[iPhone app] How to publish an app for testing

Question

Hello !

I'm currently creating an iPhone app and we need some testing with about 20~30 users.

Actually we put the app on our iPhone by connecting the iPhone to the computer and debugging the app.

But now we need to have a more efficient way to install the app on iPhone but without submitting it to Apple Store and also without the need to connect the iPhone to the computer hosting Xcode.

Do you think there is a way to do that ?

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

Yeah there's a very slick way to do adhoc distribution under iOS 4 that's outlined here. This method involves absolutely zero usb cables and does not require a jailbroken device either. Perfectly legit and above board.

Answer 2

You need to use AdHoc installation. Please see this nice Apple document, it should cover every step necessary even with step-by-step instructions.
