Chester The Automated App Cracker
Chester is the world's first App Cracker that is compatible with the new iPhone 3GS. It is a simple program that takes any (ANY!) IPA file from Appulous and uses your own developer codesign to overwrite the invalid one with a fully functional development codesign.
Chester 1.1 Update: Now generates IPA instead of APP. This allows Chester to keep the iTunes artwork and makes PC compatible files. Also adds a new icon.
This is probably prohibited by Apple. Anything that happens while trying this out is the result of your own actions, so take this as purely educational material. It is not meant to be perfect and sometimes does not work and might get you in trouble. I can not be held responsible for your actions, so be careful and wise when using this tool.
- Place ResourceRules.plist on your desktop. Chester uses this.
- XCode tools for iPhone OS 3.0 need to be installed.
- You need an Apple developer certificate and MobileProvisioning Profile. If you can compile and put an app on your iPhone using only XCode, you already have the certificate and profile. To get the certificate and profile you need to pay Apple $100 for the developer license.
- You don't want to shell out $100 for this! Okay, the only real answer for this is that you need to find yourself an iPhone developer friend. Chances are if you don't already have the certificate then you're not capable of actaully installing it because, trust me, it is difficult.
