How to install an iOS app

I have written in iOS app for inhouse use.
I can install it with Xcode on my iPhone as explained in the xojo manual and everything works fine.

Now I want to give this app to someone else who manages all the companies iPhones (he is as new to this as me, so we both are pretty much clueless right now).

He has installed Configurator 2 to manage the iPhones and installation of settings etc. is working. However if he wants to install my app it simpy does not appear on the iPhone (no error message what went wrong).

At
http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/2.0/?lang=en#/cad525c10b6
Add in-house enterprise apps

they are talking about .ipa files but xojo compiled apps and with .app
can that have anything to do with it?

Any help/pointers are greatly appreciated.

Greetings from Germany,

Isn't ipa an installer package?

And don't you wrap it up in an installer when submitting to the app store?

Not done it myself though.

Take care

No idea but sounds like it.
All I get from Xojo is an ".app" though, not an ".ipa".

I don´t want to submit to the app store, just install on some local iPhones.

You would still need to install it -> ipa

Running it from inside Xojo / Xcode is equivalent to running it in the debugger.

But I'm sure others can help. You should ask on the forum though, in the iOS channel.

Take care

Turn the switch "Build for App Store" to ON, in Build Setting for iOS to build .ipa.

Best,
Christer

Now it also works with the .app-file.

Just for the record in case another iOS noob like me is having the same problem:

What was wrong was, that I have do add the UDID of every device where I want to install the app to my developer profile.
