ad-hoc-distribution

Yesterday I saw a Website of a Company which has a test version of their iPhone App downloadable for everybody from their website. Since I am an Apple Developer, I know that you need the UDID of the target device to declare it as a test device, because you have to code sign it to the device. When I have downloaded the file, it was a normal App file from Xcode. I dragged it to iTunes and from there to my Device, and what do you suppose happened? Yes; it worked on my Device!! ;-) I have not jail-broken my device and the app Works on any device I have tried it on without add the devices to any

Having created my first iOS app as part of my MSc project I now need to send it (together with my report) to the examiners (basically upload it to the website of the University (via Moodle)). However, I cannot possibly know who the examiners will be and have any information about their iPhones So I cannot submit my app for Ad-Hoc distribution since I don't know what devices to include! Is there some other way around (other than locating the examiners and asking them for all the necessary details) ? Or do I basically have to demonstrate the app myself on my own device (where it is currently

What is the correct MIME type (IIS) for a .mobileprovision file type? Am I thinking of this the right way? If I have to connect everybody's device to the mac dev machine to install the .mobileprovision file, it kind of defeats the purpose of the wireless ad hoc distribution method. If there is no specific MIME-Type, you may simply use application/octet-stream it will work. Note anyway that the AdHoc distribution method (Over The Air distribution) does not need you to provide a .mobileprovision file. At least for my case, I already did multiple OTA distributions and never provided the users a

I've been under the impression for some time that for iOS, signing a build with a developer provisioning profile allows the app to run (and get debugged) on an authorized device (listed in the development provisioning profile) through an XCode build, whereas signing with a distribution profile allows the app to be run (but not debugged) on other iOS devices that have been specifically added to the distribution provisioning file for the purposes of QA/beta testing/etc (and installed via iTunes sync or OTA distribution), without the need for those QA/beta-testers to even know what an XCode is.

I'm developing an ios app (only for iphone) and trying to have other people test it. I have no problem installing the app on my own device through Ad hoc distribution. When I tried installing on another person's device, it always failed with the message "xxxxx could not be installed at this time". I'm using xcode 5. Here are the steps that I followed: Add the device's UDID to the existing Ad hoc provisioning profile in the developer portal Download that provisioning profile and drag that to the xcode organizer Under code signing->provisioning profile->release, choose the Ad hoc provisioning
