I have apps pending app-store submission, and I'd like to be able to test them easily sans creating any special builds or creating provisioning profiles for specific phones or ad-hoc distributions.

How can I take this distribution-ready .app application and use it on jailbroken iPhones? I tried scping the file to /Applications, but on re-spring, the application doesn't have gloss and it crashes as soon as I open it, which seems like a likely provisioning/signing issue.

How can I easily deploy on jailbroken iPhones? What's the proper way to do this?

You need to fake code-sign your app so that it can run on jail broken iPhones. Here is an URL for how to do it.

Here's the tricky part: A third party is building and signing my app. Is there no way to do this without changing the signing process in Xcode? –  Stefan Kendall Aug 6 '11 at 4:11
I don't know another way for this. Sorry –  Rahul Vyas Aug 6 '11 at 4:16
Well that sucks. The third party also builds android apps from the same base, so at least I can test that directly! –  Stefan Kendall Aug 6 '11 at 18:22
