I’m still waiting for a way to run my own apps on my own devices that doesn’t require re-signing them every week.

Well there is _one_ way but you're probably not going to like it

My guess is their way is to buy a dev account, which allows you to install apps for up to 1 year.

Been there, done that, gave up because it’s not a justifiable expense for individual use. Wrote a couple of Android apps instead but can't really use them daily.

Presumably you work in tech.

Every employer I’ve ever had will reimburse my personal dev account fee as an educational expense. Have you tried asking?

Then you definitely get a free apple developer account.

No, because I am not in any pertinent product line. And I would never use corporate resources for personal use.
