How to Resign an iOS App

Let's say you receive an app (e.g. MyApp.ipa) from another developer, and you want to be able to install and run it on your devices (by using ideviceinstaller, for example).

Or your certificates and provision profiles have expired and you want to provide a new build to your clients without having to make a new build on the latest XCode or iOS SDK.

Prepare New Signing Assets

The first step is to attain a Provisioning Profile which includes all of the devices you wish to install and run on. Ensure that the profile contains a certificate that you have installed in your Keychain Access (e.g. iPhone Developer: Some Body (XXXXXXXXXX) ). Download the profile (MyProfile.mobileprovision) so you can replace the profile embedded in the app.

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Guide on how to remap Keyboard keys on macOS

Update 17.10.2024: macOS 15 no longer requires root privileges for hidutil, you need to add hidutil and Terminal to 'Input Monitoring' in Settings/Privacy & Security tab.

Update 13.04.2024: On macOS 14.2 hidutil requires root privileges.

If you have a mac with an INT (ISO) keyboard you might want to change the ± key to ~. During my research I found that the information on this topic is not at all centralized. I prefer this option because it does not involve installing new software.

With macOS 10.12 Sierra Apple introduced hidutil as a tool to remap keyboard keys. See TN2450.
