Question on How to Distribute iOS apps for testing

[William Prothero]

Scott, thanks for your input and patience.
Problem solved. I need to use the “Add to Library” command under the File menu, tho. Dragging didn’t seem to do it for me, even though I drug, drug, drug everywhere I could think of.
Best,
Bill
