step :5 Now click on "App Id" in left menu bar. create your app id.

step :6 Now click on "Certificates" in left menu, choose the development field. now you should have a certificate with valid authority to upload it. for getting a certificate open "keychain access" then upper left corner of your desktop (near the apple icon) click on "Keychain Access", now choose ...certificate Assistant > Request a certificate from a certificate authority. then enter your mail in first row, choose saved to disk and then continue. now come to on upload this certificate to apple account.

step: 7 now click on "Provisioning" at left menu bar in apple site. choose the "development" field then click on "New Profile" on right side. make your app profile, check the certificate, select an your app id, check the device. then submit.

Apple does not allow this, app build as Ad-Hoc will only run if and only if there is a UDID in the provisioning profile.

You will need to add the UDID for every iOS device you want to test you app via the provisionings portal.

There a solution to use a single Ad-Hoc profile for most of your apps: use a wildcard bundle ID (*) to make one provisioning profile word with more then one app. But you can't do this for apps that have APNS or iAP.

Below is the Apple guide for distributing your app for testing:

Hope it helps!

NOTE: You should have access to iOS Provisioning Portal in order to add your tester's device UDID.
