The first version of iOS BetaBuilder was released months ago. It seemed good but not very attractive or very actual at the moment.

This week I am wondered each time I release AdHoc IPA to show customers, partners or friends to test. I wonder like a child to a brand-new toy. I found that I want to use it more and more. I’d say it motivates to produce more results comparing to old way to distribute with magic passes like it was in 2009.

So I’d like to say a big THANKS to developers. They really:
- have discovered and solved the problem beautifully
- have published the source code on GitHub
- want to publish the app on the Mac App Store
iOS BetaBuilder current version is 1.5 (download it).
Generate an IPA and save it to disk
To contribute something to this topic I’d like to share my method of “generate AdHoc in 30 seconds”. First of all we need to make usual steps to generate an IPA and save it to disk. Usually it takes 10–15 seconds, but very depends of an application size.
- open target project
- select Device and AdHoc as a build configuration
- press Build and Archive to create the adHoc IPA file
- when it’s built go to the Xcode Orginzer by pressing Ctrl+Cmd+O
- at the left find target application name and press Share button
- select right provision profile and press “Save to disk”

Generate Deployment Files- open the BetaBuilder
- select the IPA file
- if ”Full Web Development Path” is empty then past the folder’s Dropbox public URL to it
- press “Generate Deployment Files” to that dropbox subfolder
Yes, I know it looks difficult, but after 2 times it will take untill 30 seconds to share an AdHoc. It rocks! Don’t believe me, but just try your self!
