Can I test a mobile app developed in my personnel environment on an iOS device (iPhone)? I looked in the App Store for an OutSystems app and don't really see anything.
Thanks

Yes, you can test but for that, you will need Ad-hoc certificates & Provisioning Profile which are generated from an enterprise account of the apple-developer portal.
So unless you have an enterprise account - you can't :)
Hope it helps,

Hi FrankCLT,
Adding to what assif said, you can also test it by enabling the PWA feature which can be enabled by lifetime.
Below is the link for refrence :

Note: PWA feature is in testing phase so might some of the features not support.
Hope these links helps you.
Kind Regards,

What about Android devices? Yes, that did help...Thank you.

For android, you can just build a debug type build & you don't need any certificate for dev build for that
For Android, you can definitely generate the .apk file.

Happy to know, you resolve.
Yes, you can test a mobile app developed in your personal environment on an iOS device (iPhone), even if you don't find a specific OutSystems app on the App Store. OutSystems provides a way for developers to test their apps on real iOS devices using a process called "iOS app provisioning." Here's how you can do it:
Set Up an Apple Developer Account:
Install Xcode:
Create a Developer Certificate:
Create an App ID:
Configure App Provisioning Profiles:
Generate an iOS Build in OutSystems:
Install the App on Your iPhone:
Trust the Developer Certificate:
Run and Test Your App:
Please note that this process assumes you have access to a Mac computer since Xcode is only available on macOS. Additionally, it's essential to keep your provisioning profiles and certificates up to date, especially if you make changes to your app or add new devices for testing.
This method allows you to test your OutSystems-developed iOS app on your personal iOS device without relying on the App Store.
