Ad Hoc should be for development iOS devices?

Question

Just I want to send the ipa file to my customer in order to test it, I have searched about my question, but unfortunately I did not find the answers.

When the customer want to install the ipa file through iTunes, should his iOS device be registered as a development device in developer.apple.com or no ?

Note: I have installed the ipa to my device successfully, but I don't know if it is completed because my iPhone is already registered .

Thanks.

I would give TestFlight a try. Very Easy to handle...

Yes, on the provisioning Portal under Device you first need to insert the UDID of the (new) device.

Then, below, in the Provisioning menu go to the Distribution tab. There, either create a new profile or edit an existing profile. Ensure the device is part of the profile.

After submission of the new/modified profile wait a while. Within a few minutes the download button appears (you will need to refresh the tab).

Download the certificate from Safari and drag&drop it into the Xcode organizer or download it from within Xcode.

Exit Xcode and reopen (helps avoiding strange certificate problems), then Build&Archive
