Doesn't that require repeated resigning/reinstalling to keep the apps installed? I've heard some iOS users complain about the stupid workarounds they need to do to install apps from unofficial sources and I'm pretty sure there's more to it than just installing the app from your computer.
If you have a paid developer account you have to reinstall every year. If you’re using a free account I think you have to do it every week. Not great, but also not harder than connecting your phone and pressing the Run button in Xcode.
