To avoid the need of complex deployment systems to install the application, the Ad-hoc distribution method is used during the stabilization phase. The method allows distributing the application as a standard file and installing it on a set of devices using iTunes or the iPhone Configuration Utility. The process consists of three steps:
Locating the Unique Device ID for every device that will be used for testing.
Building the application for those Device IDs.
Installing the application.
Download the app "UDID Pro" from the App Store.
Install the app.
Follow the instructions to send the UDID by mail.
Connect your device to your Mac or PC and launch iTunes.
In iTunes, select your device in the ‘Devices’ section and navigate to the Summary tab.
Click on the Serial Number label to reveal the Identifier field and the 40 character UDID.
Copy the UDID identifier to your clipboard.
After providing the UDID, Infragistics will prepare a SharePlus build specifically targeted to your device and send you the application file (.ipa). In order to successfully create the build, Infragistics Engineers need your Distribution Certificate.
See the following instructions to install the application:
If you have a previous SharePlus version installed:
Remove the old app from the device
Remove the old app from iTunes App Catalog
Install the beta build:
Drag the .ipa file to iTunes.
Select the new app in the Apps Section from the device
Apply changes to synchronize the app to the device
