Answer 2

Go into www.developer.apple.com > Login > iOS dev centre > Provisioning portal

In Provision > Distribution generate a new profile using "ad hoc" distribution

Download the provisioning profile. Add it to iTunes using drag and drop or File > Add to Library

In Xcode create a new archive by right click on the project > Edit scheme > Archive > Ok

In the Xcode > Window > Organizer select the archive and click share

To use iTunes to sync the app select iOS App Store Package (.ipa)

Find the generated file in Finder and add to iTunes

Attach the device to iTunes and perform a sync to add the application
