iOS develops the most basic package ad hoc applications

First, what is ad Hoc?

The simple definition of ad hoc is: After the iOS project is packaged into an IPA package, the behavior of distributing tests is done through the signature of the Ad hoc certificate.

Ad hoc certificates can be divided into two categories:

1, 99 dollars of developer account generated.

2, 299 dollars of developer account generated.

Since I do not have a developer account for $299, this article is only for the $99 developer account.

I mention two points:

First: To export the IPA package, is to click the Export button in the Red box,

Second: This step may need to wait a long time (mainly compile bitecode slower, I tried 10 minutes), please be patient.
