Hi! from what i understand i should be able to put my .ipa file on a web server, use a link like this
href=“itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://path/to/your/manifest.plist”
to install my app on a phone from a browser. Is that true and if it is how do i create that manifest.plist for my app?
This is only possible if it is built with a dev certificate and your iPhone is registered as a test phone in the provisioning profile (so any other free distribution to other phones are just not possible in this way). If this is what you are planning, I believe you can just take the auto generated plist when you are building the app and add it to the project, do the changes and point to it in game.project under ios -> info.plist
IF you are looking for a way to test your game, Apple just changed their way of testing so you can now generate a link after you uploaded the game to Testflight and then freely distribute this link to anyone who wants to test it.
