I am having issues with an app I am developing (NOTE: It is for research/learning purposes only so it does not need to be apple store approved). I need access to system files outside of the sandbox. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to install to the root /Applications/ folder to avoid being sandboxed. From reading other questions this seems to be impossible for Xcode, but is there a way to build non-sandboxed apps with other editors? If so, what are some?
It seems that you need root permissions first and then you use the SSH feature of a jailbroken device in order to install to the /applications folder. See here for more information that helps on this topic: Gaining root permissions on iOS for NSFileManager (Jailbreak)
