I have an Enterprise iPhone app (.ipa file) that could run on iPad in compatibility mode. What app could an enduser use to install the .ipa on iPad - apart from over-the-air?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Just distribute the IPA through mail. End user can copy the app on her iTunes and just do a sync, as with regular App store apps.
There are online tools that simplify this process of sharing, for example https://abbashare.com or https://diawi.com
Create an ipa file from xcode with adhoc or inhouse profile, and upload this file on these site.
I prefer abbashare because save file on your dropbox and you can delete it whenever you want

I done the build for iOS app and want to know where the .ipa executable is created?
I done a small change and want to send the executable to MDM for distribution.
Follow these steps:
Open the project in Xcode
Product - Archive
When the archives are displayed select Distribute app
Select iOS App Store
Export (this will generate the desired ipa file)
The ipa can be uploaded to appstore connect via Application Loader on mac
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.
I have an IPA file generated with XCode with 3 devices embedded in his mobile provision file. I've added 2 additional devices on the mobile provision on apple developer web. Is there any way to install the IPA file on these new devices without regenerating the IPA file on XCode?(or at least, without using a Mac).
The devices has iOS 9.2. It seems with iOS 7 the mobile provision file installs easily, but with 9.2 devices it can't be possible to install the mobile provision file, even with diawi service.
I'm using Standard program Ad-hoc distribution. With this program i can distribute until 100 devices.
There is no possibility to run the app without add the devices to your developer account. You need to add first and then generate another IPA . This is the possibility by my experience. Thanks!
One standard way could be you can upload your IPA file to iTunes connect and Test it using Test flight app (Create internal user for that) the will receive email through which the can install IPA and you will not required to add new device id's hope this will help.
actually I am working on my first app. I use my ipad and my iphone as test devices but I would like to give my apps to my friends so they can test them. When I register their devices is there a way they can download the beta versions of the apps? Or can I only install the app using Xcode with a device directly connected to the mac.
Thanks a lot!
Try testflight (available in itunes connect under pre-release of your application). Works on iOS8+ only.
You can upload your ipa file to http://diawi.com and after successful uploading you will get a link open the link in safari and you will be asked to install the app. Note that to install ipa through Diawi you must create ipa file with provisioning profile and that provisioning profile must contain your device UDID. Hope this helps. :)
I am already testing my iOS app on my iPhone and it works great. My client wants to test my app on his own device but the problem is that he is a resident of different country. Can I send him something like we have "apk" in Android?
Yes, this is possible using the "Ad-hoc".Steps:
Add Your partner's device to the iOS provisioning portal at developer.apple.com
Generate a provisioning profile that includes it for your app.
Build the app using this profile.
Generate an .IPA file using Product->Archive
Send it to your partner that .IPA file.
Many more details available in Apple's guides under "Ad-Hoc" testing.
This is also a good option. testflightapp.com
Yes, you can send him IPA file.
See here:creating ipa for distribution to client
OR
you can refer to this link: How to make .ipa file in Xcode 4.5?
I'd look into services such as TestFlight to make the process of publishing and installing the app on your client's machine. Get your ad hoc provisional profile and archive your build. TestFlight will upload it to their servers and email your client that the build is ready. From there the installation is a snap.
Just send an .IPA File to him he cant see the code using that
