> I recall they enabled the ability for anybody to load apps via Xcode around iOS 7

Xcode 7 and iOS 9, and yes, you can still do this.

I do it on iOS 8. Can't recall the Xcode version.

You sure about that? IIRC this came as part of the combined developer program in 2015.

Yup. I side loaded an app yesterday onto my phone running iOS 8.4.1.

Using Xcode 6? You can go back a little bit because Xcode 7 supported the current version of iOS along with iOS 9 beta, but I don't think this goes all the way to iOS 7.
