Apple slams the door in front of Super Mario

Apple It closes a loophole in its Enterprise software for iOS developers. Through this loophole MacBuildServer company helping mobile software developers can create and to install an unofficial app called GBA4iOS, by which people were playing Nintendo games on their i-gadgets. Technically, the application emulates the console Game Boy Advance.

Nintendo does not release their games for iOS, so it is obvious that the application that allows you to play pirated games will only work on jailbroken iPhone or iPad.

According to information from MacBuildServer, someone from Apple called them and claimed a violation of an agreement with the company. Apparently, MacBuildServer tried to install the app on the iPhone, but jumped out an error on screen: "failed to load application". The reason is probably that Apple or revoked certificate, or put such restrictions that third parties are not allowed to distribute the application.

Recall, MacBuildServer acted as an official account owner to install GBA4iOS application. All that is required to install the application, so it is click "Install» ( «Install») on the application page creator

Github. And without any jailbreaking by simple manipulations you can install the application.

MacBuildServer decision to open access to its users any certification was an obvious violation of the Apple environment.

True, it is surprising that Apple approached the issue rather reserved. For example, a company could totally change its Enterprise software framework for developers to prevent mass installation test application (but it can still do it, of course).

For those who are desperate, there is still another way to get GBA4iOS application, although it is not that easy and cheap: you need to download emulator on your developer account, the cost of which - $ 99 per year, and receive a certificate to install applications that are not available in the App Store.

What is still not clear whether MacBuildServer still create GBA4iOS app users to your Developer account. Experience suggests that it would be. Hints at this statement and MacBuildServer, in which they are asked not to lose hope and promise that there will be an update that will bring "white magic": "We are working on the release of a large number of new opportunities for developers to help them produce great applications as soon as possible. But what to do now? Maybe it's time to take part in the program Apple's developer for $ 99 a year, and continue to use our service to test the new iOS features without any restrictions? "

If MacBuildServer out of play, then the users will have to compile the application by using the "apple" of the program for the development of Xcode application. This is a more complex process that still requires that the user account has been Developer account, in order to get the application installed on the device is unbroken.
