Looking for a volunteer to build Firefox for iOS with the new free and personal dev accounts

The subject says it all ... with Xcode 7, Apple also introduced the concept
of free personal developer accounts.

Basically, if you have an Apple ID you can login to developer.apple.com to
grab Xcode 7 (beta) on either 10.10 or 10.11 and without paying the usual
$99 you can develop and run apps on your personal iOS devices. This is
fantastic news for contributors not currently part of a iOS developer team.

I have just updated the Firefox for iOS documentation for this:


https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ios/blob/master/BUILDING.md#run-on-a-device-with-xcode-7-and-a-free-developer-account

I'm looking for a volunteer to give this a try and let us know if this is
properly written, if any steps are missing, etc.

Ideally someone with no prior access to the paid developer accounts.
