Ad hoc OTA deployment working on all ipads except iPad 3 with IOS 6

Question

I am running into a weird issue for my Company. I have setup a build for my ipad app that is built with an AD hoc profile. I followed all the directions on how to set this up and is working correctly with the provision profile and the app for 5 other ipads. What i have noticed is that for some reason its not working on iPad 3 with IOS6. Here is the error i get in the console when trying:

The cert does have those ipad UUID's listed so its not that issue. I have ran out of ideas on what could be the issue. Any ideas? I have talked to a few others and said they have noticed the issue on the latest ipads also but have no idea. Any one else running into this issue?

Much Appreciated!

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I'm having the same problem. — Farhan Ahmad, Nov 01 '12 at 17:46
Im doing this on the simulator. I have tried reseting the simulator but still having the same issue? — Farhan Ahmad, Nov 01 '12 at 18:28
@ScootaP No. And the weird part is that is works fine on iOS 5. Just complains on iOS 6. — Farhan Ahmad, Nov 01 '12 at 18:42

I figured the answer out. It was as simple as my wifi setup on my ipad had our corporate proxy server defined. Because of this websense was blocking downloading of .ipa file. So if i took that same URL and put it on a desktop browser i could see it was getting blocked. Switching off the proxy fixed the issue!

I had something similar, though no VPN, just a plain Wi-Fi setup. iPhone4, iPhone5 and iPad2 all running iOS6 can install OTA with no issues. At the same time, iPhone4S and iPad1 running iOS5 fail to install the app OTA. Normal installation via iTunes sync works fine for all devices. It's obviously an issue with OS version, but I have no idea where to look for next. Is it in the build settings for the app or something related to server config (IIS in this case)...
