Pre-Xcode 9 answer:

Over Wi-Fi installing and debugging of applications is not possible in iOS.

But there are some websites where you can upload your builds and then download on device and test it.

(Before you read make sure your running IOS 11 and Xcode 9!) Connect your device (Via USB), once you do go on 'Add Additional Simulators' (See image 2 at the bottom), and tick 'connect via network' (See Image One). Once XCode proccesses this, disconnect the device (via USB) and it should now appear with a globe next to it (See image 2)! Also make sure the device and computer are on the same network!

Using Xcode 9 you can debug over wifi(same network).

Upto Xcode 8 & iOS 10 : Through wifi its not possible.

You just upload your ".ipa" file to this website http://diawi.com & get sort link for that. After that install build by requesting that link in iphone browser.
