How to test app on device by installing .app (binary) file? (without using Xcode for testing)


I have created an app and I want to send that to another person for testing it. )

He got an iPhone and a mac, but doesn't have xcode on his mac. (he is not an iphone programmer) So,

If I send the .app file, can he test that on his iPhone? If not, how else I can do this?

This is my first app :) and I have no idea about testing on real devices. So please help me.

Thanks in advance. :)


Solution

  • You need to do what's called "ad-hoc distribution", which requires creating a special ad-hoc provisioning profile that includes your tester's device UDID.

    I highly recommend https://testflight.apple.com/ as it greatly simplifies distributing your ad-hoc builds.
