I have an in-house app which I distribute over a local wifi

in release page have a link like this

itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://192.168.1.231/app/plist/houseApp/out.plist

this worked on iOS 7 Safari

but when i add this page to main screen (like web app)

the same link didn't work, and apache access.log have no record about /app/plist/houseApp/out.plist

this worked in iOS 6

Anybody knows about this?

On the 7.1 update all software installation services are forced to use the HTTPS protocol, also covering non-standard itms-services:// URLs.

You need to change the protocol type:

It seems Apple have disabled all URL schemas in iOS7 (including mailto: links) in standalone webapps. This has seriously implications for my place of work.

This worked for me in iOS 8.0. Simply use https for URLs.
