Is your iphone jailbreaked?
if it is jailbreaked you can install the ipa files, but maybe you need to do something more, look the last messages of this board, somebody asked something similar.

Is your phone jailbroken? If so, you may be able to install it using a method like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/246422/how-can-i-deploy-an-iphone-application-from-xcode-to-a-real-iphone-device

If not, the only option is to have the ipa signed with a valid certificate. I believe phonegap build should work as far as testing goes, but you'll need a apple cert eventually if deploying to the app store.

Which is why I use XCode and pay Apple their $99. *way* easier.

You can create a fake self signed certificate, but you'll need a jailbroken phone to install the app

Hello.
I wanna build ipa files for my projects but I don't use developer program.
How can I hack Xcode?

Xcode version: 5.0.2

Not supported.

Pay the $99. Consider it cost-of-doing business.

Simple Open Finder and press Command + Shift + G and paste: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/
Then you will see SDKSetting.plist, open it and change CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED and ENTITLEMENTS_REQUIRED to NO.

Once you've done it. Switch to your xcode project -> Build Setting -> Code Signing: change every setting to Don't design code.
Yeah, it might work. 
Plug in your phone, select your phone as simulator and run......


Note: You phone must be jailbroken and installed  AFC2add  and AppSync.

Again, not supported. You'll need to pay the $99 at some point to submit to the store, and you can't be 100% confident of the testing results on a jailbroken device. (Any number of jb tweaks could be getting in the way and causing problems. Not /likely/, but possible.) I'm not anti-jb (have done it many times), but don't do it on your test devices.

Finally, unless you use non-core plugins, the PG Developer App makes it even easier to test on your device without anything extra. Once you need non-core plugins, of course, you're going to have to pony up the $99.
