Welcome to the CrossCode wiki! Please note that CrossCode is in early development and may have many bugs.

Getting Started

Before you can start using CrossCode, you need to setup a few things. CrossCode will show you what needs to be done when you open the app.

After you have completed the initial setup, you can create a new project using a template.

Testing on iDevice

In order to test your app, you will need to connect your iPhone/iPad over USB.

Note: On Windows, you may need iTunes or apple devices installed. This has not been thoroughly tested.

  1. Plug your device into your computer via a cable.
  2. Trust your computer on your device (if prompted).
  3. Select the refresh button in the top right to scan for devices.
  4. Press Build & Install in the top right corner and wait.
  5. Log in with your Apple ID. This does not have to be the same Apple ID your device is registered with, and it is actually recommended to user a burner account. Note however that the burner account must be logged in on at least one device before it can be used for sideloading.
  6. Wait until the app is installed

First Time Instructions Only (Not necessary if you have sideloaded on this device before)

  1. Open Settings > General > VPN & Device Management on your device and approve of the Developer App linked to your Apple ID's email.
  2. If your device is running iOS/iPadOS 16 or higher, you must now enable Developer Mode. Open the Settings app, tap “Privacy & Security”, scroll to the bottom and toggle Developer Mode on.
