My client asked me to get the review of the app on which I am working. So, I want to get the ipa file and mobile provision file from Xcode 4.2 to share my app to run in real device. I have a paid account of apple with me. Please tell me the procedure to get it.
Thanks in advance.
STEP-1:
You need to refer steps for AdHoc Distribution
I think you need to login with your credentials at Developer Apple Login
Once you are logged in go through this link and read through it step by step.
I think this is the best solution you can get as this documentation guide is given by Apple
https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/howto.action
This has multiple steps like:
1. Generating a Certificate Signing Request
2. Submitting a Certificate Signing Request for Approval
3. Approving Certificate Signing Requests
4. Downloading and Installing Development Certificates
5. Saving your Private Key and Transferring to other Systems
I think if you read all this steps on the apple documentation at the given link then you don't need to refer to any other guide.
STEP-2:
Then just you need to download your certificates and provisioning profile.
STEP-3:
Just set the profile into your Project and Target Settings and then put proper Entitlements using "Entitlements.plist".
STEP-4:
Once you have done that, just set up your project in AdHoc Scheme.
STEP-5:
Clean your Project.
STEP-6:
Go to Product -> Click on Build For -> "Build For Archiving"
STEP-7:
Product -> Archive
Now your Archive can be obtained in your Organizer where in you can save it to disk with an IPA extension and send it your client.
EDIT:
Here are some of the useful links you can refer to for creating provisioning profile and IPA file:
