I'm also trying to share an app through TestFlight, first time I have tried but MD is telling me that my app is "not built for active configuration" when I select the AdHoc|Phone profile.
I have created an AdHoc certificate and it's in xcode, when I Build All it just flashes and MD output says "Done Build successful". What am I doing wrong?

You DO need a certificate installed on the device tho, however you do it) He generates a plist like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>items</key> <array> <dict> <key>assets</key> <array> <dict> <key>kind</key> <string>software-package</string> <key>url</key> <string>http://myserver.com/path/to/MyApp.ipa</string> </dict> </array> <key>metadata</key> <dict> <key>bundle-identifier</key> <string>BINDLE IDENTIFIER HERE (it's in MD's config for the app)</string> <key>kind</key> <string>software</string> <key>title</key> <string>THE TITLE HERE</string> </dict> </dict> </array> </dict> </plist> and then makes a folder called Payload, puts his .app in there, and zips it all (so the root folder inside the zip contains Payload). Rename the .zip to .ipa he thens links to the .plist, like this: itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://youserver.com/path/to/MyApp.plist you load the page with the link in mobile safari, tap it, and you are good to go. It might need need the mobile cert installed first, but you could put that on the same page... I'm thinking about doing a quick app tonight to do this automatically. Basically, look into the .csproj (to get the name, .app location and bundle ID), and generate it all into a folder for FTPing. Or maybe a MD plugin, if I can work out how to do them!
