I have an app which has scoring and other information stored in a database.
The database is in the Library/Caches directory.

Now, we are making changes so that the database will be in the Documents directory.

For new users, there is no issue, but for existing users, the existing database will be moved from Library/Caches to the Documents directory, if such DB exists.

I want to test this for existing users. I created a DB and inserted scores and other info. Without submitting the app to the App Store, how do I put updated code into the device so as to test the existing users scenario?

I am not allowed to install ad hoc if there is already an app on the device.

What should I do?

    Seems to be a duplicate of this question:

    iPhone App:Test the newer version of app first and after make it available for other users for download

    The short answer is, download the app from the app store, run it, and then install your new version over the top of it using Xcode. This will be the same as if a user upgraded.
