Cloud Developed Test App

Hey, I'm trying to run a test app on my iphone.

I don't have a mac to use for development so I used a cloud service to rent a development server. I went to developer.apple.com and signed up for an unpaid development account as I'm only trying to run the app on my own personal device at the moment.

I created a test app and tried to build/archive it but I keep getting an error that it failed to create a provisioning profile since there are no devices registered to my account on the developer site. I read online that one of the solutions to that problem is to physically connect my iphone to the development server, since it's remote I can't do that.

So, how can I build a test app remotely and run it on my local device?

Thanks for the help.

I don’t see any way to make this work. If you had a paid developer account you could set up your provisioning profile via Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, but that’s not available to free accounts.
