I test applications, so I get .ipa files to be downloaded on my iphone via dropbox in order to test them. I download them to my PC then via itunes to my iphone. I am unable to download ipa files, when the installation reaches till the end, I always get the error message "Unable to download the file at this moment" I don't understand the reason. I have tried installing through itunes, through ifunbox, is there any solution to it?
Set proper Provisioning Profile with a valid Developer Account in Apple Developer's Portal
before archiving or making an ipa file.
It might help you.
OR,
may be your DEVICE UDID is not in the Provisioning Profile.
My app is already in itunes and after some changes on the existing app,I created the new app id ,certificates and provisioning profiles and then generated .ipa file using folowing steps...
Go to Product-->Archive
2.Click on Export option.
.ipa file was generated but when opening with itunes it displayed error as...
"The app could not be added to your itunes library because it is not a valid app".
What this error means..??I only want to to generate ipa file using adhoc distribution so that the app can be tested on number of devices .
What should I do..??
My existing app has version and build as 2.1.2 but now I changed to as 2.5,then also its displaying error...
Please help if anyone can.....Thanks
I resolved this issue from the Link:
In order to resolve this issue, do these steps:
Renamed the exported ipa file to .zip and opened her up.
XCode is now putting the .app file inside a folder named "Applications".
Rename this folder to "Payload", zipped it back up, and rename the zip back to .ipa.
Now dragged this new ipa file to iTunes it should works fine this time and can be installed on my phone.
This seems a bug in Xcode in latest Xcode versions.
There is a way to get a dSYM file from the ipa file that is available in App Store?
I've lost my archives that had that dSYM particularly.
Can I do that? I need the dSYM to upload to Crittercism.
Thanks in advance.
Assuming you still have access to the app in iTunes Connect, it's now possible to download the dSYM from iTunes Connect, too. Login, go to My Apps, select your app, then tap on the Activity tab at the top. Tap on the relevant build, and, assuming the app was submitted with symbols in the first place, you should see the option to "Download dSYM."
The file you get is called dSYMs (without an extension) but it is in fact a zip file. Add the .zip extension, unzip, and you'll find your dSYM(s) inside.
(I needed to do this this week since Crashlytics was complaining about a missing dSYM: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35374388/2397068.)
Unfortunately, the dSYM is included within the app archive but not within the .ipa file, so it is not possible to get it from downloading the app from the App Store.
This is for security reasons too- having the dSYM within the .ipa file would mean anyone could download it, potentially making it easier to hack/crack/reverse engineer your app.
If I create .ipa file from Xcode with the correct steps, .ipa file crashes on iPad.
But I use .app file under product folder and drag that app file on iTunes it gets converted into .ipa file then it works fine.
I am not getting a problem why this happens.
Please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
After Sync with iTunes, You can find crash reports on your device at ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/YOUR iPad/, which will give you some informations.
I want to generate the .ipa file for App download. I am executing code in xcode 4.5.2 and after build success, dragging the .app file to itunes folder. But, the drag itself is not happening. My device has IOS 5.1.Do i need to upgrade my device OS to IOS6 or any other reaon is the cause. Can anybody tell me, why this is happening?
For the method to generate .ipa file from .app file
see my answer to this question:
iOS App loader - what file type should be uploaded
As far as I know, you cannot drag an .app file to iTunes. You can drag an .ipa file however.
To create the .ipa file in Xcode:
Run Product / Archive. If successful, it switches to the Organizer window.
Click "Distribute...", select "Save for Enterprise or Ad-Hoc Deployment" and continue the wizard until you're asked to save the .ipa file.
The saved .ipa file can then be dragged to iTunes and synchronized to your device.
For uploading the app to the Apple' App Store, you don't need to explicitly create an .ipa file. You can be directly upload from the Organizer windows using the same "Distribute..." button.
