What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A macOS GUI application that re-signs iOS/tvOS apps and bundles them into installable ipa files. It accepts ipa, deb, app, and xcarchive inputs and requires a signing certificate and provisioning profile from Xcode.

Use cases

  • resign an ipa with my own certificate
  • convert a deb file to an installable ipa
  • sign an app to sideload on iPhone
  • change app bundle id before installing
  • sign apps for Apple TV 4
  • repackage xcarchive into signed ipa

When to choose

  • you're on macOS with Xcode installed and need to re-sign iOS apps
  • you want a simple GUI instead of manual codesign commands
  • you need to convert deb or xcarchive files into signed ipas

When to avoid

  • you're on Linux or Windows
  • you need automated CI signing (use fastlane instead)
  • you don't have a signing certificate or provisioning profile
