    I’m really hoping this happens. I’d like to write a few iOS apps for personal use, but I don’t want to pay fees to be a developer.

      Hmm, aren’t the costs only for publishing on the app store and you can import an app from your own xcode for free? At least I was under that impression.

        You can only install 3 self-signed apps at a time, and they expire after 7 days. It’s meant to make it difficult for anything other than development purposes.

          Came here to say that. Expiring every 7 days is too troublesome to be worth it.

            It’s not, at least not on a Mac. It refreshes automatically, I honestly haven’t refreshed my apps in months outside of upgrading to iOS 17.
