Is it possible to distribute an app via ad-hoc without first putting the device into development mode?
I have successfully managed to download and install my app from a simple web page with the ipa and a manifest file, and I would like to test this on a friends device who is located elsewhere in the country.
Would he have to set his device in development mode for this to work, and if in that case, is there any way to easily do that without having xcode installed on his mac?
Thanks in advance for your help!
TestFlight is your best friend for this. Export the ipa file and upload it to your account on TestFlightApp.com . Then all you need are your user’s UDID’s and they’ll be able to download your build directly from the testFlight app on their phone. No xcode or development mode required.
