You can use AppBox, A mac application that uses your Dropbox account to distribute you ad-hoc and enterprise apps, if you want to install form any other browser.

  1. Link your Dropbox account with AppBox.
  2. Select and upload the iOS application "OR" select project/workspace to archive and upload the iOS application.
  3. Send the link to your testers, clients, friends or even use it yourself.
  4. Open the link in the browser on the device and click on install.

2. Feature

A new website BetaFamily has launched that allows you to generate installer link like diawi. You can also invite users and they will receive the installer link directly in their inbox. Below is the website link:

Yes, safari will detect the *.ipa and will try to install it, but the ipa needs to be correctly sign and only allowed devices would be able to install it.

http://www.diawi.com is a service that will help you with this process.

All of this is for Ad-hoc distribution and not for production apps.

It is pretty straight forward to publish ad hoc builds on your own website. I used this tutorial to get started. http://jeffreysambells.com/posts/2010/06/22/ios-wireless-app-distribution/

https://testflightapp.com/ is a good way to do this. It has its quirks, but overall I find it very useful.
