Apple signing certificates
A certificate made for your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, so you can install emulators, homebrew and your own builds. No jailbreak and no subscription.
Your iPhone can do more than the App Store lets it. Emulators. Homebrew. Your own builds. One certificate opens the door.
Pay with crypto and give us your device's UDID. Our UDID tool finds it for you.
We register your device and build your certificate by hand.
Import it into Feather or ESign and install what you like.

What do you want most?
For iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Each certificate covers one device.
Your device tells us its UDID in about a minute. No computer needed.
That result has expired. Please install the profile again.
Open this page in Safari on your iPhone or iPad:
Tap the button in Safari and allow the download.
Open Settings, tap Profile Downloaded, then Install.
Safari reopens here and shows your UDID.
It asks your device to send us three things once: its UDID, model and iOS version. It can't read your data or change your settings. We keep the result for 30 minutes so we can show it to you.
It shouldn't be. If you still see it, you can remove it in Settings, General, VPN & Device Management.
The profile doesn't work on Apple TV. Read the UDID from Apple Configurator or Xcode on a Mac instead.
The short version of how this all works.
iOS only opens apps signed with a valid Apple certificate. With your own, you can sign and install apps that aren't on the App Store.
Apps signed with a free Apple ID stop working after 7 days, and you can only have 3 of them at once. A certificate lasts up to a year and doesn't have that 3-app limit. The free route costs nothing, so it may be enough if you only need one or two apps and don't mind renewing them.
You don't need a jailbreak. iPhone and iPad can do everything on the device, including finding the UDID. Apple TV needs a Mac once to read it.
No. We never ask for it, and the certificate isn't tied to it.
On iPhone or iPad, use our UDID tool in Safari. You can also connect the device to a Mac and open Finder, Apple Configurator or Xcode. Check it carefully, because the certificate only works on that exact device.
Basic is enough for most sideloading. JIT is for emulators such as Dolphin and UTM that need it to run at full speed. PPQless aims to lower the chance of a revoke. The bundle gives you both as two certificates.
With crypto. You pick the coin on the payment page and send the exact amount shown. Your order updates once the network confirms the payment, which can take a little while.
A zip with your .p12 certificate, .mobileprovision profile and a short readme. You download it from your order page, which also shows the password. It's normally ready in a few hours and within 24 at most.
Unzip it in the Files app, import the .p12 and .mobileprovision into Feather or ESign, then open any .ipa and install it. Only install apps from sources you trust.
Up to a year, unless Apple revokes it sooner.
Apple can disable a certificate at any time, and apps signed with it stop opening. No plan can rule this out. If yours is revoked within a month of purchase, we reissue it for free.
No. A new device needs a new certificate.
