YEEEEEE HAW! Alright thanks to Everest11 most recently (and a lot of you) I got to finally have a successful build. What a pain in the butt process compared to the Android way of doing things but still happy!! :) So the app is on my iPhone... COOL! It works GREAT! Now WHERE is the actual app so I can upload it to my web site for others to test? Say my spouse and a couple associates? Xcode had a successful build and successfully installed it on my iPhone but now where is the app on my iMac so I can test it on other devices like a download from a web site? I apologize for the question but don't know other than on my testing device where the app ended up. Like with the Android app there was an .apk file that I uploaded to my site so looking for the actual compiled iPhone app OR is this only distributable via the App store? In other words what if I don't WANT to have this distributed through the App store and only via my web site... can I do that? I'd hate to have to go through the process of having to identify each person's device especially if we don't plan on distributing through the App store. We would like to make this a download and install from our site. THANK YOU!!

I did NOT mean to post this twice. Please forgive me for that. It was completely unintentional. :(

You unfortunately have to add in everyone's device to your provisioning profile even to do ad-hoc releases. There is a great web tool to help with all of this though called TestFlightApp located at testflightapp.com I use it for both my mainstream testing and an ad-hoc app. It works great and gets those mobile device IDs simply.

LOVE it phaques. I believe Everest11 did share that in one of his previous posts. I had come across that after posting this and glad you second the nomination for that site's usage in handling this matter for me. I really do appreciate the fast responsiveness of you, Everest11, David and everyone who steps up to help those who are newbs. I am more of an aggressive newb so pretty soon I'll be able to help others as I've been helped. Thanks for taking the time and here is where Everest11 first shared that site: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=711CD29D7F5968E3FC269F1&status=&searchInput=beta testing&sortColumn=FT.dateStampUTC&sortUpDown=DESC¤tPage=1&doViews=1 or http://tinyurl.com/4xn3bdw Thanks again J

Did you figure out how to make a ipa file for sharing?

YES SIR! Thanks Everest11. I did go to where you mentioned earlier and did do my homework. I read EVERYTHING and watched EVERYTHING. I followed the breadcrumbs and kind of cheated here and there by doing Google searches and finding supplemental information on it. Thank you thank you thank you guys for hookin a girl up! ;)
