Possible to publish Air for iOS app for in house distribution?

Question

In the "Air for iOS" publish in Flash CS5.5 there is no deployment option for "In House" distribution.

Is there a way to publish and end up with a .ipa that can be used for "In House" distribution?

Answer 1

In Flash CS5.5, go to the AIR for iOS Settings > Deployment tab and select "Deployment - Ad hoc". That radio button should really be labeled, "Deployment - Ad hoc or In house".

Answer 2

I came across this solution (you need osx/xcode4 for it to work)

A few sidenodes:

• Use the 'Deployment - Apple App store' deployment type
• The author is talking about a .app, but CS5.5 only gives you a .ipa. Just rename the .ipa to .zip and extract the contents untill you see a .app file in the /Payload/ folder.
• Also I had to restart xcode4 in order to see the 'newly' created archive.

Hope this helps.
