Keep an iOS provisioning profile app from expiring

I have developed an iPad app very specific to my needs, it is tailored just for me and therefore isn't applicable to be submitted to the app store. Every few months I can't get into my app because the provisioning profile has expired.

Is there an easy way (besides jailbreaking the device, or submitted it to Apple) that I can use the app in开发者_JAVA技巧definitely without having to generate a new provisioning profile every few months?

Ad Hoc profiles seem to have a long lifetime. So instead using a Dev Profile, an Ad Hoc profile might serve your needs better. My latest Ad Hoc profile created in May expires together with my current certificate next year.

Nope. Provisioning is working exactly as it's designed to work in this case.
