How to maintain 2 different versions of an app on the iphone

Is there any way to maintain 2 different versions of the same app on the iPhone? One version is the actual production build and another version is the development build which I can use for experiments i.e. UI changes

You can change the Bundle ID of the development version. You can install different versions of the same app if the bundle IDs are different.

Xcode 4 allows you to create targets for your applications. You might find those useful. I use them to maintain a free version and a paid version of my apps.

Each target should then have a different bundle ID as this is what the phone uses to distinguish different apps. If you need a specific ID, (i.e for push notifications, game center or iads), I'm not sure on a solution sorry
