Tune your AIR for iOS development skills: compile, install and profile like a pro

The purpose of this article is to share with you some tips, that might help you to speed up and improve the process of building AIR for iOS apps. These are the practices that I use every day and hopefully some of you will find them useful.

Installing an app (*.IPA) on your iOS device

As a developer you want to save time, being able to install apps on the device quickly and see the results is the most important thing. Using iTunes for app install has some drawbacks: you will have to synchronize it and it takes lot of time and you cannot install apps on devices that are not synchronized with your iTunes (like friend’s iPad).

iPhone Configuration Utility
Available for Windows and Mac from Apple, this smart piece of software helps you to manage apps installed on your devices.

Download for Windows | Download for Mac
