   There is an ipod device and I want to test a game I'm working on. I haven't purchased the Apple certificate yet. Is it any possibility to run an unsigned application? May jailbreak help?

   No. Applications need to be code-signed. This means you need the certificate from the ADC (starting at 99$). Also XCode won't link the bundle because of this. If you try to install the simulator version on your iPod it won't run it. It's the wrong architecture and not code-signed.

   I don't think so. I'm not familiar with the jailbreak community but if it would be possible how do you transfer your applications to the iPod? XCode won't compile your code cause jailbreak does not affect your Mac. And the XCode Organizer will not transfer 'hacked' application bundles.

   - In general: Purchase the license and do it the legal way. Easier and your application is ready for the appstore.

   When you patch the installer. U don't need code signing. Just deploy your app & you're ready to test it.

    Meanwhile I'm not able to jailbreak the device due to "unable to recognize the specified IPSW" issue, that i hope will be fixed soon.

    Self-signed certificate helps to build an iphone executable, but, as I understand, there is no way to upload it on non-jailbreaked device. When I try to do this, XCode displays "No provisioned iPhone OS device is connected."

    One more question. I have a friend that already has apple subscription. He agrees to share it with me for dev purpose. How he may send me the certificate?
