So I am currently making an app for somebody else that lives in another state. Is there any way that I can somehow upload it (Ad-hoc?) to somewhere, and they can download it on their phone to test out themselves? I'm guessing I would have to know there ID's for their iPhone.
If this is possible, how can I do this? I currently have the $99 developer license.
There are some sites which gives the facility to upload the .ipa file and then returns a URL to your application and this will not be publicly visible . you just need to share this URL with your client and make sure , that the .ipa file for your app has been signed for the client device other vise it will not install on his device.
site are :- http://www.diawi.com/ https://testflightapp.com/
First open http://www.diawi.com
Now drag and drop your project's .ipa file and your provisioning profile.
After click on send button one LINK is created
Now you can send this link to somewhere and he/she can download your application.
hope it will help you.
@Phil Scarf,
Create a Ad-hoc distribution certificate and add devices to that(using their device uuid's). Compile Xcode project using created distribution certificate. create .ipa file and send distribution certificate and .ipa file. Using both, they can install.

Of course you can provide them with test build.That is the purpose of adhoc-distribution.
You can provide build in many number of ways. .api file is the output file that you know.Jus run the code copy the api and you can share it
When creating the provision profile we add the list of devices to be tested so add the client udid there and download and install the new profile
and from the developer portal create a adhoc distribution certificate
The best way is to distribute over the air
