Distribute iPhone app for testers?

Question

I am working on my iphone application and now I want to send my application to my testers. But how do I send it? In addition, they do not have Xcode. It's necessary?

Answer 1

Take a look at the test flight. We are currently using it, and it offers many great tools and is very easy to set up.

testflightapp.com

It distributes its adhoc, and then you can click it directly on the testers and let you see the installation statuses. Time and other analytical tools.

To answer other questions. No Xcode required. They just need their UDID to register with your Apple account. They will be sent an email requesting to download the latest version. Then the application is installed on the air.

Answer 2

Since iOS 4.0, users were able to install Ad-Hoc apps on the air. Note that you need to get the UDIDs of the testers' devices and add them to the device list on developer.apple.com and in the profiling application.

You can host the IPA yourself, but I would recommend using TestFlightApp.com .

Macworld wrote a decent article about the essence of this, and TestFlight is pretty easy to use, especially since it allows you to send an email or a link to your testers and collect the necessary UDID from them.

Try diawi . I find it very simple and very convenient to use. There is also no need to wait in the queue type entry. When you open it, just drag and drop the .ipa file and preparation profile. To check if your application is installed, simply add your email identifier in the specified area and you will receive a confirmation letter about the installation of your application. To install at the end of the tester, they just need Safari to install the application and profile.

Below are the steps to create the .ipa file (xcode 4.2)

Select your iOS device> Go to Product> Archive> Share> Select iOS Application Storage Package (.ipa)> Specify a path to save.

Easy done !!!

Answer 4

On February 26, Testflight closed its service ...

I used the new link to create a link to install ipa and will distribute the link to your client, tester, etc.

• Open link

  http://www.diawi.com/index.php

• upload the preparation profile (drag and drop) to your dashboard.

• upload ipa (drag and drop) to your dashboard.
• click submit button. after that, copy the generated link and share it with your client and tester.

Answer 5

With iOS 8, Xcode 6, iTunes Connect, and TestFlight, you no longer need UDIDs and Ad Hocs. You just need the Apple ID from your beta tester. Now you can only beta test your application with 25 internal testers, but 1000 external testers will be available soon. This blog post shows you how to set up a beta test with internal testers,
