iOS's ipa distribution for testing

Question

I have made an app for iPad and I would like to send this for testing to a friend. If I send the .ipa by email can he install this .ipa on his iPad? If he can't, what's the better way to install my .ipa on his iPad?

Answer 1

1. you need the UDID of this iPad.
2. add it to the test devices of your ios developer account.
3. add the device to a adhoc distribution provisioning profile
4. and build your app with it.
5. then you send the ipa to him
6. he can install the app into itunes and sync his ipad with itunes
   • alternatively install it with iphone configuration utility (windows or mac)
   • or in Xcode using Windows > Devices > Select your device > Installed Apps
