This is now officially supported as a built-in feature in Xcode 9.
How do you perform wireless debugging in Xcode 9 with iOS 11, Apple TV 4K, etc?

It will be now possible with the latest update of Xcode 9.
Cut the Cord
Choose any of your iOS or tvOS devices on the local network to install, run, and debug your apps – without a USB cord plugged into your Mac. Simply click the ‘Connect via Network’ checkbox the first time you use a new iOS device, and that device will be available over the network from that point forward. Wireless development also works in other apps, including Instruments, Accessibility Inspector, Quicktime Player, and Console.
Check this for the latest updates.

Over wifi installing and debugging of applications is not possible in ios.
But there are some websites where you can upload your builds and then download on device and test it.
WiFi debugging has never been supported in any public releases of Xcode yet.
There are third party hacks that may or may not work: https://github.com/Shopify/superdb
There also reports that this works with some workarounds: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7857052/361247
But officially, this isn't supported.
