Sign my own IPA files on iPhone without a jailbreak?
You know Apk15 as a store to browse. Getapk15 gets you ESign, which signs the IPA you saved and installs it on the iPhone itself.
"If you manually install an app, you must also set up trust manually."

What holds you back
Where your IPA is
ESign signs each app with a certificate, the way every sideloaded app is signed, so iOS itself is never modified.
Your IPA goes into ESign's file manager, from Files or straight from a download, and waits there to be signed.
One IPA, from breakfast to bedtime

- On the wayOpen it in ESign and sign it, on the phone.
- EveningTrust the developer once in Settings, then open the app.
That trust step is Apple's own rule for any app you install by hand: Settings, General, VPN & Device Management, then the developer's name. After that, apps from the same developer open straight away.
What ESign puts on your iPhone
Signing, on the phone
The code signing step that usually needs a desktop runs inside ESign. Pick an IPA, sign it, install it, all without plugging the iPhone into anything.
A file manager for IPAs
Every file you add stays in one list, ready to sign again later.
Your apps, your choice
Not a store's catalogue: the IPA you bring is the one that is installed.
