Install app on iOS device (iPhone / iPad) or create .ipa from Xcode without code signing and developer account -


i new ios development , self learning. have created couple of apps , tested in ios simulator. these apps runs fine without issues , warnings pre or post build.

i wanted run apps on iphone realtime testing. cannot extract .ipa package xcode did not subscribe developer's account yet (will later). tried few tweaks , followed below steps :-

  1. updated sdksettings.plist , set code_signing_required, entitlements_required value no.(read @ tech blog)
  2. created archive , export method : "save ad hoc deployment"
  3. further steps asked developers account again. tried fetch .app /.ipa xcarchive in 2 ways :

    a). run command line:
    xcodebuild -exportarchive -exportformat ipa -archivepath /users/../library/developer/xcode/archives/..\app.xcarchive/ -exportpath /users/../desktop/app.ipa

    b). copied .app file underneath above xcarchive package. dargged , dropped itunes "myapps"

  4. within itunes, noticed app size grew 2.2 mb 8.4 mb.

  5. connected iphone using usb , performed install clicked sync/apply. app gets installed on device itunes shows "installing"

  6. disconnected usb, installed app has no icon image. when touched open app, starts installing , never opens up.

please suggest pointers can test app without developer's account.

please try download beta version of xcode 7, can in "official" way. or can wait until xcode 7 released public.

when starting @ development , didnt have apple developer membership used jailcoder. tool can fake sign apps , install device wothout membership, , important, debug apps. you need jailbroken device
