    <p>The archive that Xcode provides is in the form of an .ipa file. This is a glorified zip file with a certain expected file structure. </p> <p>The .ipa is made up of the following components: </p> <ul> <li>A folder named "Payload", which contains the compiled (release/iPhone) .app</li> <li>a 57x57 .png icon file (which is displayed while the app is being downloaded)</li> <li>a 512x512 .png file of the icon once again - however this has to renamed itunesartwork with no extension</li> <li>iTunesMetadata.plist - this contains information about the app, such as copyright name, genre, itemname, softwareIconNeedsShine (you can google what information this needs).</li> </ul> <p>The way I package up our .ipa, is I have a folder called "App Packaging" which has all of these components already in, and I simply update the .app file whenever we do an upload, "Compress..." then rename the file to x.ipa (OS X will ask if you want to use this extension, make sure you select ("use .ipa" !). </p> <p>You can then send the file to the testers to install via itunes. If the testers are all testing on devices that are iOS 4.0+ then it is possible to distribute this over the air as well but I can go into that only if you would like me to?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/X1Ahe.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZXMag.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p><strong>EDIT - Over the air distribution</strong></p> <p>It is possible to do over the air distribution of apps as well. We use it for distribution of an enterprise app we develop but it is possible to use it for testing purposes as well. It should be noted here that in order for the app to installed, the device needs to be included in the provisioning profile you signed the app with (but you knew that already!).</p> <p>In order to do over the air, you need 3 things:</p> <ul> <li>the .ipa file we created earlier.</li> <li>a 57x57 .png icon file (same as the one included in the .ipa preferably)</li> <li>a file called "Manifest.plist"</li> </ul> <p>The Manifest plist contains the following structure/information:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/b58v6.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>You'll then want to upload all of these files to your website/intranet etc. In order to download the app, you'll need to create a page that points to the Manifest.plist file and then then iOS takes care of the rest and downloads the app from the location specified in the manifest. </p>

    3. COIf installed via iTunes: the provisioning profile seems to be added automatically. Does iTunes login to my dev account to add the device? Does that mean, everybody who gets the IPA will be able to install and will reduce my 100 available devices? Scary!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
