iOS Question A certificate and provisioning profile

[Semen Matusovskiy]

I need to check some fragments on native smartphones, because the Simulator doesn't support, for example, a camera.
Earlier it was alone way - to pay $99/yr and order certificates on Apple web site.

But modern XCode releases allows to run a program on own IPhone.
Theoretically it should be possible to use in B4i the same .cer and .mobileprovision files.
Somebody did so ?

You will need an account if you want to distribute your app so the simple solution is to get an account.

You can make a simulator build and then open the generated Xcode project and run it on a connected device.

Erel --

Just now I don't want to distribute something. I simply want to run B4i app on my own phone.
When the app will be ready a customer will sign my app using his certificates.

Since XCode 7 (approximatelly) XCode generates temporary certificates, which are valid during a week.
There are some limits, but enough, if the purpose is to debug own app on own smartphone.
Theoretically B4i can use these certificates also.

I'm pretty sure that the temporary keys do not support over the air installation. You will need to install it through Xcode.
