I have finished developing an iPhone app and my client wants to test it before publishing.
Is it possible to upload the app to the appstore but keep it private? I mean accessable through the app store but only with the developer id?
The client isn’t a developer so I can’t just send him the code, he won’t understand that.
Any ideas or suggestions?
You could set a release date far in the future so that the app won’t be visible in the store and send the client a promo code. That will allow the client to download and use the app from the store without the app actually being visible in the store.
However as ceejayoz mentions, the best way to go about this would be ad-hoc distribution either by sending the client an ipa that they can sync to their phone through iTunes, or through TestFlight which is a fantastic service.
