Installation Instructions

The recommended way of installing Dash is through the App Store.

Alternatively, you can use Xcode 8 to install Dash on your iOS device using just your Apple ID.

All you need to do is:

  1. Install Xcode 8
  2. Download the Dash for iOS Source Code
  3. Open "Dash iOS.xcworkspace" in Xcode
  4. Go to Xcode's Preferences > Accounts and add your Apple ID
  5. In Xcode's sidebar select "Dash iOS" and go to General > Identity. Append a word at the end of the Bundle Identifier e.g. com.kapeli.dash.ios.name so it's unique. Select your Apple ID in Signing > Team
  6. Connect your iPad or iPhone using USB and select it in Xcode's Product menu > Destination
  7. Press CMD+R or Product > Run to install Dash
  8. If you install using a free (non-developer) account, make sure to rebuild Dash every 7 days, otherwise it will quit at launch when your certificate expires
