Could you build this?
No Wirelessly re-signing iOS applications requires deep, specialized knowledge of Apple's private mobiledevice protocol, provisioning profile management, and interacting with Apple Developer APIs or AltStore-style local pairing Daemons.
What it would actually take: A functioning tool requires an implementation of Apple's lockdown/usbmuxd protocol over Wi-Fi (like libimobiledevice in Rust or Go) and anisette data generation to simulate Apple authentication. It must manage developer certificates, inject entitlements into IPA binaries, handle code-signing via ldid, and install them over network-based AFC/installation proxies without breaking iOS security boundaries.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
