About IPAShare

The simplest way to distribute iOS apps outside the App Store.

What is IPAShare?

IPAShare is a free, open, and fully serverless web tool that lets iOS developers upload their compiled .ipa files to their own personal cloud storage (Google Drive or Dropbox) and instantly generate an OTA (Over-the-Air) install link — no Mac, no Xcode, no expensive enterprise certificate required.

Why We Built It

Sharing iOS builds with testers is historically painful. TestFlight has a review queue. Enterprise certificates cost $299/year and risk revocation. Ad-hoc distribution requires manually adding UDIDs. IPAShare eliminates that friction — if your tester's device is already in your provisioning profile, they can install in one tap, straight from your own cloud.

100% Serverless & Private

Our entire file-handling pipeline runs in your browser. OAuth tokens are stored in localStorage and never leave your device. Your IPA is uploaded directly to your Google Drive or Dropbox via their official APIs. We have no server that receives, processes, or logs your files. The only server-side component is an optional short-link generator that stores the itms-services:// URL — not the IPA itself.

Who Is It For?

  • Independent iOS developers distributing internal builds to a small QA team
  • Freelancers delivering client apps for review before App Store submission
  • Students and hobbyists testing their own apps on personal devices
  • Anyone who wants an alternative to TestFlight for registered-device distribution
