Terry,

Open up the "devices" window in Xcode and you will see all the iOS devices 
connected via USB. You can drag in .app files and also add/delete using the "+" 
and "-" symbols.

You can also create a .ipa by putting the .app into a Payload folder and 
zipping it up and renaming it like you said.

you doing this)

Hi Colin – I’m not that familiar with Xcode (apart from occasionally using it 
to manage profiles). Very briefly, what do I need to do to get started there.

Terry...

    You can use Xcode to drag apps onto connected devices. It works with .app 
as well as .ipa.
    
    Apple have a configurator app. It also works with LiveCode .app:

just managed these using iTunes as most of the dedicated apps like Configurator 
are overkill for what I need to do.
