How to generate an iPA file using only development certificate in iPhone?

I dont have a paid account at apple site. Therefore my client sent me development certificate after creating provisioning profile there. Now he asked me to load this certificate in xcode and generate an executable or ipa file to test the application in iPhone device.

Can anybody tell me the way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

5) After completing it click on distribute and then select the option for save as enterprise or adhoc application and click on next button.

6) It will take a minute as per your app file size.

I do that following these steps:

  1. Build the source code
  2. Go to Organizer > Projects and select your project, then open the derived data folder by clicking on the arrow.
  3. Locate the .app file (usually Build > Products > Debug-iphoneos) and drop it to iTunes
  4. Pick the app from iTunes and drop it to the desktop for example. iTunes will convert that to ipa.
