Yes, as mentioned you will need to have paid the $99 developer fee. Once you do that you can deploy through XCode directly to a device you have setup with a provisioning profile. You can also deploy through iTunes (AdHoc Distribution).

Based on your responses to some of the other answers, perhaps this is the information you are looking for (Assuming you have or will have the developer account):

• Add a 512x512 png image of your Icon to your project and name it iTunesArtwork (no extension)
• Build your application with an Ad Hoc distribution provisioning profile being sure to include the UDIDs of ALL target devices (Instructions for this can be found within the iOS Provisioning Portal here: https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/distribution/distribution.action and https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/distribution/index.action)
• Right-Click on your target in XCode and choose to View in Finder
• Create a new folder called Payload
• Copy your app into the Payload folder
• Right-Click on the Payload folder and choose Compress
• Rename the new zip file to YourApp.ipa (the ipa extension allows it to be picked up by iTunes directly.
• To distribute send both the .mobileprovision file (the Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile) and the .ipa file to your users
• Have them drag both files into iTunes to install them into their app library. Then they can sync their devices as expected and now they have the app on an actual device.
