How do you beta test an iphone app?
In Android you can export your app and get the .apk file that can be installed on any phone for testing. Is this possible with Xcode and iOS? I mean, I got assigned a job and I want to send my first demo.
My questions are the following:
1) What should I send? is there something similar with .apk file?
2) I know the procedure of publishing an app. If i just want to send it fro testing do I have to create a distribution profile and all that staff? The thing is the final app will not be published from my developer account but from the employee’s. Is that a problem?
3) Does the person that I will send my file needs Xcode to run the app or something? I do not want to send him my code before he pays me.
You can send demo files of your apps by building them as “ADHOC” versions, but to do this you’ll need the device identifiers (UUID’s) of all the devices that you want to run your demo app on (in other words, this is the “distribution profile” you’re asking about; you need to create a provisioning profile that gets included in the distributable app package). Here’s some instructions that can help you get started.
The person can install your ADHOC app either through iTunes (syncing) or directly downloading & installing the “.ipa” file via their device’s Safari browser. They don’t need to use Xcode.
