How can I download my flutter app to my iPhone without putting it in the App Store?
I can run my flutter app on my iPhone in debug mode via usb or wifi but I want to be able to use it without these restrictions. Is this possible?
Edit:
What are the steps to create a .ipa file to then be loaded onto my phone?
You have to create an archive and distribute the app then you will find app_name.ipa file then you are able to install the app using itune

Good evening, I was wandering if there is the possibility to fully download (not just debug) an app made by me with Flutter on my own iPhone without passing through the App Store and without the developer account of Apple. Thanks in advance!
Edit: If I develop the app with React Native instead of Flutter is the same or in that case can I download it?
Actually, you can't do that because you have to need developer account to install the app on your phone. That's iOS requirements, but you can create free amount then you create free certificate just one week.

To install a Flutter app on an iOS device you need to either generate an IPA file or publish your application in the App Store. To be able to achieve that you need two things :
A MacOS machine with XCode
An Apple developer account
For 1 there are solutions. If you do not own a Mac you can use services like appollo to configure and build your app. It's pretty easy to use.
For 2, you do not really have a choice. To be able to install an app on a physical device you have to add the device UDID in your developer account. Otherwise the IPA will not be installed.
I have recently coded an IOS app on my windows PC using unity, I have exported it and set it to the right format, and I was just wondering wether there was a way to directly export it onto my IPhone without using the app store.
Assuming you have an .ipa file, with the correct provisioning profile for your device, you can open it with iTunes and then sync with your phone.
I am new to iphone development. I know that in order to make apps for ios devices either you need to have developer account or jailbreak ios device. I jailbroke my iphone 5. Then I made simple hello world app for iphone and then converted it to .ipa. Now when I install it via itunes, I first see icon on my iphone and see that it is installing. After completion, it pops up a message that app failed to install. How can I fix this problem? Why its not installing?

Try it it will help full , you can directly run app on your device
I've created few apps and want to download them to my iPhone. Do i have to use Xcode to run all my previously created projects? or is there a way to tell app store that i developed these apps so i can download them for free?
You can generate a voucher via iTunes connect and redeem it with App store.
I develop iPhone/iPad apps using the Adobe ADT tool. it compiles a .IPA file which needs to be loaded onto the device using iTunes.
Now - myself I own only a 3G iPhone. My friends sometimes lend me theyr devices for testing purposes.
For Apps developed with XCode, this is no problem. You just connect the device, add the provisioning profile to the device and load the app through XCode onto it.
But how to do it if I only have an .IPA file (plus provisioning profile of course). ITunes allows me only to load it to the device by synchronizing, but this will delete all the stuff my friends loaded onto theyr devices.
How can I test my IPA files and return the devices without any changes?
Thanks!
You should look into this: http://testflightapp.com/
You can upload IPA builds for ad-hoc distribution and beta testing. You only have to click an "Install" link on the phone and it takes care of the rest.
Read up on over-the-air (OTA) setup. No sync necessary, just delete the app and the profile afterwards. iOS 4 and higher required.
You can use the Iphone Configuration Utility from Apple to install and uninstall ipa files. It's available for Windows and MacOS.
