How do you handle UUID signing? Do you tell me the UUID's I need to add? Just upload seems to not work with iOS apps, right?

You can sign ipa files with your developer (private) key. There's an app called InstaSign that I use for "testing" apps before purchasing them. You download a cracked version, sign it with your own key (so iPad thinks YOU have created this app, like when you do in Xcode) and see if it's worthwhile.

It's saved me a lot of money that otherwise would've wasted on scammy, buggy, "not-working-as-advertised" apps. If you're a developer (i.e., can sign apps and load them unto your device), give InstaSign a try.

They're probably using a similar method (as they seemingly test on iPad/iPhone, retina/non-retina, iOS5/6 devices and it might be a bit more work for you to add at least 6 new UDIDs).

I was wondering how you did that. How do we know you're not simply cracking these apps to resell? It sounds a bit fishy is all.
Just to be clear, I'm not with testelf!

Just wanted to point that out in case you get the wrong impression of them not replying to your (fair) accusation :)
