Are you trying to distribute your application with In House or Ad Hoc Certificate ? If you don't know the difference, you can see this article to understand better how you can distribute your apps.
Your problem seem to be a known problem : articles on techplex, techiehq...
If you are using Ad Hoc certificates, you should have provisioned UDIDs of authorized devices in your Provisioning Profil. Are you sure you have provisioned your iPad with 5.1.1 in this profile ?
If you are using In House certificates, you are not the one to have this problem. It seems to be a problem with iOS 5.1.1. Some possibilites are :
you are using 3G and not Wifi, and there is a problem during download.
you are updating your application, and it does not work.
you have an iOS 5.1.1 bug
I am working on this. You can create a free account, and try to distribute your application to your devices with this service. You will access to informations such as the kind of certificate you use, which devices are referenced.
Please give me more informations :
In House or Ad Hoc certificates ?
Does the error appears during the download (progress bar under 2/3) ?
Do you try to install your app with Wifi or 3G ?

I know you can develop an IOS app and give it to registered devices for testing through Ad Hoc. Testers can physically install the app on their device with xcode or iTunes. Maco OS Catalina 10.15.x doesn't support iTunes as they decided more apps are simpler than one.
So if a tester doesn't have xcode, what do they use to deploy the app on their device for testing?
It looks like the app I was looking for is "Apple Configurator 2". It is the iTunes replacement for managing devices and installing apps physically.
Quick instructions:
1 Open Apple Configurator 2 and plug in IOS device
2 Select the device
3 in the top menu select the "+" (Add) option
4 Select Apps > Choose from my Mac...
5 Find the .ipa file for your test app

Sorry, before I posted the question I was apparently looking at every recently outdated tutorial / help forum except the actual documentation.
So if a tester doesn't have xcode, what do they use to deploy the app on their device for testing?
The Finder.
I need to install a prototype app on 50 iPads, for a real time test with 50 users. It is not on the AppStore. The app is developed using most recent XCode, Swift, and a valid ad-hoc provisioning profile and development certificate. I can not create an enterprise account (too expensive), and would like to use an ad-hoc provisioning profile.
I have been able to create an "archive" (.ipa file), with following setup : built using "Generic iOS device", compatible with all kinds of devices. This is an universal app.
People who prepare the iPads using Apple Configurator can install the app, but the icon disappears immediately. I have sent them my provisioning profiles, but they say it is not working. Maybe I did not send the correct one ? Shall I declare all the devices UDID on my Apple Dev Account - that is my idea, but a bit difficult - ?
Anybody has an idea ? Maybe this is simply not possible. Please help.
One way is to use TestFlight. In this case you shouldn't declare devices UDID.
Another way - install via .ipa. In this case you must declare all the devices UDID in your Apple Dev Account. Rebuild! your app only after added all devices. After this, upload your .ipa to https://www.diawi.com and share received link (for ex. by Skype), that users should to open on their devices and install app.
As the title states, I have been developing and testing an app for Iphone. I have got it to install to an iphone via it being plugged into the Mac. But, I would like to get the app place it on my webserver then via a website allow someone to download and install the app. I tried following various tutorials, but as shown below after archiving the app, the export and other buttons are greyed out. Have also made sure 'Generic iOS devices' selected. What could be causing this ?
You have to use Apple TestFlight or use a third party service to allow your beta to be distributed for testing. One good service is HockeyApp, which I am using currently and it is very cheap $10/month.
Without having the UDID of your client, you simply can't!
What is causing this may be that you are not enrolled in the correct Apple developer program.
A stock iOS device will only install an app from a link on a website if the app is signed by certificate from an Enterprise Developer program enrollment (or Ad Hoc provisioned). The Enterprise distribution method is only allowed to employees of the enrolled corporation.
Ad Hoc deployment to devices registered to your enrolled Developer account is also supported by stock iOS devices.
One other possibility is to put a link to your entire Xcode project on your website, with instructions on how anyone with a Mac and Xcode can build your app and then run it on on their device.
This is my first app and its ready to be deployed on devices. going through apple's 100 or 150 page "App Distribution Guide" is plain daunting. I'm using xcode 5 and iOS sdk 7.0 and I signed up for ios developer membership. is there any any web page giving a walk through of deploying it? how to create icons, how many and how to specify them in app etc. appreciate that.
I ran into testflight but they are no longer accepting new signups.
You can simply prepare AdHoc builds which your beta-testers can install on their devices via iTunes. Actually, UDIDs of their devices must be in corresponding provisioning profile which you use to create this builds.
Previously, I've been able to push my apps to my iPad from Xcode 4.2. I was building with Phonegap. The process is: register my App ID with the dev center, create a provision profile, and download it into my Xcode. Then from the drop down beside the play button in Xcode, I will see iPad as an option.
Now I'm building an iPhone app with Objective-C for the first time. I repeated the process above, but I don't see my iPad listed beside the play button. What is wrong?
Some ideas: i don't think my iPad has iOS 5. i think it still might be running iOS 4.x. Is that a possible reason?
If possible,
Update everything to the latest version (Mac, Xcode, iPad, etc.)
Provision a Device
If you are a team administrator, or if your team administrator has already configured the necessary credentials for you and your device, you can use the devices organizer to automatically download and apply the provisioning profile.
Alleviate the need to go to the iOS Provisioning Portal every time you want to add a device to your provisioning profile by using automatic provisioning.
To provision a device automatically for development . . .
Open the devices organizer.
Plug in your device.
Select the device, and click Use for Development.
Developing apps requires a provisioned device. The provisioning process sets up the required certificates and configuration data that Xcode needs to install your apps on your device.

It’s OK to support only the newest version of the OS.
