Recently, an app was released 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?
UPDATE
I found this link 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.

You can also tether your iPhone via Bluetooth or USB for a more personal network, though those methods will be a bit slower. To connect over Bluetooth, you'll need to pair your iPhone with the other device and then connect to the Bluetooth PAN network.
Tethering is a super-useful feature of the iPhone. Tethering lets you use your iPhone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to provide internet access to a laptop or other Wi-Fi-enabled devices like an iPad or iPod touch. Tethering isn't iPhone-only; it's available on many smartphones.
Use Wi-Fi to connect from a PC: In the Wi-Fi settings on your PC, choose your iPhone, then enter the password shown in Settings > Personal Hotspot on your iPhone. Use USB: Connect iPhone and your computer with a cable. If you receive an alert that says Trust this Computer?, tap Trust.
looks like there's some open source code already posted - https://github.com/tcurdt/iProxy/wiki
