As the topic said. Is it possible to share an app that someone bought from iTunes?
 
As I understand it you can, but it's a real pain, especially when you add more users or updates as you (correct me if you know better than I do here) have to regenerate the certificate used to sign the app each and every time.

So doable...yes.
Practical...not by a long shot.
 
If you authorise the other PC with your account, they can download all the apps, or as me and my friend did, we copied the file, then authorized, but i assume downloading would work aswell.
 
I am kinda confuse. My cousin sent me the app file that he bought from iTunes and i tried putting it into my JB iPhone through SSH but it doesn't show up. Is there a tutorial?
 
If you all had the same iTunes account you could do it no problem.

My girlfriend and I use the same apps, as she does not have an iTunes account, whilst I do (and I paid for the phone). So my iTunes account is on both our phones and it works just fine.
