Install iPhone application in my device

Question

I was recently developing an iPhone application using Xcode. Now I want to install this app on my iPhone in order to test it.How can I do this? could you tell me please a step by step answer because I am new to this.

I have already created an account on the iPhone Dev Center now what is the next step?

As per Apple guidelines:

To test your app on a variety of devices and iOS versions, create a special distribution provisioning profile, called an ad hoc provisioning profile, and send it, along with the app, to testers. An ad hoc provisioning profile doesn’t require that testers be enrolled in an Apple Developer Program, be added to your team, create signing certificates, or use Xcode to run your app. Instead, app testers simply install the app and the ad hoc provisioning profile on their device to launch the app. You can then collect and analyse crash reports or logs from these testers to resolve problems before you ship your app.

Can I do what is mentioned here? and if yes how ?

Answer 1

With the free account you can not test/run apps on a device.

Answer 2

go to keychain access and create a .csr file and save it, it'll required for creating certificates

1. create a certificate from certificate tab
2. create App Ids from identifier tab
3. Register your device UDID from Devices tab
4. Create distribution profile from Provisioning Profile tab and download & save it.
5. Install the Provisioning profile to your device and build your project using that profile.

Archive your project and create .ipa file

Final step: Install that .ipa file to your device.
