iPhone app installation fails for enterprise distribution - ios

An app downloaded/installed with enterprise distribution worked fine for long time until now, it suddenly stops with the following errors:
<Warning>: Killing xxx.OurApp for app installation
<Error>: 0x2ff99000 handle_install: Install of "/var/mobile/Media/Downloads/-9061050010711031503/-1709014265418617978" requested by itunesstored

The weird part is, if we do a rollback of the website containing a link to a .plist and a .ipa to one that worked yesterday, it doesn't work any more. So the exact same .plist and .ipa that worked yesterday, today gives the error above.
The only think we can think of is that we increased the version number of the app from 1.0 to 1.3 in xcode before archiving (and enterprise distributing). But then we reverted back to 1.0 but nothing changed.
Anyone with similar problems?

Seemed to be some error in the new .plist. The problem was that since it went through half of the installation process it placed an half installed app and a broken profile on the phone. If removing both the profile and then the app, we could install the old app with old (correct) .plist

iOS Installation Error: ApplicationVerificationFailed

I have spent the last 6hrs searching the web for this bugs, I have read and tried many suggested solutions and still couldn't fix my problem. So lets hope someone can point me to the right direction this time.
I am using FDT to build AIR app, I can test it using iOS Simulator, I can package it and deploy to iTuneConnect but I just can't push it to my iPhone so I can test it. I am sure that my mobileprovision is correct (I check it with XCode 5), the app id is correct, and p12 is good also.
Here is the log I get from XCode console:

have you installed previously any application on your device with the same bundle identifier?
it may also can cause the problem.
so you can try :
delete all adHoc apps from your phone.
clean build from Xcode.
double check that if you put correct bundle id and selected correct provisioning profiles.
your device added to provisioning profile? may be you created first provisioning profile, then added device in developer portal. (Recommended that check your device again in developer portal and create again adhoc profile.)
install again

iOS Ad-Hoc Install fails with proper provisions made

I have done this a dozen times successfully and cannot figure out what is wrong for this instance. I created the deployment certificate, added my devices, and then created my ad-hoc profile using the deployment cert and all devices.
I have a website that allows the user to install the profile and app. The app starts to install and gets to where it is almost done and then it just sits there. It fails for all devices with different flavors of iOS on them.
Any ideas what could be wrong? This is the console output where (altered) line 3 is bugging me. I think this is the primary failure point and I am investigating further. It works fine from my desktop.

When I hit ad-hoc distribution errors, I have a couple troubleshooting steps to try to narrow it down.
Can you install just the provisioning profile? You should have either a developer or a distribution profile (depending, often times I install both to be sure).
Can you install the app via the iPhone Configuration Utility?
Answering those two questions will point you in the right direction at least. Good luck!
The app was originally created under a developer's appleID and the published in the Business To Business site. The developer left the company and the company created an appleID to be used for the company's development purposes. (Which is what should have been done to begin with).
The app was then transferred to the company's ID however the transfer didn't work right as it left the AppID under the old developer account so any attempt to use certificates and profiles against either account was doomed to failure while using the original AppID. To do any sort of internal deployment, a different AppID had to be created.
After Apple finally got the app transfer fully complete, all was good and the original AppID could once again be used.

Xcode 4.5 - can't install developer .ipa files via iTunes

I had many times making a developer builds for testing purpose and everything was working fine. Was! After updating my Xcode to version 4.5 I can't install my developer builds via iTunes.
This situation is the same on every device I had in provision profile.
What I have and what I had checked double times with other developers to avoid personal mistake:
1) developer certificate
2) developer provision profile with added right devices
3) right build process
After success build of app me and other developers try to install it via iTunnes (10.7) but only error dialog appears that Synchronisation failed.
The very important info is, that I can build runnable app in xCode 4.2 and install it via iTunnes without any troubles with the same certificate and provision profiles
I can run the app directly on device if I run it via Xcode
Checked all apple's recommendation and I have all right: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2009/tn2242.html
Checked lots of forums with similar issue and I have done many steps trying to reduce this problem starting with revoking ALL certificates, making new developers profiles with particular devices, cleaned tmp folders in Xcode together with build dir. I had delete all certificates, keys from KeyChain and import new ones. Deleted all provision profiles on device and install new one. Clean project, change a build architecture "armv", base SDK - Latest iOS 6.
Many thanks for your responce!!!

The important line is this one:
installd[31] : profile not valid: 0xe8008012
I've seen this error myself with one of our IPAs recently. It was solved by re-issuing the profile from the iOS Provisioning portal (simply make a simple change, undo it, then submit - that should regenerate the profile), updated the Xcode code signing identity to use the new profile, rebooted the device, and then tried again. It then seemed to install fine.
We weren't able to close in on a root cause of the issue, but once we'd gone through those steps we haven't seen it again.

App crashing immediately after start

EDIT: My problem was because the plist file was corrupted . So if you have the same issue, probably is because of something in you plist file.
SO i have this app and everything worked just fine until i updated my device to IOS 6. After that i couldn't install the app on the device . The app worked just fine on IOS 5.0 simulator and IOS 6.0 simulator . When i try to build it for device , the splash screen appears for two second and then the app closes . In Xcode i receive this error :
timed out waiting for app to launch
I searched the web and it said that it is a AdHoc provisioning problem but my provisioning profiles are in order . I even changed the app id and deleted the old provisioning and i got the same error .
In the device console i receive this weird error :
Oct 15 23:48:23 iPad2-3G backboardd[51] <Warning>: Launch Services: Registered unknown app identifier InvoiceAppDev

I don't have any clue what happened . Does anybody has any idea why this happened ?
I saw the same error caused by the accidental entry of the following blank field in app.plist:
+ <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key>
+ <string></string>
I had the exact same symptoms. Believe it or not, I changed my target code signing from distribution to developer and everything worked as expected.
Thanks #nycynik - that solved the problem.
In xcode open the the "Organizer", choose the device (ex. iPhone), select "Application" and delete the previous Version of the
App. Than run again.

Ad Hoc deployment fails when shipping Default.png images

I'm an experiencing an issue where I can't install an Ad Hoc version of my application via TestFlight. The application downloads, but at the installation step it shows something like "YourApp can't be installed", with the following messages appearing on the console:
Sep 17 16:08:24 unknown installd[4767] <Error>: 00381000 verify_signer_identity: Could not copy validate signature: -402620393

codesign --verify doesn't return any errors, and I have double-checked that I'm using the correct Ad Hoc provisioning profile (codesign --display -vvvv confirms this).
However, as soon as I remove all the Default.png images from the application, the install works and the application can be run afterwards. The IPA has a size of about 10 MB without and 15 MB with all Default.png images.
Any ideas?
Have you tried installing the IPA direct to your device via Xcode?
Connect device.
Open Xcode Organizer / Devices Tab / Select your device / Applications.
Click the + (add) button at the bottom left, select your app.
If this install fails as well, I suspect there's something up with your Default.png image. If you are scripting image conversion, it's worth mentioning that I've had lots of issues in the past using the sips command-line utility creating png images that Apple doesn't like, so I've stopped using that. I now use ImageMagick instead and have not had any trouble since.
It appears that upgrading to Xcode 4.5.1 has fixed the issue...
