The app is signed, but only for the UDID of the iPads of my beta testers. It just happens that jailbreaking disables the signature check.

If you want to sign the app yourself you need to buy a developer license, which is $99/year. The signature is valid for one year and you can sign for up to 100 machines. As I wrote previously, this is the very best option for you.

Anyhow, Etoys on the iPad is not ready for users anyway, as you certainly noticed. So I'm not worried about distribution yet.

Yes. It's John's 5.x iSqueak VM (svn rev 196 from May 2010), with a few patches.

Are you coming to Camp Smalltalk before ESUG by chance?
