AI Thread Summary
To install a personal app developed on a PC and tested on iOS onto an iOS device, users typically need to utilize Xcode on a Mac, as direct sideloading of apps onto iOS is not permitted. Instead, developers must enroll in the Apple Developer Program, upload their app to the App Store, and then download it to their device. Some IDEs may offer features that allow testing on real devices, but these often require specific setups or additional applications. ML Flow is mentioned as a potential tool for managing software deployments, though its compatibility with iOS is uncertain. Overall, the process emphasizes the necessity of using official channels for app distribution on iOS devices.

TL;DR Summary
How to install apps locally?
Given that I have a little personal app, developed on pc, tested (under iOS) and running. How can I get the app on my iOS device? All I have is a folder with a lot of files in it.

I'm currently looking into a product called ML Flow that might work for you.

My understanding is that you can't sideload an app onto iOS instead you must signup as a developer upload it to the app store and then download it to your device.

@vela was right: the IDE company has an app at the store that installed an environment in which the IDE developed projects could be tested, and the "tests" work even without its server. At the beginning I only saw the simulator in the IDE, but it also connected to the device.

MLFlow has the capability of loading software for various environmental deployments. I haven't worked with iOS before so I didn't know if it was a workable solution.
