I downloaded an.ipa of "xyz" app from iTunes say HSBC.ipa(I do not own this application).
Can I install this application on the device through OTA or the applications downloaded from iTunes have to be installed via iTunes itself?
Thanks
It depends on the code signing of the ipa. If it is signed for adhoc deployment (or for enterprise), and your device is included, you will be able to install it. However, if it was signed for the App Store you will not be able to install it via OTA.

I uploaded this ipa file on the website https://www.diawi.com/
I tried to install on the phone but it respond "Ongame could not be installed at this time."
I tried to sign again but still failed.
Please guide me to edit this ipa file so I can install it on my iphone.

I have used this website https://www.diawi.com/ to share ipa file.
To share your app ipa file via this website you have to follow these steps:
First add devices(iPhone where you will try to install your app) UDID to your Apple developer account.
Then add these devices into your app Development Provisioning Profiles.
Now generate and download these profiles.
Use these profiles to create Development ipa file.
Upload this ipa to https://www.diawi.com/ and share the genearted link with those people whose device UDID you have added in Provisioning profile.
Note: Person who is trying to install may have to trust your provisioning profile in his/her device.
You can also checkout Diawi knowledge base Can't install an app on a device? Things to check
I hope this will solve your problem.
You are not allowed to make any changes with the ipa file, you have to rebuild and create a separate ipa with the updated provisioning profile.
I have hired an iphone developer overseas to develop and iphone app for me. The dev sent me the IPA. I tried installing it using iFunBox and even using IPA installer and it keeps failing. I even tried iTunes and it kept failing. I tried it on both jailbroken and none-jailbroken devices
The developer is telling me that he can see it on it has to go on the developer account and he is requesting the dev account credential
My questions are:
1- Why do you think the IPA is not getting installed properly (I was able to install different apps IPA so I know my installers work!).
2- Is giving the dev account credential the norm? I come from android development and for us, you give a signed APK with the user keystore and your are done!
Please assist
Thank you
Simply do the steps :
create a (.csr) certification signing request file from ur mac (keychain access) and create developer's certificate from member's portal apple.
2.add your device uuid .
3.Create Provisioning Profile adding that device .
4.download that provisioning profile and send the cert and provisioning to the dev , and tell him to double tap both .
[OR]
-- Use teamViewer and sign in to ur developer's XCODE with ur app id ...
-- Go to Xcode preferences and select account and refresh .
-- select the provisioning profile and cert from build settings and build the project with that provisionings ..
Use that ipa to install and it wont deny ..
make comment if you're having problem ...
I have the following problem - I am trying to install ad hoc .ipa file on my iPad 2, model MC979HC/A with iOS version 6.1.3. But when I try to install the app via iPhone Configuration Utility or iTunes it says: "An unknown error message 'Install Prohibited', was received from the device."
My app was created by using Xcode 4.6.1. I installed the same app on iPad 2 with iOS version 6.0.
What is the problem, because I can't find any solution on the internet? I guess it can be something with the version of Xcode and iOS. I also have to mention that in my iPad 2 General Settings, Restrictions are disabled. But if I enable the restrictions, the option "INSTALLING APPS" is set to OFF and it is not active, so I can't really change it. How to activate this option?
You may have already installed with other app in your iphone with same Provisioning profile. Please uninstall the app with same provisioning profile which you installed previously and install again a clean build.
How can I install ipa/deb files on an iPhone device directly without user interference i.e. user should not use any terminal or third party tool like Cyberduck/iExplorer to install the file? The entire process should be automated. Exactly the same as Cydia does.
If the device is jail broken, no provisional profile is required to install the application. You can directly install .ipa file into jail broken device.
If the device is not jail broken, you can install the .ipa file without provisional profile, if it is created with Enterprise Distribution certificate and in-House type provisional profile.
For rest of the distribution mode, you will require .ipa file and provisional profile having your device UDID linked to it.
I am installing on ipad app using adhoc distribution. When i build that using simulator and load that file .app in ipad it does not install says not signed. But when i debug using device again not installing
I think you don't sign your app properly. following link helps you for creating provision profile properly.

and for installing app over device.
The application and a provisioning profile. You need to install both files into iTunes to be able run the application on your device.
After opening the archive:
Drag the provisioning profile (the file with the .mobileprovision extension) to the iTunes Library group.
Drag the application (the file with the .app extension) to the iTunes Library group.
The application appears in the Applications list.
Sync your device.
If the version of iPhone OS on your device is earlier than the test application can run on, you need to update your device with the current release of iPhone OS.
