The first thing you need is a development certificate. Visit the iOS provisioning portal and follow the steps here: http://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/howto.action:
Once that is done, you can do everything else from Xcode. Using Xcode 4:
- Connect your device via USB.
- Open the Xcode organizer (
Window->Organizer)
Select "Provisioning Profiles"
Check the "Automatic Device Provisioning" checkbox and click "Refresh"
You will be prompted to enter your developer account username and password. Do this.
This step will automatically create and download a wildcard (*) provisioning profile that you can use for testing any application on your device.
After a few seconds you should see this new profile appear in the list with the name "Team Provisioning Profile: *"
Restart Xcode just to be safe. Sometimes it can get confused.
Open a project and select your device from the main schemes dropdown box:
Build and run.
If that doesn't work straight away, make sure your target has the correct code signing options. Find your target's build settings and for the Debug configuration choose "iPhone Developer" under the "Automatic Profile Selector" group in the dropdown:
This should be selected by default.
Good luck!
