You need to have an iPhone SDK on your machine. They will be located in Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs (assuming you installed Xcode to the default location).
You can download the SDKs from Apple for free.

I have a dev account with 99 open spots
Ok, I have a dev account with no one on it but me. I am willing to help you if you help me. I will add you to my dev account if you help me get my iPhone 4setup for this. I am currently on Windows not a Mac.

i do it only happens when i do this particular app, if i create a new project then it wont happen. i downloaded it from the site and opened it in xcode. also the error say there is no SDK with the name or path "iphoneos3.1". so im really mixed up hear i have no clue what to do.
I can help you out! Would love to register my iPhone 4 UDID. Let me know how you want to work it out!
If you have the iPhone SDKs installed on your machine, then do this:
- Open the iProxy Xcode project.
- Right click on iProxy in the Groups and Files panel on the left (the top most item) and select Get Info.
- Select All Configurations from the Configuration drop down.
- Select All Settings from the Show drop down.
- Under the Architectures heading, select iPhone Device 4.0 for the Base SDK setting.
- Do a Clean All.
- Compile and Run.
Also, there is an "iPhone OS Deployment Target" setting that should automatically change to "iPhone OS 4.0" when you set the Base SDK, but make sure that it actually got switched.
If you have any problems, let me know which step you're getting hung up on.
Okay, so I have had my udid added to a developer's account but I receive an expiration error regarding my certificate when trying to deploy to my iPhone 4. I have my XCODE setup so I can install dev apps to my other JB iPhones via XCODE. Can you provide some insight on any additional steps needed to deploy to my device? Will it work with a DEV added UDID?
Thanks!
So, there are two ways you can go about doing this:
- If you have access to the account, you can log in and follow the instructions to get a signing certificate for your computer. With that certificate, you can sign any app to run on your phone. However, the dev would have to give you access to his/her account.
- Follow the instructions here. The dev will have to do all of the work to generate a provisioning profile and compile an app for your device. More work for them, but they don't have to give you access to their account.
But what I need is wifi tethering..
I've built and used iProxy, and it's good for tethering my laptop.
But I want to tether my ipads, and my notebook through wifi.
So...anyone know of any open source Xcode projects for mywi-type apps? Something that'll turn my iPhone into a wifi hotspot? I don't want to jailbreak my phone, but I'd love this functionality, and as a developer, I'm happy to build and install it myself?
If there isn't one, anybody interested in collaborating? I don't have tons of spare time right now, but I can contribute....

I have a shiny nickel that bets a mywi type program could be written to use private Apis. My dev account is active and I'm going to start poking around them. I never even thought of writing an app that would never be allowed in the app store just for private use.
well I compiled with no errors eventually after sorting certificates and provision profile things I now get this from iTunes
To all the people asking devs to help them you:
The way apple has things setup would require us to give you our logins to our developer portal to allow you to compile code on your phone. Furthermore the compiles are only good for about 120 days.
It's much easier if you can find someone you know locally to help you out.

This is not useful for iPad users, because you can't create an adhoc network from iPad. I tried to get source code for creating an adhoc network, but no luck. Creating an adhoc is not a that easy.
Next i am going to try my luck with Bluetooth, since bluetooth does create a adhoc network, but i think apple's bluetooth implementation is not complete for iOS.
You should use Xcode to install the app on your phone. Make sure you update the plist file with an appropriate identifier.
just use iphone config utility and sign it your self. anyway does anyone have the tethering config file? ill just sign that install it and bam tethering
All the developer needs is your device ID. This is so they can generate a profile that has been signed by Apple with your device ID in it. Then, they send you a profile and an application file to install.
The 120 days is correct. A developer must regenerate a profile and send it to all devices on the account every 120 days or else the application will cease to function.

a friend of mine wants to use the app aswell how could I get it signed and send to him?
Why would you not just pay the money to tether the legit way if you're going to be paying money anyway....
