Installing an App for Testing

When a developer sends an app for you to test, you use iTunes to install the app on your device.

To install the test app on your device:

1. In the Finder, drag the provisioning profile (the file with the .mobileprovision extension) to the iTunes icon in the Dock.

   • 注：实际测试时无需安装provisioning profile也可，在安装ipa时自动安装上去了。

2. Double-click the app archive <App_Name>.ipa.

   The app appears in the iTunes Applications list.

3. Sync your device.

   If the version of iOS on your device is earlier than the test app can run on, you need to update your device with the current version of iOS.
