I am developing mobile application for iPad using Flex/Air.
While I am debugging the application using the Flash Builder Emulator, everything seems to be alright. However when I export a release, using a developer certificate and exporting it as "Ad hoc package for limited distribution" and try to install the release on a device which is registered to use this app, the installer returns error: " cannot be installed".
I was searching for an answer for 3 days, but I couldn't find the problem.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

There could be many reasons, probably down to the Apple certificates or provisioning profiles.
Try exporting using your Apple Distribution certificate rather than your Developer certificate.
If that doesn't work I would suggest deleting/revoking all certificates and profiles and start from scratch. Nowadays this should take less that 30 minutes to complete.

Have you tried building it for Android and installing it on a device? It might be that there is a problem with the installation. At least this will show you if the problem is the installation.

There is issue in my any swift application(Even there is nothing done in application) as I tried to install the application using distribution certificate and profile it is always crashing but if I am using development certificate and profile then it is working fine.
Also if I am using some other Mac system and use same certificates of distribution then it works well. Moreover Build size from my system is lesser than the build size than any other system build size.
I had tried all the suggestions related to this issues and changing settings or certificates but nothing helped me in this case.
Please suggest if you had faced similar issue or anyone you know.
Thanks In Advance
With Distribution certificate and profile app will not install from Xcode. You need to use only development certificates and profile for install app from Xcode to device. If you want to test with distribution certificate your app you can use test flight or iTune. Check below link for understanding -

Afternoon all,
We have a client who recently came via our offices and installed a development version of an app we have been working on for a trip to the States to show his colleagues.
He has just gone to test it and is getting the message that '"App Name" is no longer available"' when he tries to open it. We have tested our development devices and the same build of the app here and everything is working fine.
Is there anything we can try as he does not have access to Xcode for a fresh install of the app?
We have checked the developer certs and provisioning profiles and all seem ok and in date.
Thanks a lot.
If you gave it to them via ad hoc or something, the provisioning profile has probably expired so you would need to renew that. This is a similar problem I've met before. For the IPA file providing, you could try to upload your apps to Pgyer or TestFlight and provide the installation link to customer.
I recently updated my organisation developer program so I can use it one more year, but now my apps seem to be impossible to install, I got this famous error :
app_name can't be installed at this time
I got this problem on the App Store and for Ad Hoc distribution as well.
My certificates and my provisioning profiles are fine.
Did someone have the same issue recently ?
What could it be ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
I believe you may have changed your app build settings and are likely not building with the enterprise distribution profile. That error usually means you are building with a regular development provisioning profile and the device's UDID is not in the list.
Verify your app's build settings are set to build using the Enterprise Distribution Profile.
If you do not believe that to be the case, post the Console logs from the device during an install attempt to find the actual error.
I finally found where the problem came from and it is a bit stupid. Actually, someone in my team recently changed our certificate on the Apple member center but didn't add this certificate to our build server.
After adding the certificate to the build server, everything worked as expected.
I have a problem installing my app using iTunes on windows. On mac works fine but on windows the installation goes almost by the end and then an error appears "Failed to install".
I am using the same provisioning profile on the device as the one that I am using to build the project.
Does anybody know why is this happening?
Device used: iPad 2 - OS 6.0
Any information would be appreciated, thank you!
I had similar problems when deploying my app to testers. Sometimes, the installation over iTunes just fails even though both the .ipa and provisioning profiles are made correctly.
So we decided to switch to over-the-air deployment with Testflight and everything worked fine. Its easy to set up, free and it solves a lot of headaches for iOS testing.
Check the console log while doing the install - usually it shows much more details on these occasions.
If you are using right provisioning profile and want to install ad-hoc build from windows, apple provides iPhone configuration utility that will enable you to install it on the desired device here is the download link
I have developed an app in the in-house, enterprise mode. While testing i was using the iPad provided to me by my company. I tested on it. I had certificates from developer member center. Tested just fine.
Now I have deployed the files on our secure server.I have a link where the ".ipa" files are present. So i used my same testing iPad and downloaded the app from that link via safari on the iPad. It installed and ran successfully. Now i gave that link to another member of my team and he has his own iPad. When he clicks that link it starts installing but it doesn't finish.He gets an error.The error he gets is
"Unable to download Application.XYZ app could not be installed at this time. Done .Retry."
Same thing with another iPad. These iPads are NOT registered under testing on member center. So i have a thought. Since while testing i had certificates and all on my testing iPad, it might have recognized it and installed it.But the other completely new iPads are not identified. So how do i do it?How can i say my app that it is safe to install on so-so iPad that belongs to my co-worker. If i am not clear please ask.Thanks.
bobnoble is correct. You need to have an Enterprise Distribution certificate to use with this. Development certs are similar to ad-hoc certs in that you need to individual identify the device UDID's that will be used.
We do a lot of work with enterprise customers and I never use the development certs, mainly just to cut down on the confusion. It might be a problem if one of our devs goes rouge :), but it is a chance we are willing to take.
In xcode you can select the Project or the Targets when assigning the provided profiles.
Make sure you sign the target.
There is a nice tutorial on the testflight site:

You are getting confused between a Distribution Certificate and an Enterprise Certificate. In your case you should use Enterprise or Adhoc Certificate. Enterprise certificate is not given to a person but organization and it is not created where other certs are created.
