I have some questions about the installation of .ipa file with wireless AdHoc distribution and Enterprise account to be completely clear in my mind (we use XCode 5.1, iOS 7.1)

  1. I read (here) that, for adhoc distribution, we don't need an Entreprise account, is that true ? Because I tested the method described in the link but it didn't work.
  2. Do we need an Entitlement file anymore ?
  3. Is the mobileprovision file already included in the .ipa file generated by XCode 5.1 ? (if we do Product -> Archive -> Distribute -> Save for Enterprise or Ad Hoc deployment and so on ...)

  1. AFAIK without enterprise account you can't do Adhoc distribution and the link you have shared is old one with iOS 5 example.
  2. I guess i didn't get your question completely. In the end Entitlement file is just a plist file and you can add as much as you wish.
  3. Yes mobile provision file will be included while building the .ipa

You can verify the third point with the following steps

  1. Rename the extension from *.ipa file to *.zip.

  2. Unarchive the zip file.

  3. The folder contains a *.app file. Right click and open the package contents.You'll find an embedded.mobileprovision file.
