    Why don't you use TestFlight and diawi.com. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20160285/install-ipa-to-ipad-with-or-without-itunes/21011862#21011862 – Pawan Sharma Aug 20 '14 at 09:04
  • I don't want to use third party sites and SDK... – jailani Aug 20 '14 at 09:28
  • You should try diawi.com it simplest to use, no registration or sign in is required just open the url in Safari on the device and it will install app on device. Considering Google Drive and Dropbox services are also third parties. – Pawan Sharma Aug 20 '14 at 10:19
  • Google Drive is for an example but I can use my organization's drive right?... – jailani Aug 20 '14 at 12:39

Have a look at this link which describes the process of OTA distribution of ipa files. This link uses old version of Xcode but you can follow it in new Xcode versions as well.

Note: You need url in advance & web-server where you will upload the ipa . plist & html file. I think you can give try using Google Drive / Dropbox

Let me know if it works for you.

Rather that using the google drive I will suggest you to use the TestFlight.. Go to testflight.com. Create an account. Its the simple and best way to even allow the clients and testers to install the app without using iTunes.
