Testing an iPhone application without XCode
I asked my friend to beta test an iPhone app I had made. The problem was that he didn’t have XCode nor he wanted to install it.
Here is the solution:
Prerequisite an iPhone dev account + iPhone developer membership.
- Go to Apple Developer Connection - iPhone Developer Program here
- Add you App ID if you haven’t done so.
- Add you provisioning profile. Don’t forget to add the device you need to test your app on.
- Download and install your certificates and the provisioning file. More details here.
- Build your signed app.
- Send or copy both .app and .mobileprovision files to the computer where the device is connected.
- Use iTunes to copy the two files to your device.
