Question on How to Distribute iOS apps for testing

[Scott Rossi]

The iTunes method I've used in the past is to first add friends' device
IDs under Devices in the iOS development portal and generate/download an
updated provisioning file.  Distribute the standalone and the provisioning
file to friends.  They then drag these files onto iTunes, and sync their
device/s.
