How to test iphone app on remote location

Question

I have created an iPhone application. I don't have the iPhone and I want to test the application on the iPhone of my friend who is far from me. How can I test it on his iPhone?

When I searched on google, it told me that you need to have the device with you. Is it possible to send the wrap and send the application to a remote location and get tested from there? I also have the Apple ID and license.

Answer 1

Yes with a tool like TestFlight you will be able to check wether or not your will work on a device. Thus is good for acceptance testing but never for technical working of an app.

But when it comes to really testing a device is needed, there is not way around it. You should do performance testing on a device. Also there is no way to use the debugger unless it is connected to your development machine.

If you are developing for iOS get an iOS device.

Answer 2

It's possible, check Test Flight:
