Do you mean you have an app on Mac App Store and want to install it?

Why not give yourself a promo code? I always do it to check my apps.

If your app is already on the app store, then as VinceYuan pointed out you can use a promo code, which would involve installing the app through iTunes.

If you haven't put your app onto the app store yet, then you'll need to use Xcode and the iOS developer site to install the app instead. You have to use the Provisioning Center on the developer site to generate a valid provisioning profile which contains the unique hardware identifier assigned to your iPhone. After you download the provisioning profile, you can synchronize it to your phone using the Xcode organizer. Once you have the provisioning profile on your phone, then you'll be able to build and install your app using Xcode. Just set the target device to your iPhone instead of the simulator, and click the Build and Run button.
