title: Developing a private iPhone tethering app
body: <p>Recently, an app was <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/handy-light-for-iphones-dirty-little-secret-tethering-video/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">released</a> on the AppStore that secretly allowed wifi-tethering from your iPhone. It quickly got pulled by Apple. Out of curiosity, are there any libraries for the iPhone SDK that helps developers write an application that does the same thing? I'm assuming you can deploy the app to your iPhone for testing purposes without publishing to the AppStore is that correct?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>I found this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/246422/how-can-i-deploy-an-iphone-application-from-xcode-to-real-iphone-device/866570#866570">link</a> as I was writing the question, so it looks like deploying the app to your own iPhone is not a problem as long as you have a developer certificate. So my only question then is regarding any libraries or code examples that can help with this tethering/proxy solution.</p>
