The IPA file must be accompanied by a provisioning file for your device, so you will actually have two files to install. Transfer and save both the IPA file and the provisioning file to your computer’s hard drive. If you downloaded the IPA package in ZIP format, uncompress the ZIP archive to access the files.

How would someone install an iPhone app (.IPA) on an iPhone without a Mac or the use of iTunes? Also, if this wasn't already difficult enough, I don't have access to the iPhone. I can get the app to the person whom will be testing the app but I have no access to the device it will be installed on or a Mac to distribute the application.

Easiest way is to use a platform like HockeyApp. Create an account (10 apps are free), upload it and tell the link.

For iPhone,you must have that device's UDID,and you have to create provisioning profile and certificate and add that UDID in the certificate and after that you will install the application in that particular device for testing.

If you don't want to use a mac o iTunes, the best thing you can try is TestFlight.
You send the ipa file to Apple, as you do when you want publish. But, attention: flag the option to release manually the app.
After this, the app isn't released until you do it manually. You can also decide to not publish it anymore and delete it.
Anyway, after you send the app in this way to Apple, you have 90 days to use TestFlight (https://developer.apple.com/testflight/).
TestFlight is a tool giving you the way to install your app on iOS devices without using both a mac or iTunes. You choose the iOS user and he will receive a mail with the step list to install your app (requiriment: install TestFlight on the iOS device).

You can connect to the phone user's computer with Teamviewer and you can download itunes there. After it s just connecting device to the itunes and downloading your .ipa file to the device via it. Dont forget to use iTunes lower version than 12.7.
