Hi guys,
I was just wondering if it is possible to test an app on a physical ios device without paying for a dev account. I’ve heard that it should be possible with Xcode 7 but I can’t seem to find any tutorials.
Have a good day

I tried that, but the thing is that I’m only able to make that method work for apps written in Xcode itself, I don’t seem to find a way to do it with apps written in the corona sdk.
Any other suggestions?
Have corona SDK do a “Show in Finder” when you do a build. Then using Xcode, tether your device and go to Windows->Devices. You can drag the .app that Corona SDK creates to this window and have Xcode install it. It needs to be built with either a developer based provisioning profile or a Distribution AdHoc profile.

Hi Rob,
The problem is that I can’t find a method to sign my app. I can’t find where the certificates, identifiers and profile page is on my apple dev account page. Any help with that?
Have a nice day

I just go to: https://developer.apple.com/
Login with my developer Apple ID. It presents me with a menu to got to iTunes Connect, the Provisioning Portal and a couple of other places. The Provisioning Portal is where you create your certificates, app ID’s, what test devices you want to use and create the provisioning profile that Corona SDK needs to build your app.
Since I’m a paid member, I’ve never had to go through the “free” model and perhaps Xcode can build an install to a tethered device without needing a provisioning profile. If that’s the case, you may have to pay Apple earlier than you wanted to.
