Here is the best way to test the assembly without deploying to the repository:
- Set the assembly diagram to "iOS device"
- Create an archive
- Select your archive and click "Distribute"
- Select "Save for Enterprise or Ad-Hoc Deployment"
- Choose a certificate to sign the code
- After saving the ipa file, use the Apple iPhone Configuration Utility (*) to install it on your device.
You should always perform two tests:
- installation on a blank device after uninstalling the application * and any profiles in the settings β General β Profiles
- installing the top of the previous version of your application to make sure that any files / preferences / etc are correctly converted to the new format.
(*) The iPhone configuration utility is mainly used to deploy enterprise applications, but it is also useful for developers and is available as a free download for mac and windows at support.apple.com. You can use iTunes instead, but it's confusing.
How does your application crash? I donβt know ... it could be anything. Standard debugging advice applies.
