iphone privateapi - Does anybody know a way to add entitlement to iOS application for non jailbroken device?

Question

Some background

• iOS operation system has a "entitlement" notion . Generally speaking, it's a permission which is granted to an application. Other system services and apps can check for this permission to allow/deny execution of some functionality.

• These entitlements should be specified in a provisioning profile.

• System applications have a lot of different entitlements.

• User application are limited to just couple of entitlements (like access to iCloud or something like that which can be configured on developer portal).

The question is: Does anybody know a way to add entitlements to user application for NON jailbroken device?

The overall idea is to add entitlements to developed app to gain more permissions to use system services.

Notes & Disclaimers

• I know how to do this for jailbroken phone. However, it doesn't work on non jailbroken device.

• I am aware that Apple will reject it. It won't go to AppStore.

• The solution doesn't have to be a compile time solution (meaning, a way to modify a file). It could be a runtime solution - one application adding somehow entitlements to itself or to 3rd party app.

Answer 1

No. Entitlements are contained within the application’s code signature. Changing them will, of course, break the signature, and stock iOS devices will not run code with a broken code signature. What you ask is not possible.
