IOS app packaged and distributed to remote phone test

When the app is packaged for a remote friend or customer test, but not an enterprise account, we can only configure the certificate according to the udid of the phone, and then package and distribute it to the UDID mobile phone for installation.

First, how to get udid?

Connect your phone to your Mac computer, open itunes,

, select Udid, right-click Copy to OK. This device is then added to the personal center on the Apple Developer's website. Save it for the next time you create a certificate.

Second, how to generate a description certificate?

Open the Apple Developer website, log in to your personal account, go to "Provisioning Profiles", select distribution, and add a new description certificate

, the next is too simple, I do not elaborate, do not understand the comments to find me. (This should be no one to comment on,?? ）。 The next step is to add the first new device number to this certificate. Then the description certificate is generated and the installation is downloaded.

Three, the description of the certificate is ready, the next is packaged.

It's easy to pack and pack with Xcode, but choose a certificate before you pack it (in fact, the same process you publish to the App Store). A place of attention I use a graph to say:

Next is waiting, waiting, and then waiting! Wait for the package to finish, and then put the packaged. IPA into the local even if it is finished packing.

Four, the next is for others to use, how to others, there are remote and not remote, I recorded here remote.

This remote does not directly through QQ and other direct delivery (at least I have tried to do not), I choose through the third-party distribution platform (dandelion) for distribution. Directly to the Dandelion website (provided that you have registered the account and authentication), upload just packed. IPA. Then get the app's link address or QR code, directly to the remote friends can be.

Well, that's pretty much the case, but this approach can only be done in a small area of testing, too many limitations, such as a personal developer's account for up to 88 udid, and every new test added Udid to re-update certificates and applications. is very troublesome, conditional words with the Enterprise certificate will be more convenient. Later, I'll record the. IPA distribution under the Enterprise certificate.
