Finally! I've been waiting for an iOS jailbreak to finally be able to use bitcoin related stuff on my iPhone and iPad. It's been a pain so far.

This is the first time that the iOS walled garden approach REALLY started to bother me. The other was to do with emulation but that was filed under 'minor nit-pick'.

I need some help understanding this.

So, at my job the way I install iOS apps onto phones that are not at the AppStore is that the developers give me the .ipa file and I do:

  ideviceinstaller -i /path/to/ipafile
(You can get this prog by doing "brew install ideviceinstaller", takes awhile)

Is there some reason the bitcoin devs can't upload the ipa somewhere and have everyone do that?

EDIT: Ah yes, joshstrange & jreed91 are correct. the iOS devices I use are all registered to apple's dev portal and the apps are signed.

I'm guessing it has to be signed to run on the device. But that's my uneducated guess.

I can't think of a compelling reason to jailbreak my iPhone in 2013, and I suspect that's true for a lot more people than it was in the past.

I have several to do it.

The one that pisses me off the most is not having "Lockinfo".

Another one is to be able to share your internet with a PC without begging to your provider.

And the list goes on. (facetime on 3G...)
