iphone - What is an Ad Hoc certificate for iOS test app distribution?

Question

I'm developing a iPhone app and need to send it to my client. In turn, my client will distribute it to many other people for end-user testing.

What kind of Provisioning Profile, Certificate, or Code Signing will accomplish this task? I've heard something about Ad Hoc certificates; is an Ad Hoc certificate relevant for this task?

Answer 1

• Yes, ad hoc is exactly what you need for massive end user beta testings.
• There is a very thorough and comprehensive tutorial about this, right from Apple. Log into your iOS dev center account ==>> iOS Provisioning Portal ==>> Distribution ==>> Prepare App
