Hi everyone,
I have developed a personal application using Swift and would like to install it on my own iPad. Since I am the only user and have no plans to publish this app to the App Store, I am looking for a way to use the app long-term without subscribing to the $99/year Apple Developer Program.
I am currently using the free Apple ID provisioning method via Xcode. However, the main drawback is the 7-day expiration limit, which requires me to re-sign and re-install the app every week.
I have a few questions regarding this:
1. Are there any legitimate ways or workflows to extend the 7-day signing period for personal development?
2. Is there a way to automate the re-signing process so the app remains functional without manual intervention every week?
3. For those who develop apps strictly for their own devices, what is the most stable "set and forget" method you would recommend?
I am looking for a solution that complies with development standards but reduces the maintenance overhead. Any advice or pointers to relevant tools or documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time!
