A great front-end developer I know is getting into iOS development (horray!), and he had a simple question that he wanted answered in a minute without having to go through all the Xcode and iOS tutorials:

How do I run my Xcode project on my iPhone?

So here it is. To run your Xcode project on your iPhone instead of in the iOS Simulator:

• Plug in your iPhone to your MacBook
• Open your Xcode project
• Open the Organizer window (Window menu » Organizer)
• Click on the Devices tab at the top
• Click on your new device in the left-hand navigation
• Click the “Use for Development” button. (If Organizer asks you to create and upload a developer certificate for you, allow it.)
• Right-click on your device in the left-hand navigation, and click “Add to Provisioning Profile”. (After a few seconds, the yellow circle next to your device in the left-hand navigation will then turn green.)
• Close the Organizer window and go to your Xcode project window
• Click on the iPhone 5.1 Simulator drop-down at the top, and select “Your_iPhone_Device_Name”
• Click the Play button

That’s it! Happy coding!
