So I want to allow my client to try the app im developing, but I fear giving them the source prior to completion. Is there a way to send them a compiled version if they have x-code on their computer?

There are many ways to test iOS App.

1) Testflight

2) Diawi is another simple way. with using Diawi you have to upload an IPA and send client to onli url for download. it's Completely Wireless installation.

Steps for Diawi........

  • Upload the application and its provisioning profile.
  • Send the link to your testers, clients, friends or even use it yourself.
  • Open the link in Safari on the iOS device and click on install.

you have to add their iPhone’s UDID in the provisioning profile.

3) test In Simulator. if client needs to test in simulator then send .app file to client.

Steps for .app file

  • xCode window tab
  • Organizer
  • Right click to the archive you want to get app
  • Show in finder
  • Right click to (ProductName….). xcarchive file
  • Show package contents
  • Products
  • Applications

Test-flight is the right way to achieve this.

You can also archive your build and send them the .ipa file to test. Don’t forget to add their iPhone’s UDID in the provisioning profile.

  • If I'm not mistaken, the second solution would require the client to open the iTunes software, drag the IPA into "My Applications", connect the iPhone to his Mac and click "Sync". I recommend TestFairy.com, a good tool for sending test download links. – Arik Segal Feb 04 '16 at 07:21

Do you want them to test on Simulator or actual device? If its the actual device then you have to provision their device in your app provisioning profile and then create the IPA and send it. If you don't want to use TestFlight or other stuff you can send the IPA an ask them to install it via iTunes. If they have Xcode then they can install it from the Devices window.

  1. login developer account in xcode and browser

  2. got to browser developer account then Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles and devices then add udid of device here that you want to install the app.

  3. In xcode generate signing certificate and fill bundle identifier , versions and build

  4. select the any iOS device in runner section.

  5. go to product option then click on archive.

6.the click on distribute the app then select ad-hoc then next then automatic manage signing Then export and choose location (document folder). Now go to diawi.com and upload the this ipa and share the link to that device to install the IPA
