Fail: running official iPhone SDK apps on jailbroken 1.3 iPhone
Posted: March 8th, 2008 | Author: edward | Filed under: iphone, jailbreak, out of doughnuts ramblings, sdk | 8 Comments »I’m playing around with the iPhone SDK, and according to the instructions here, you can’t run apps you develop on an iPhone unless you have a developer certificate. I gave it a try anyways, and while XCode recognizes the device, it won’t actually deploy to it.
Since my phone is jailbroken, I attempted to build, copy, and run the HelloWorldClassic sample app on my phone. I did this by ssh’ing into the phone and placing the built app in /Applications then turning off and on the phone. The interesting thing is that the app starts and loads the background, and widgets. It does not set the text in the widgets though before it quits. I have no idea why this is. I wonder if anyone has tried this with a jailbroken 1.4 iPhone (mine is running 1.3). I guess I’ll give 1.4 a try tomorrow.
