When I build my iPad app for running on my development iPad, it only builds the debug version. I need to see how fast the real release version is; how do I do this? I'm used to Visual Studio's Debug/Release builds, so this Run/Test/Profile/Analyze/Archive stuff isa bit confusing. I see Schemes are related to this but isn't there a simple switch "I want to test Debug/Release version of my app on my device"?
To create a release build, you have to edit your current scheme (⌘<) and highlight "Run [name of application]. On the right, select "Build Configuration" and choose "Release". Build as usual.
Install the App on User Devices For macOS, double-click the file to install and run it. To install iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, or watchOS apps using Xcode: Attach the device to the computer, or attach the paired phone for a watchOS device. Select Window > Devices and Simulators, and then select the Devices tab.
You want to do a release build using an ad-hoc provisioning profile, which will allow you to install it on your device and any others you have specified.
Test flight app is free and can help with this process as well.
In your scheme settings, you can select to build for debug or release. Make sure you have set up code signing correctly. Xcode 5 can help with that.
