My company has an enterprise ios account and I am hoping to upload my app on it wirelessly. I have been given distribution certificate and distribution provisioning profile by the client.

I followed this great tutorial here on blog.appliedis.com, which shows how to wirelessly deploy the app with enterprise account.

The problem is that I get this error when install the app on iPad, right at the end when the install is about to finish.

Unable to Download App MyApp could not be installed at this time

My Steps

Here are the steps I took:-

  • Matched the Bundle ID of the app (in plist) with which client's certificate / provisioning profile is created.
  • Clicked/installed Distribution Certificate from the client to my KeyChain
  • Dragged Provisioning profile (Distribution) from the client into XCode
  • In Code Signing, I selected Distribution certificate (sent by the client) in all of them as shown (notice all have same):-

Code Signing Identities

and for Provisioning Profiles, I selected distribution Provisioning profile sent by the client as follows (notice both are same):-

Provisioning profile

  • Xcode > Product > Archive > Save For Enterprise Deployment
  • Specified the title, URL for IPA on my server.
  • Hosted the .ipa, .plist (Both xcode generated) on my Linux server.
  • Created a link as follows:- https://www.myurl.com/myapps/MyApp.plist">Click to Download
  • When clicked, app starts but slaps the error when app downloading is in the mid way.

Additional Info:-

  • The reason why we opted for iOS Enterprise account is that we don't have to enter UDIDs. So the iPad in which this app is being installed doesn't have its UDID in the client's account.

Below is my Console Log (Just in case)

There are a couple of potential'gotchas' that you should check. An obvious one, for iOS 7.1 + is that the download html and manifest .plist have to be on an https server. Another is that, even if they are, that server must be correctly handling the MIME type for .ipa files. I think that there's no problem generally with Apache servers. Microsoft servers aren't natively set up for this so they have to be 'tuned' by their administrators to see '.ipa' as "application/octet-stream."

I was facing similar issue with my distribution license, and the problem was there was "XC" provisioning profile which had the exact same bundle id.

My solution to his was to delete this XC: provisioning profile both from Apple Developer Portal and Xcode -> Preferences -> Apple ID -> View Details -> XC: provisioning profile -> right click Go To Finder -> delete

Hope this helps,
