Running iOS app on a different Mac / simulator


I have built a demo iOS app on my Mac. My client wants to get the executable and run it on his iOS simulator on his Mac so as to give me feedbacks. I have an Apple developer account and I can deploy my app to my iPad / iPhone or distribute it via AppStore. But I don't know how to generate an iOS simulator executable for him. He only wants the iOS simulator executable. Does anyone have tried this before?

P.S. I can't really distribute it via AppStore since it is just a demo app. It is very likely rejected. Plus, I have to send it to him today so I don't think Apple can pass my app within a day.

P.P.S. I can't give him the source code unless he pays me. But it is not possible after a month.

Please help. Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • You need to send him the Application folder under the iPhone Simulator folder.

    You can find it here:

    ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/<Simulator-Version>/Applications/
