Compile and install Kodi on iPad without jailbreak

With iOS 9 and Xcode 7 it's finally possible to compile and deploy apps on your iPhone/iPad with a free Apple developer account (no paid membership required).

I compiled XBMC/Kodi many times on my mac but had never signed an app with Xcode before and it took me some time to get it right. So here are my notes:

First thanks to memphiz for the iOS9 support!

I compiled from his ios9_workaround branch, but it has been merged to master since:

$ git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git Kodi
$ cd Kodi
$ git remote add memphiz https://github.com/Memphiz/xbmc.git
$ git fetch memphiz
$ git checkout -b ios9_workaround memphiz/ios9_workaround

Follow the instructions from the README.ios file:

$ git submodule update --init addons/skin.re-touched
$ cd tools/depends
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --host=arm-apple-darwin
$ make -j4
$ make -j4 -C target/binary-addons
$ cd ../..
$ make -j4 -C tools/depends/target/xbmc
$ make clean
$ make -j4 xcode_depends

Start Xcode and open the Kodi project. Open the Preferences, and add your Apple ID if not already done:

Select the Kodi-iOS target:

Change the bundle identifier to something unique and click on Fix Issue to create a provisioning profile.

Connect your device to your mac and select it:

Click on Run to compile and install Kodi on your device!
