Getting Started with IOS: User testing with AD Hoc

Before completing the iOS development and preparing for the release, we wanted the app to test, comment, modify, and then post to the app store around friends. With this in mind, Apple uses ad hoc to implement pre-release user testing. From another point of view, the unpublished app is used by ad Hoc for free in advance for other people.

The use of ad hoc is actually very simple, and is also described in detail on the Apple Developer website page. The first thing to note is that our app can only be shared with ad hoc on the device that binds to our account, so it's 100 units. Then take a look at the official instructions steps.

Step 1: Create and download an iOS publishing certificate. This is generally the way we create an iOS development certificate.

Step 2: Create and download an ad hoc distribution Provisioning profile, which is the ad hoc publishing configuration file. This is good to do, click on the provisioning option on the site, click New profile created, to fill in the following information:

Distribution method: Ad Hoc

Profile Name:<App_Name> User Testing profile

App ID: Appropriate app ID for the app being tested

Devices: Tester ' s device identifier

This information must be filled in, which is the device to be shared in the devices. Download When you are finished creating it.

Step 3: This step is actually the app file that created our software in Xcode. Three steps are counted:

(1) Open Xcode;

(2) Click on the product->archive on the toolbar to package the app;

(3) In organizer archives There is your packaged app, click Distribute, select Ad Hoc, such as

After saving, you get the. ipa file.

Step 4: This step is to send the IPA file and configuration file to the friend's computer in various ways, open itunes, pull the configuration file into itunes first, and then pull the IPA file in, synchronization is OK.
