With Perfecto, you can instrument and re-sign iOS applications even if you are subjected to network and security restrictions that do not allow you to connect through the internet to Perfecto servers. Any of the following reasons may prevent you from leveraging Perfecto's online instrumentation service:
-
Your build environment is not connected to the internet
-
Your organization's security team does not permit online app transfer
-
Performance considerations prevent you from connecting to the online instrumentation service
-
You cannot install the app using Perfecto's regular app installation process
-
You have to sign your app with your organization's certificate and this prevents you from performing instrumentation during Perfecto's online app installation process
If any of these restrictions apply to you, contact Perfecto Support about Perfecto's offline instrumentation option for iOS applications, a Python-based CLI instrumentation tool.
