iOS installing apps without app store
I have built an iOS app for a friend of mine who lives in a different city. I have a standard $99/year developer account that I used to build it. Is it possible to get it to his device over the air?
Thanks
Yes, it should be possible with TestFlight:

Haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks promising.
Yes, there are a number of ways you can do it. You have to provision his device to test it, and then you can send him the IPA file(Created by using Archive in XCode), and have him install it through iTunes. Alternatively, you can sign up at TestFlight(http://www.testflightapp.com) and do the same thing with TestFlight. We use TestFlight because we have multiple beta testers, and it's a very useful service.

I would like to develop an app just for my own iPhone and download the app on it, but I don't have the apple developer account. I found out that (if I'm not wrong) for an app made with Flutter it is not possible, unless I do every week some procedure. Is there some other tool like I don't know React Native or something else with which there is a way to do it? And if there is, what is that way?
You can build a native iOS app on physical iPhone device without having a paid developer account. In the past it was not possible but Apple changed that few years ago. Currently it is enough to have a free Apple ID account to build an app from Xcode to your physical iPhone device. Note that you still need to have a Mac to create native apps. Check this:

I am building an app using phonegap. Since im on ubuntu i have to build my app each time using build.phonegap.com.
Now i want to test my application on my Iphone. And here comes the problem.
I need a certificate for it to build on IOS. So i went and created an account but quickly found out that i have to pay 99$ for the certificate.
Im not a professional app builder (yet) and all i want to do is to test my very unfinshed app.
Looking around the internet i found that i am able to get a certificate if i use xCode. However since i am on an ubuntu machine i am unable to download the program.
So my question is: is there another way around?
Unfortunately no. You NEED Xcode to build your app. Xcode now gives you one free certificate which you can use, but to distribute an app on the App Store you will need to pay the $99 (outside of using PhoneGap Build).

I am building an iOS app and it is still in early stage for testing. My QA actually lives in another state and I can't install my app to his iOS device with physically connected option.
Is there a way that I can send the iOS app package to my QA and he can install it somehow in his physical device? Also, this app is still in early testing phase so I don't think we are ready for app store approval.
Start by reading Beta Testing iOS Apps. What you're after is Ad Hoc Distribution, and there's been plenty written and asked about it. In addition to the tools that Apple provides, including TestFlight, you might also take a look at HockeyApp.

iOS In-House App Distribution

I am developing a test suit for iOS devices (not a consumer product), The app should run on a selected set of devices that are used for testing.
The App incorporate code that will not go through AppStore verification, eg. It is sending system-wide Key-Stroke events.
Using a developer account an app can be installed on a selected set of devices used for testing.
The App should be part of a Turn-Key solution, and thus, cannot require a dev account, while still, should be installable on an iOS device.
Having the above use-case in mind, is there any way of installing an App on a non JailBroken device w/o having a developer account ? ( Same as w/ Android )
Any help will be appreciated.
No code ever goes through App Store verification. Apps get verified. Code does not. No one at Apple can see your code even if they wanted to.
You can use Apple's enterprise stuff to do this. You can either distribute through the App Store (to a specific set of devices) or host it yourself.
If you look at the Apple enterprise stuff you can find more details.

I have an app that I want to distribute to my friends - what do I use?
I have an 'Awesome new app' - And I want to distribute to a huge number of people - for testing purposes.
Yes, you need to learn to use TestFlight and invite your non-developer testers.
You can add UDID for the devices of your friends and then start testing by creating a profile and send ipa to them which can be installed using itunes.
