 The New Apple Developer Certificate P12 Install Option - iOSGods App

Rook · November 28, 2025

When the iOSGods App first launched, we added a method that allowed users with an Apple Developer Program enrolled account to sign apps using their own personal certificates. This avoided the usual revoke issues since everything was tied to each user’s private account.

It worked well for a while, but it had some drawbacks. You had to enter your Apple ID email and app-specific password, and the whole process was pretty fragile. Any small change on Apple’s side meant things would break and we’d have to fix it again.

Now we’ve revamped the feature with a new version, rebuilt from the ground up. It’s much simpler, more stable, and avoids the problems the original method had.

📦 What You Need

To use this signing method, you’ll need:

A .p12 file
A .mobileprovision file

These can be generated from your Apple Developer Program account, or from any third party service or app store that provides valid signing files. Enterprise certificates also work, if you happen to find one! If you do find a working one, please share with us so we can get the Enterprise version of the iOSGods App signed.

~~This feature is currently available to ViP members. We’d like to make it available for everyone, but this would be too taxing on our servers at this time.~~ Now available for everyone!

📑 Tutorial for Generating Required Files

A couple of guides you can follow:

⚙️ Available Features & Options

After uploading your files, you can choose from a few options before signing:

New Bundle ID
- Changes the application's bundle identifier and allows for installing multiple/duplicates of the same app. While this does sound cool, changing this on some apps can have some unwanted side effects. See the tutorial on best practices when duplicating your app.
New App Display Name
- Changes the application display name on your home screen to whatever you like. Now supports emojis!
Change App Icon
- Allows you to set a custom app icon which will appear after app is installed. This new app icon will appear on your Home Screen next to other apps.
New App Version
- Changes the minimum iOS version requirement for the app. If you're on iOS 16 for example, and the app requires iOS 18+, then you can use this feature to make it installable for your iOS version.
Enable File Sharing
- Enables the iTunes File Sharing option so you can browse the app's Documents directory on your iOS Files App or PC/Mac.
Remove PlugIns
- A useful option to remove app PlugIns which often times cause issues when trying to sign & sideload.
Add/Inject iGameGod
- Enables iGameGod, which offers a Cheat Engine, Speed Manager & Auto Touch Recorder, App Reset & Spoof, Live Offset Patcher & more for your Non-Jailbroken device.
Tweak Injection
- Allows you to inject .deb, .framework, .dylib, and .bundle files into your selected app.

Once everything is set, scroll down and hit the “Let’s Go” button. The app will sign and then prompt you if you'd like to install the app, or download the signed version of it.

📝 Final Notes

If the Apple Developer route isn’t for you, the iOSGods App+ option is cheaper and offers its own benefits.

We may bring back Apple ID login + app-specific passwords if enough users want it again. For now, this new method is much more reliable and isn’t affected by small changes on Apple’s side.

You can also use Sideloadly if you prefer:
