Sample apps for testing Sideport

Three tiny, open iOS demo apps to try out Sideport's free-tier auto-signing — no Xcode and no paid developer account required. Download an .ipa below and point Sideport at it (see the tutorial).

These IPAs are unsigned on purpose. You don't install them directly — Sideport re-signs each one with your own Apple ID, installs it over USB/Wi-Fi, and then keeps it signed automatically. That's the whole point: watch Sideport renew a free 7‑day signature for you so the app never expires.

App Bundle ID What it does
CertClock — CertCountdown.ipa ro.hont.certcountdown A live countdown to your signing certificate's expiry. The best one for seeing Sideport keep an app alive.
DiceRoll — DiceRoll.ipa ro.hont.diceroll A one‑tap dice roller.
Concentration — Concentration.ipa ro.hont.dragos.Concentration-Storyboard The classic card‑matching memory game (UIKit).

How to use

  1. Get Sideport running — see the README.
  2. Download one of the .ipa files below and put it where Sideport can read it (e.g. the ipa/ folder in the Compose example).
  3. Register it with your Apple ID + device UDID through the admin UI, or POST /api/apps.
  4. Sideport signs it, installs it, and re‑signs it before the 7‑day free‑tier limit — automatically.

Notes

  • Built unsigned for iOS (arm64), so they carry no developer identity until Sideport signs them with yours.
  • Source (all open): CertClock + DiceRoll live in sideport/samples — rebuild them with ./samples/build.sh. Concentration is at dragoshont/concentration-ios.
  • A free Apple ID allows 3 sideloaded apps per device at a time — pick whichever you'd like to try.
