How do I install production iOS build without distributing to App Store?

[azroberts8]

Hi all!

I do not have the $99/year Apple Developer account yet am able to run my project in debug on my iPhone using tauri ios dev. Using tauri ios build I am able to build a production .ipa version of my project but am unable to install it to my device. (presumably due to signing)

Is there a way to temporarily sign and install this build without the Apple Developer account or distributing to the app store? I am not looking for a permanent solution, I am just looking to test the performance of the app's production build since it is not loading the UI from my live server.

Any help would be much appreciated!
