Bypassing code sign with xcode 4.5 for iOS6

votes

We used to modify the SDKSetting.plist to allow the build of unsigned apps, by setting CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED to NO.

But since xcode 4.5, this file seems encrypted (here is its path : /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk/SDKSettings.plist).

Does somebody know how to build unsigned apps for iOS6?

It's not encrypted. Maybe you were looking at a binary version of the file? In which case you could open it with the Mac Property List Editor application. Anyway, also note that you originally had an error in your path (which I fixed in an edit). – Nate

sudo cp /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk/SDKSettings.plist ~/Downloads

sudo chmod 777 ~/Downloads/SDKSettings.plist

  • open ~/Downloads/SDKSettings.plist

  • Edit in the popup window of XCode

sudo mv ~/Downloads/SDKSettings.plist /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk/SDKSettings.plist
  • restart xcode

First quit Xcode,

Then in terminal execute

sudo vim /Applications/Xcode.app/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk/SDKSettings.plist

Navigate using arrow keys (or k and j) then press i to edit. Make your changes, then press escape followed by :wq

Start Xcode

I managed to edit the file from another XCode on another computer.

Rather than editing SDKSettings.plist you can also just pass xcodebuild an argument of CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO.
