I created an app using react native, I have tested it on my IOS devices by connecting them with xcode, but now i want to share myApp with others to test it. To do that I generated myApp.ipa file by archiving, simply I just navigate to Product -> Application -> myapp, after archive is done, i copied the file to a folder named Payload after compressing the file, changed the Payload.zip to myApp.ipa after that I upload it to the Diawi website then got the link, installed the app on my ios device but unfortunately i cant run it? myApp is shaded with black, and nothing is there in Setting -> General -> Profiles. what did i do wrong? or if there is a simple way to let other test myApp.ipa please share.
Cant run myApp.ipa after installing it from Diawi
