why use a self signed certificate, why not create your own signer cert install that into IOS and then its no longer a "self signed" cert, but just a private cert org.

IOS does allow you to install private signer certs, right? (right?)

An employer installed one on my then-phone, so it should be within reach of the kind of tech who deals with self-signed certs.

The rest of the world considers it self signed A standalone CA is great for everyone that can get manually trust it.
