So I have a teammate/client I need to share an app I'm developing. They have android and a Mac Desktop so it would be shared through the Simulator only.
I've tried the archive app and there seems to be no way to get this work with the .ipa file which is generated.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?
Share the source code, then run the app in Xcode. Voila, it is now in the Simulator. They have to install Xcode anyway to get the Simulator so there really isn't any extra work involved other than building the app.
The .ipa is built for iOS devices and cannot run in the Simulator. I suppose you could transfer the binary to another simulator and get it to work, but I have not heard of anyone doing it that way and, frankly, it seems like potentially more work than "clone this git repo, load the project/workspace in Xcode, click the triangle button and wait a bit."
All you can do is you can just generate the .app
file. But how you can run it on a simulator (applies only if Xcode 8.2 or above isn't installed), I really don't have the idea. If you want to have your .app
generated, follow this:
.app
fileYou will need to have previously built the app for the intended target. The "Product" option in the top menu bar includes a couple of ways to trigger this including: "Build for" of "Destination".
The yourApp.app
you are looking for is stored in: <<YOURUSERHOME>>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<<YOURAPPNAME-UID>>/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator
.app
file you want to share, and select "Show In Finder"What you are trying to do is not going to work. You can not share the .ipa file for someone else to install it on an iPhone simulator.
