Is it possible to install an IOS app without having to go up in the store? Just like I can just download the . apk and install on android?

An example of what I’m talking about: http://www.gba4iosapp.com/download/

If you access the link and click download it will ask if you want to install the application without having to access the App Store store.

  • I think so. But for that you have to have a developer account on Apple (Apple Developer). From there in the xml of your project you inform your ID, that when generating the . app you will be able to install in your device.

  • I have a developer account. It only generates a folder called My App.app. I even tried to upload this folder on my server and access through my cell phone, but it didn’t work.

I was able to solve, just generate the file . ipa after generating Archive and have it exported in Xcode 8.

With this will also be generated a file called "manifest.plist", just upload both files on a server for example, and put a tag in an html for the user to click and do the donwload:

<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=<URL ABSOLUTA>/manifest.plist">Instalar App</a>
