I have got an iOS app to be tested as a Beta user but it is placed at some location of Google drive. I don't have Macbook. How can that app be installed in an iOS device
At first, make sure your device's UDID is included in the provisioning profile which was used to build the ipa file. If it is, you can upload the ipa file to the third party services and get a download link:
1. https://www.diawi.com
2. https://hockeyapp.net

I'm working on a project with multiple teams located in different countries. So I want to send and ipa to another team, I'm very new working with xcode.
So I finally can generate ipa to devices that were added to diawi uses i am generating url of devices on developer account.
Now the ipa that i generate but its not installing that api to the devices.
Couple of things to check
1- What iOS version your app support and what is the device version.
2- If development profile is used, are those devices UDID is registered for that profile.
3- Try creating Distribution profile and share the ipa.
If not from above case, please share the log erros.
This is Minton. I've recently discovered a software known as "Adobe PhoneGap". It involves using HTML CSS and Javascript to write apps.
Everything is going fine, but when I want to put my alpha test onto my iphone for testing, it tells me that I need a valid signing certificate and provisioning profile to put apps onto my phone.
For iphone apps I have been using XCode and thus the profiles are linked to my apple ID (I'm using the free one just to put alpha tests onto my device), but how do I access my certificate files (if any) in PhoneGap?
Thanks in advance!
To run your mobile App on your iPhone you have two options :
Build the app directly to your phone via terminal command
cordova run ios --device
Add your UDID to your provisioning profile
you have to get your iPhone UDID which you can get it from you iTunes while connecting the iPhone to it
then add this unique number to Devices tab on your Apple developer account
and then add this device to your provisioning profile you are using with this APP
After finish all development on the app you can upload it via application loader which come with XCode to the app store where you can install it to any iPhone compatible with your supported version of iOS
I have an IPA file generated with XCode with 3 devices embedded in his mobile provision file. I've added 2 additional devices on the mobile provision on apple developer web. Is there any way to install the IPA file on these new devices without regenerating the IPA file on XCode?(or at least, without using a Mac).
The devices has iOS 9.2. It seems with iOS 7 the mobile provision file installs easily, but with 9.2 devices it can't be possible to install the mobile provision file, even with diawi service.
I'm using Standard program Ad-hoc distribution. With this program i can distribute until 100 devices.
There is no possibility to run the app without add the devices to your developer account. You need to add first and then generate another IPA . This is the possibility by my experience. Thanks!
One standard way could be you can upload your IPA file to iTunes connect and Test it using Test flight app (Create internal user for that) the will receive email through which the can install IPA and you will not required to add new device id's hope this will help.
actually I am working on my first app. I use my ipad and my iphone as test devices but I would like to give my apps to my friends so they can test them. When I register their devices is there a way they can download the beta versions of the apps? Or can I only install the app using Xcode with a device directly connected to the mac.
Thanks a lot!
Try testflight (available in itunes connect under pre-release of your application). Works on iOS8+ only.
You can upload your ipa file to http://diawi.com and after successful uploading you will get a link open the link in safari and you will be asked to install the app. Note that to install ipa through Diawi you must create ipa file with provisioning profile and that provisioning profile must contain your device UDID. Hope this helps. :)
I want to build a .ipa file from a .app file without a developer account, so that I can test my project on an iPhone or iPad.
This is what I've tried, but it has no result:
Copy the app to a folder.
Change the folder name payload.
Zip the folder.
Change .zip to .ipa.
I'm using Xcode 4.6.3 and iOS 6.1.3.
Apple uses code signing to guarantee that only authorised iOS device can run an application.
So in end effect you can only test application on devices which are associated with an iOS developer program and when you have a developer certificate also from the developer program.
Testing your iOS apps in the iOS simulator is however free.
