We have iPad and iPhone devices, but short of wires. Is there any way that we can install/debug the builds over Wi-Fi in iOS?

I know the way in Android, but not of iOS.

Now by using Xcode 9 and iOS 11 it is possible to run apps by using Wi-Fi.

Connect the iPhone via USB, go into the device window (Cmd-Shift-2), select your phone, and check the connect via network box.

Pre-Xcode 9 answer:

Over Wi-Fi installing and debugging of applications is not possible in iOS.

But there are some websites where you can upload your builds and then download on device and test it.
