Build, sign and install iOS apps entirely on a phone running Minis (iSH) -- no Mac, no Xcode. Compile ObjC/C with clang+lld from a declarative project.yaml, package an IPA, obtain a development certificate and provisioning profile with a free Apple ID (or bring your own p12 for a paid account), sign, then install onto your own iPhone over a local loopback VPN (Surge or LocalDevVPN) using a RemotePairing file, and read the app list back to verify. Use when the user wants to build an IPA on the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ios-dev — On-device iOS build → sign → install

Everything runs on the phone (iSH), with **no dependency on Xcode and no dependency on a computer** (the one exception is obtaining the pairing file for the first time — see below).

## Prerequisites (read this before deciding to use the skill)
| Prerequisite | Notes |
|---|---|
| **Runtime environment** | Minis' iSH (Alpine, aarch64). Most scripts also run on ordinary Linux, but **loopback handshakes, `minis-bonjour`, and "phone pairing with itself" only make sense on a phone** |
| **Target device** | **iOS 17+ (RemotePairing)**; tested on iPhone19,2 / iOS 27.0.1 and iPhone19,4 / iOS 27.1 (side-button-reserved screen edge). Anything below iOS 18 is **untested** |
| **Account** | **Free Apple ID**: the login flow in this skill can obtain a certificate automatically (7-day profile, restricted App ID). **Paid developer account**: **logging in is not supported** — bring your own p12 + provisioning profile, set `IOSDEV_P12_PASS`, and sign directly with `mk.py` (see `references/signing.md`, "Bring your own p12"). Only the signing half of the paid path has been verified; it has not been tested with a real paid certificate |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openminis/minisskills/ios-dev@sha256:7f04564eae6b9b99

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.164395f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
