khcrysalis/Feather
SwiftFeather is a free on-device iOS application manager/installer, using certificates part of the Apple Developer Program.
Feather
Feather allows you to use an Apple Developer Account to sign and install applications on device without needing a computer on stock iOS versions, while allowing easy management with its applications.
Due to limitations, it's hard to tell if the application is actually installed, so you will need to keep track of whats on your device. This is an entirely stock application and uses built-in features to be able to do this!
Features
- Altstore repo support.
- Import your own
.ipa's. - Inject tweaks when signing apps.
- Install applications straight to your device seamlessly over the air.
- Allows multiple certificate imports for easy switching.
- Configurable signing options.
- Meant to be used with Apple Accounts that are apart of
ADP(Apple Developer Program). - No tracking, analytics, or any of the sort.

Building
Minimum requirements
- Xcode 15
- Swift 5.9
- iOS 15
Feather is not exactly as light as a feather as it needs to include an entire server framework so it can host it's server locally, totaling around 40mb~ when successfully compiled. While this is annoying to me, it doesn't really matter at the end as it does it's job.
Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/khcrysalis/FeatherCompile
cd Feather gmake package SCHEME="'feather (Release)'" # Build, Use `SCHEME="'feather (Debug)'"` for debug buildUpdating
git pull
Using the makefile will automatically create an unsigned ipa inside the packages directory, using this to debug or report issues is not recommend. When making a pull request or reporting issues, it's generally advised you've used Xcode to debug your changes properly.
