Question

I have built my binary using a valid provisioning profile on my development machine. Can I then send the .app file to someone who’s phone is registered in provisioning profile even if they do not have the development certificates on their machine? Can they just load it through iTunes?

Thanks.

In order to do this you need to build an ad-hoc distribution.

this is a good link on how to do that.

you can also distribute the ad hoc build over the internet like so.
