BuildFerry

Distribute signed iOS test builds to approved iPhones with a Safari link

Meet BuildFerry

BuildFerry helps iOS developers get an unfinished app onto a tester’s iPhone. The developer supplies the IPA file and shares a link. The tester opens it in Safari, and the developer approves the device. BuildFerry handles signing in the cloud using the developer’s own Apple account, so the tester can install the build without opening Xcode.

The workflow is useful when a designer, client or QA colleague needs to try a particular build on physical hardware. It brings device registration, approval and installation into a single handoff instead of asking each tester to find and send a device identifier.
