the phone I run my development code on, to get around the annoying bug in XCode where sometimes the run log prints the debugger’s data stream. When that happens (a lot lately) on the jailbroken phone I can just ssh into the phone and tail the console to see my NSLog()s.

The developer agreement I signed did not say “I promise to never jailbreak an iPhone”.
