"the same" what?

sending binaries you have to sign yourself.. I doubt that somewhat, they'll be signed by Apple.

For FOSS they use: http://www.opensource.apple.com

Well, they would sign the binaries themselves if that worked... but you need to sign it yourself to get an iOS device to let you install it.
