IOS Ad Hoc Distribution Adding devices

Question

I've created a Ad Hoc distribution profile with a couple of devices. If I want to add a couple of devices to the profile, I have to create a new profile and a build in XCODE for my app with the assigned profile.

Is there a way to make this easier? A way to make the management of the devices more simple? Without rebuilding and redistributing the app.

I hope someone can help.

Answer 1

You can't change the list of devices an ad-hoc app will work on without at least re-signing with xcode and redistributing the app. Sorry! I suppose Apple feel it opens up non-appstore distribution methods if you can add devices to an app already out there.

Answer 2

In fact you can!!

You don't have to recompile your project again. You don't even have to open XCode.

All you have to do is create a new mobileprovision file and distribute it with the existing app.

Your end users have to download and install the new mobileprovision file and app, by this order.

Here is a step-by-step.
