To run an .ipa on a real device you need to sign it with an Apple developer account, costs $99 a year.

I thought it has been free for your own device for years:

Ah! I did not know that, it's been so long since I've not had a developer account. But yes it seems you are right.

Do you still have to re-sign the .ipa every 7 days to have it run on the device?

You do unless you have a paid developer account.
