iOS Question Deploy to local devices

[wl]

Hello,

I'm figuring out on how to deploy an iOS app on device I manage. I did create the application using a free Apple Dev account and deployed it to my devices, to find out the application refused to start up after the keys expired.

Would I be able to build the app using a paid Apple Developer Account and have it distributed to my own devices using TestFlight. I need to make sure that the application continues to start, even when the keys do expire, but would like to avoid going through the Apple validation process (for the time being).

I find this information on deployment on Apple devices so confusing ...

Thanks

Yes. You can also install them directly from the IDE or with the OTA tool.

Non-store apps will not run after the certificate has expired.

Thanks,

I currently have a provisioning file that expires in a week and I can't seem to extend this ?? (I have a free apple developer account where I have no access to any of the extra settings).

Thanks
