How to use device instead of Simulator
I like to know how to test my own iOS app on my ipad or iphone. I know that there's IOS emulator in Mac OS, but I like to test my apps with a real hardware.
My research says that I have to jailbreak my ipad. Is this correct? or is there any other alternatives?
You do not need to jail break your device to test on it.
You do need to sign-up with apple and get a developer account. That will allow you to get a provisioning profile and certs, then you can run on your device to test.
If you want others to test your apps on real devices look into ad-hoc deployments.
The majority of your development will be with the simulator but by all means, always test on real devices ...
