this app does not work with tvos17

[TresPorCiento]

I installed Sonoma 14 with Xcode 15 and tvos17. I used this app to sideload my app to tvOS 16.4 without problems but I cannot side load to tvOS 17. No way. I have the source code for this one and I could compile and install on tvOS 17. But for the others that I do not have the source code no way I have to side load and install the ipa file. So seems the issue is the iOS signer app.

Same here. Did you find a workaround?

this is a problem strictly of Xcode 15, uploading with Xcode 14 works fine

Will give a try. Thanks.

The solution
A workaround for installing .ipa files on iOS devices is:
Changing the ".ipa" file extension to ".zip" Open/unzip Install the .app file located in resulting "Payload" folder instead
Then go to xCode an install the app.

another workaround is to use Apple Configurator to upload ipa

This solution is not working for me; however, this one worked great:

1. Connect the iPad to the Mac using a cable.
2. Click on the iPad icon in the Finder.
3. Drag the IPA file onto the iPad icon (pane). Dragging it into the window did not work for me.
