If you pay the $99 to be a member of the iOS Developer Program, you can build and install apps to your own device for testing purposes, but you can't distribute the built app except through the App Store. So he can't just make his custom build available if he is playing by Apple's rules.

Before putting too much time into that, you'd want to think hard about what you gain over the simpler strategy of using the cli version via a ssh console, which is also available once jailbroken.

Thanks for the clarification, David. I paid for Apple Care on my device when I purchased it at the end of last year. I think I'll not think about jail breaking it before then.

And just to make sure, "cli" means "not gui"?
