The app can be downloaded and installed on iOS devices without a serial number already. If the app was distributed through the Apple App store as required by Apple's TOS, no serial number would be required either.
The adhoc distribution of the app DJI has employed is only allowed by Apple when beta testing apps. Hence the requirement to enter a serial number to download the App. At the start, DJI tried to do the right thing and make sure that only people testing the Inspire 1 could gain access to the App. Since they were late submitting the final app to the App Store, and Apple hasn't approved the App yet, they decided to leave their Adhoc system in place. I'm not sure what the consequences are for developers that violate the TOS, but I doubt anything bad will happen to DJI for doing this.
This link will allow anyone with an iOS device to download and install the App, even if they don't have a serial number:
