HOW TO DISTRIBUTE IOS APPS WITHOUT USING APP STORE

Most applications (even Android apps, on some stores) will have to pass an approval process before being distributed, so testing is mandatory to make sure your app reaches the market and succeed in winning your customers. The testing process can take several forms, from developer-level unit testing to managing beta testing across a wide variety of hardware.
