I try to deploy an app for my company use. So I do Product->Archive, select the good distribution cert/profil. I upload the file on the web, make the link to the manifest.plist to .ipa and then I try to install it on my ipad but ... unable to intall:
UPDATE: I don't want to install it directly on a Ipad, but download it from an url with the ipad and I'm using entreprise developper program and it work if I directly build it for the ipad
Here the ios console Log :
I find strange that in the log after
INVALID >> { 642AFE.... this number is not the same there is in my
ipa filename.
I also find strange to get many plist file (distribution, export ...) .
Here the folder i drop to the server :
Does anyone have some idea ?
thanks by adavance
If you are using the normal developer account then to install the application in device(either directly or from any third party sites) you have to sign the archive file either with development profile of AdHoc distribution profile. Here if you have selected the Appstore distribution certificate and profile then the application will not be able to install in any device.
If the device's UDID is added to the profile(development or AdHoc distribution) then you can install the app directly using Xcode or via an URL.
If you are using the enterprise program and the application is signed with the distribution certificate and profile then the application can be install in any device regardless of the existence of UDID in the profile.
Please check the profile when you are archiving the ipa.
Hope this helps you in some way.

How to create IOS .IPA file and share it, using FREE Apple ID?
How to create ipa in xcode 6 without Apple Developer account?
I don't want to send the app to anybody for testing (not knowing their UUID).
My situation is this
I have the .ipa file. Can generate it using 'xcodebuild' command or by drag&drop the archive's .app file into iTunes
this .ipa is codesigned with my free AppleID
the provisioning profile, generated by XCode contains 3 device UUID
What I'd like to know: why I can't install this .ipa file to the device which UUID is presented in the provisioning profile.
If I try to install it using iTunes it starts to install, but after the progress bar (progress circle to be exact :P) on my device completes, the app icon just disappears and iTunes is stuck in the syncing process. No error message is shown.
I also tried to install it using diawi and got the error message "Unable to Download App". Although it shows me that my device's UUID is in the app's provisioning profile.
No, I believe the free account only allows you to build and install directly on the device with a development build. Also, those builds' provisioning profile expires after 7 days, so the OTA builds wouldn't last very long anyway.
If you want more details of why the install is failing, you should look at the device console during the installation. It will give you more details on the exact reason for the failure.
I have an app ready and I want to test the beta in some external devices. I am using the correct bundle id and in the iTunes connect page I created a certificate , added the devices and then created an ad-hoc provision profile. I opened it on Xcode and then archive the app and export it. I used Diawi and Ubertesters for the app distribution but in both cases I get "Unable to download app". I am missing something ?
Most probably the issue is connected to the device provisioning. Please make sure you've added your device UDID to the provisioning profile and sign your .ipa file with it. Once the newly signed up build is uploaded to Ubertesters, please try to install it on your device.
I am a web developer, my first time using phonegap to build an iOS app.
I have uploaded the required .p12 certificates and provisioning profile but the .ipa refuses to install on any iOS device except for my iPhone (jailbroken).
The certificate and profile are production and distribution level so they are not for specific UDID's.
The only issue I could think of could be related to the app id but I do not know where to specify the app id in phonegap.
Can anyone help?
Below is screenshot where id is specified which is suppose to be unique
But if you app is in production then it would have unique id.
Production and distribution? These are for .ipa files that you are uploading to the App Store, not for testing.
Use a Development profile and to make sure it works try it with and without specifying UDID.
I seen some answers in google but am not getting proper solution.I am trying to install my ipa file in my iphone but it's stuck on INSTALLING.
Am using Xcode 6.1.1 with iOS 8.1
My iphone is 8.1.2 version
My questions are ?
1. Which profile can i use for deploy ipa file into real device Development or distribution.
2. It is necessary to add real device in to member center for installing ipa file.
3. Before click on archive how can i fill my Xcode Code Signing Identity and Provisioning Profile fields.
Which profile can I use for deploy ipa file into real device Development or distribution.
===> both devlopment and distribution could use for deploy ipa file
It is necessary to add real device in to member center for installing ipa file.
===> yes. you must add device udid to profile devices list. follow this link to see how to config provisioning profile
Before click on archive how can i fill my Xcode Code Signing Identity and Provisioning Profile fields.
==> you could follow this link to archive
or you could follow App Distribution Quick Start
Steps to install IPA file on IOS.
Download (https://pangu8.com/sideloadly) Sideloadly.
Now connect your iphone to your PC.
After connecting your iphone to your pc the iDevice should be auto detected.
Now enter your apple account and select IPA by brosing to your pc.
Click on start button.
Enter your apple account password.
You should see the app install in your iphone.
If you see untrusted developer error then go to setting of your phone.
Select device management and click on trust developer.
I have built an iPhone application in Xcode and have generated all of the required certificates and provisioning profiles on Apple's developer website. I have installed the certificates on my computer and the test phone I am using has my OTA distribution profile installed on it.
I have built and exported the application using my distribution profile and certificates and put the xml/plist and ipa files on an SSL secured web server and whenever I try to download the app, it asks if I want to install it and then the installation immediately fails and it tells me the app could not be downloaded. However, I have uploaded the ipa file to Diawi.com and using their website I can install the same app on the phone without any issues.
I do not want to have to rely on a 3rd party service for hosting my application.
Things to check:
Make sure your devices UDID is part of the AdHoc provisioning profile you are using
Make sure you are signing the archive with this profile
Make sure the manifest is correct, all URLs (especially any references to images)
Make sure your web-server is setup to recognize .ipa and .plist as the proper MIME types (this has got me a couple of times)
