I think the deploy straight from Xcode to your device builds have a pretty short lifetime (I remember it being a month in around 2014 or 2015) not sure now. If you archive and build using a certificate from developer.apple.com they last a year.



As someone with dozens of side loaded iOS apps, all of my apps are working just fine, well over 6 months later. I always build and deploy without archiving.


Yeah okay - maybe things have changed then but I remember building an app for my boss in 2014 and it telling me it would last 30 days.
