Update:I strongly suggest Testflight app for distributing iOS builds over the air. Next option is diawi.com which allows you to distribute the app similar to file-sharing sites, drag and drop ipa file and share the link to the testers.
Here I will explain about build sharing through dropbox
- Build your app from Xcode using Build and Archive Option.
- Upload your ipa to dropbox. And copy the public link of ipa . Then create direct download link from that dropbox link .
- (Direct download link creation:Replacehttps://www.dropbox.com/ with this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/ )
- create manifest file through Xcode (Manifest file creation:Try to create another ipa file and please tick the option include manifest for over-the-air installation during ipa creation and put dropbox direct link of ipa in the palce of app url.After the ipa creation we will get an ipa file and a manifest file)
- Update ipa direct link in manifest file in line number #14.
- Upload manifest file in to dropbox and create direct downloadable link for the same.
- Create html for downloading the ipa.
!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
<title>Chillr</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/5gn1amzzuovlf3v/manifest.plist"><h2>Download Chillr Prepod</h2></a><br/><br/><br/>
<br/><br/><br/>
</body>
</html>
- Update the url in the html, Use direct link of manifest file.
- Upload html in to dropbox and create direct download link of the same. From this direct download link we can install the build.
