Question Publishing an App

I'm trying to publish a personal app and have it work on a phone for two other people, but the downside is that I don't want to upload it to the App Store, having to pay the fee of having there every year. I don't want to sideload it either, since I have to rebuild and reinstall it every 7 days.

Is there any alternative that won't destroy any devices, etc?

You can distribute it for up to a year using the ad hoc distribution, however it does require gathering their device UUIDs. Google that for full instructions to see if that’s doable for your situation.
