Generally, those that go down this path use a much more streamlined solution like downloading an IPA file and using something like Cydia Impactor (http://www.cydiaimpactor.com) to sign and install the app. It least, I think that that's easier than finding a kernel bug in iOS…

Do you need to pay Apple for a Developer ID in order to be able to do this?

[Operyl]

Nope! You don't even need to be on OS X. You just get limited by the 7 day signing period if you don't pay.

Nice :) Does it work with Linux or is “not OS X” only Windows?

[Operyl]

Works with Linux. Binaries at http://www.cydiaimpactor.com

Does a developer license get you more than 7 days?

[Operyl]

Yes.

[saagarjha]

No, you can do this with a free license as well. Impactor basically automates the tasks that Xcode's doing when it installs apps.
