In simultaor ,is it possible to download the app form any site?
Thanks
SKtest
Yes it's possible to get an app from a website. Make sure you have your mds proxy running then open the app url in the simulator web browser. This will usually be to a .jad file.

I am working on an app where I deploy the .ipa file and manifest.plist on my server and from there I try to install the app to my iphone.
The app is initially installed but I need to check if a latest version is available on the server. I have done this part and now wish to install the latest .ipa from the server directly to my phone without redirecting user to the html page of the server
Found some links on stack overflow, especially this:
Download and install an ipa from url on iOS
I have done this:
let endPointURL = NSURL(string: "itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=myUrlString")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(endPointURL!)
I get unsupported URL exception. Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this? Is there any other way to directly start installing the upgrade without navigating to the actual html page?
It's just for testing purpose. Only registered devices are allowed to do this.
Only single way is there to download your app and its app store. You can give app store link and it will redirect user to appstore.
And if you want to test just use test flight it's easiest way.
Your linked question also tells that. Just for testing purpose it's possible now.
I found this same issue before.
A workaround for this is to new up a webview (you can hide it if you wish) and then give the request to the webview to perform. When the request loads you will then be shown the popup asking if you wish to download the app.
I am trying to figure out the URL name for MobileIron Web#Work in order to launch it from another app. For most apps you can type in "appname://" in safari and it will prompt to launch the application. For example, typing in "googlechrome://" in safari will prompt to launch in "Chrome".
I can't seem to figure out what the url name is for the MobileIron Web#Work app. Please help.
Thanks.
You could use "mibrowser://" and "mibrowsers://" schemes to open HTTP and HTTPS links respectively in iOS W#W. And you could use "mibrowserf://" and "mibrowsersf://" schemes to open HTTP and HTTPS links in iOS W#W in a full screen mode.
Please try this one: "appconnect://"
I was able to figure it out using mibrowser://.
I am currently developing an iOS application for iPhone and iPad and i need to manually install the application without the need for xcode.
Is any way to install the custom application manually like the way i do with android. For example to copy the package to the phone and install it?
The idea is to update the application after every bug fix without the need of xcode because the client does not have a mac.
Thanks!
If I understand your question, then my answer will help you.
As your client doesn't having mac and assuming that you have created a build of app u want to install with valid distribution certificate.
Just upload your build here - http://www.diawi.com (You can upload provisioning profile too)
It will give you a link. just send that link to your client and let hih/her open that link in iDevice's safari browser. Then simply hit install button to install app.
Use TestFlight.
EDIT: If you want to client to know update about app, then I will suggest to go for TestFlight as you can mention the version and also can add comment about each build updated there and client can read it by logging in that app from it's device.
Easy way, Make its .ipa file upload it on here - http://www.diawi.com, it will give yoy url, this url give yor client and open it on safari, your application will install in client iphone without Xcode.
They can do it via iTunes or iPhone Configuration Utility. Refer the link
I am trying to detect if my ipad app is installed on a device when visiting my website, in order to suggest different action to the visitor.
Thanks to this post :

I found that the "store" application on iphone seems to have achieve to detect if the app is installed on the device. When you click on store links, it launch the app instead of going to the mobile web version.
For example, if you go to :
http://store.apple.com/xc/anythinghere
with an iphone on which apple store app is installed ( http://itunes.apple.com/app/id375380948 )
it automatically start the store app, instead of the web page.
I tried to follow the stack call with mitmproxy but safari doesn't seems to ask query before launching the app.
So, I guess they did custom url scheme recognition, with http:// links.
Do you think it is possible?
This is done with URL protocol handlers:
http://www.iphonedevfaq.com/index.php?title=URL_schemes#URL_Protocol_Handlers
You cannot detect if an app is installed from HTML, but you can launch an app. For example, the popular game "Doodle Jump" can be launched by going to doodlejump://, but if you don't have it installed, the link won't work. As mentioned, this is done with a custom URL scheme and needs to be coded into your app.
I'm new to mobile development and I've compiled my app through the online PhoneGap Build.
It returns me the links to download all the apps, but the BlackBerry
link doesn't work properly, even if phonegap doesn't return me
any sort of error.
The link is only a single jad file. There are no .jar or .cod files,
and if I try to install it on a blackberry, I can't.
What am I doing wrong?
I don't know much about BlackBerry apps, so maybe I miss something.
Thanks in advance
on your desktop computer, go to https://build.phonegap.com/apps, and click the name of your app (not the d/l links)
it will show a list of qr codes, one for each platform
on your blackberry, open App World, menu, scan a barcode, then scan the qr code and it will download it like a normal app
That same issue would occasionally happen to me as well. I resolved it each time by deleting the app in PhoneGap Build and then resubmitting it and then waiting for the build notification to be shown instead of continually hitting refresh in the browser. It's not scientific but it's what resolved the issue the last 2 times for myself.
