Run release build of iOS app on development device


When I build my iPad app for running on my development iPad, it only builds the debug version. I need to see how fast the real release version is; how do I do this? I'm used to Visual Studio's Debug/Release builds, so this Run/Test/Profile/Analyze/Archive stuff isa bit confusing. I see Schemes are related to this but isn't there a simple switch "I want to test Debug/Release version of my app on my device"?


Solution

  • You want to do a release build using an ad-hoc provisioning profile, which will allow you to install it on your device and any others you have specified.

    Test flight app is free and can help with this process as well.
