Preparing App for adHoc testing using Windows iTunes

To be honest, I find the iTunes method frustrating, but you have limited options. While we don’t produce a .ipa file when using an AdHoc profile, .ipa files are easy to make.

  1. Make a folder named “Payload” (case sensitive)

  2. Move/copy your .app produced by Corona inside the new Payload folder

  3. CMD-Click (or Right-Click) on the folder and choose “Compress”. You will now have Payload.zip

  4. Rename Payload.zip to youAppName.ipa

  5. Tell the popup that it’s okay to change the extension.

You should now have a .ipa file that you can use like any other .ipa file.
