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'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.
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.
What I Did:
I have made an app for iphone using phonegap and signed it with distribution certificate and ad-hoc provisional profile.
Problem Statement:
In iTunes when i click on install and sync, it shows installing. But even after half an hour it will not install.
UDID of my device is present in provisional profile. What am i missing?
Thanks in advance
I do not know the answer to your question directly... I don't use itunes to load the app to a phone.
I think you should be using xcode to test the app on the phone...
Alternatively... you would use with phonegap build https://build.phonegap.com/ - just upload the certificate and a zip of your files... scan the qr code on your device and it will load!
I am already testing my iOS app on my iPhone and it works great. My client wants to test my app on his own device but the problem is that he is a resident of different country. Can I send him something like we have "apk" in Android?
Yes, this is possible using the "Ad-hoc".Steps:
Add Your partner's device to the iOS provisioning portal at developer.apple.com
Generate a provisioning profile that includes it for your app.
Build the app using this profile.
Generate an .IPA file using Product->Archive
Send it to your partner that .IPA file.
Many more details available in Apple's guides under "Ad-Hoc" testing.
This is also a good option. testflightapp.com
Yes, you can send him IPA file.
See here:creating ipa for distribution to client
OR
you can refer to this link: How to make .ipa file in Xcode 4.5?
I'd look into services such as TestFlight to make the process of publishing and installing the app on your client's machine. Get your ad hoc provisional profile and archive your build. TestFlight will upload it to their servers and email your client that the build is ready. From there the installation is a snap.
Just send an .IPA File to him he cant see the code using that
I have made an app for iPad and I would like to send this for testing to a friend. If I send the .ipa by email can he install this .ipa on his iPad? If he can't, what's the better way to install my .ipa on his iPad?
you need the UDID of this iPad.
add it to the test devices of your ios developer account.
add the device to a adhoc distribution provisioning profile
and build your app with it.
then you send the ipa to him
he can install the app into itunes and sync his ipad with itunes
alternatively install it with iphone configuration utility (windows or mac)
or in Xcode using Windows > Devices > Select your device > Installed Apps
You could use TestFlight.
You need to know UDID of the iPad. TestFlight requires you to compile the app with the UDID added to the provisioning profile.
If you don't know the UDID you might use some services like www.aironapp.com which gets the UDID of the device automatically and resigns the application with the new UDID.
