PRIVATE APP

Hi guys, my question is this: How I can make a private app only for me ? What I need to do for this? I'm new in developing apps for IOS and I want to test and app that I´m making for my Master Thesis which uses NFC technology. That`s why i need t use my physical device because I´m using it as a reader. My apps needs to comunitcate with a web server that I own.

What are the procedures that I must follow to be able to test my app in my own apple phone ? The only one that need access to the app is me.

I don´t understan very well if I can do this for academics purpose or I need to be member of one of the other developers plans that are available and in this case which one is good for me ?

Thanks in advance for your answers !

Xcode supports the concept of a personal team. This allows you to sign in with any Apple ID and then deploy an app to your own personal device.

The main gotcha here is that a personal team does not support all capabilities. For a summary of what it does support, see Advanced App Capabilities (the confusingly named Sign in with Apple ID column is the one to look at).

Unfortunately it seems that Core NFC is one of the capabilities not supported in a personal team )-: It sounds like Core NFC is critical to your app’s concept. Given that, I can see a couple of ways forward:

You can also put your app in the beta. Once you do this, nobody can access it, only the people who you invite can beta test it.

You can also put your app in the beta.

Right, but that requires a Developer Program membership, which requires moolah.
