I have developed an iPhone App and I want to test this final distribution build before submitting it to the App Store for review. Is there any safe way to make this app to run on a device?
On the Releases page, select the app you want to distribute from the drop-down menu. Drag your app's IPA file to the console to upload it. When the upload completes, specify the tester groups and individual testers you want to receive the build. Then, add release notes for the build.
On average, 90% of submissions are reviewed in less than 24 hours. You'll be notified by email of status changes. You can also check the review status of your submission in the My Apps section of App Store Connect or on the App Store Connect app for iPhone and iPad.
Click the plus icon, select the most recent build (the highest build number), then add it. Click save at the top right. Make sure all other items are filled out for your app, including pricing, screenshots, etc. Once you have filled out everything, you will be able to click "Submit for review" at the top right.

Craig gives a method of testing where the only difference between what you test and what you submit is the signing identity.
No, you can't. This makes me a little nuts, too. If you set up an ad-hoc distribution profile, that is as close as you can get. On the "positive" side, you're guaranteed to have your app rejected if it can't be installed properly...
