Can I sign the iOS app with an AdHoc profile wihtout using XCode?

Question

Preferably using Linux, Windows is also OK. Something like openssh and zip?

Answer 1

If you can remotely shell into the Mac (ssh), then you should be able to build and sign your project from the command line. It may require some setup beforehand, but xcodebuild and xcrun should get you where you need to go. (This is the same kind of thing folks do to get automated continuous integration builds set up.)

Doesn't get you out of using Xcode or a Mac, but maybe gets you out of having to be physically sitting in front of that Mac to get work done.

• xcodebuild man page
• xcrun man page

Answer 2

I would use TeamViewer ( payed version) or other remote desktop software to connect tom office mac mini. Otherwise you will break up the signing license too, beside it is hard to configure the keychain.

It will be very hard to figure out after you have signed a build why it doesn't install at client's PC, because no error messages there.
