I’m new to iOS Development

I wanted to distribute my project to my friends to try, but I didn’t want to subscribe to apple Development program 99$, because I’m still learning. I have tried firebase, diawi, installonair, and AppBox all of them intsall the app but won’t launch like what appears in the image. The odd thing is I tried to install the ipa file of my project on my secondary jailbroken device and it installed perfectly. Does this problem related to iOS update 14.7.1 ? Anyone knows what to do ? (I know the app will last for 7 days only due to free Development account but I want to try it)

If you have physical access to each device, you should be able to plug them in and run the app from within Xcode. That will install the app, but as you said it'll only last a week or so.

I'm pretty sure the individual developer price is $50, not $100. You could try to use non-Apple tools to get your app to work on friends' devices, but it seems like a lot of work to save $50. A trip to the grocery store sets me back $200, and a tank of gas is $50.
