How to use Remote Installer: what you can do with it

What is Remote Installer? Remote Installer is a command-line tool that shares a signed iOS or Android build from your computer over a temporary HTTPS link so a phone can install it directly.

How do I use it? Install the tool with brew install icodesign/tap/remote-installer; then Confirm the target iPhone's UDID is in the provisioning profile and that the app was rebuilt after the device was registered; run remote-installer share /path/to/MyApp.app (or use your .ipa path). Full steps below.
