How to test your app on iPad/iphone, First you will need to register the device you will be using. Login to your Apple Developer account. Flill in the device name and it's unique identifier. Now that you have registered your device. You now need to create a Provsioning Profile that you will be using for testing. Select "Ad Hoc" becasue you will be testing your App on registered devices. Next it will ask you to select the App ID, you need a App ID if you want to create your iOS App. Check out How to Create App ID in iOS Provisioning Portal, Next it will ask you to select the Certificates you wish to include for this profile. Next comes a very important part. You will be asked to choose the device you want to include. This is where you select the device you just registered at the beginning of this tutorial. Now all thats left is to name your profile and click "Generate". You are now done creating your profile. Simply download the profile. Now when you create your App you will need to import the Provisioning Profile you just created. Make sure you choose the same certificate.

I would personally love this as an official feature, because I could hide all the apps I only use every now and again, while still being able to access those apps with Spotlight search. But alas, this isn’t the way it goes yet. You can have up to 12 pages of apps within folders on iPhone, which means you can hide apps deep inside a folder where someone would really need to search to find the app you’re hiding. The best way to hide apps in a folder is to make the first page of apps those that you’re not trying to hide. If you have more spare apps, you may even want to fill the first two or three pages with apps. The key here is just to flood a folder with a lot of apps and hide a couple apps amongst the others. Since you’re hiding apps, you’ll probably want to make this folder on your second or third Home screen. Swipe left to access these pages from the main Home screen. Tap and hold an app until all your apps wiggle.

If not, drag one of the wiggling apps you want to put in a folder towards another app you want to put in a folder. When the apps overlap, it will zoom in and create a folder. To truly hide an app, I recommend adding up to seven more apps so that the entire first page of your folder is all apps that you’re fine with people seeing. Then drag some apps to the right so that a new page within the folder will be created. You can fill this second page with apps and hide just one or two apps in this page so it’s not obvious. You can create up to 12 pages in a folder, so long as each page has at least one app. That means you could have a folder with ten pages of apps you only sometimes use, then have the apps you want to hide on the eleventh page. This method for hiding apps obviously doesn’t completely hide apps, but it sure makes it hard to accidentally come across them.

As long as you don’t have any of the apps you want to hide on the first page of the folder, someone will only be able to see the app if they open the folder. From home screen, the apps will be totally hidden. With iOS 10, Apple finally made it possible to hide stock Apple apps on iPhone. Apple stock apps are hidden the way third-party apps are deleted. But the app is only hidden because it’s technically not completely removed. We’ve done a lot of articles on getting stock apps back once they’ve been deleted, which you can do by simply downloading it from the app store. From Home screen, tap and hold the app you want to hide until all your apps start wiggling. Tap the X in the corner of the stock Apple apps you want to delete. Remember, if you decide you need any of these apps in the future, visit the App Store to get them back.
