After updating to iPadOS 13 I can no longer download apps from HockeyApp since the Safari browser now just downloads the file instead of installing the app.

To re-enable the old behavior and send an iOS user agent to a website, you can enable this workaround per site:

  1. Tap on the "ᴀA" symbol in Safari's URL bar

    Website options popup in Safari on iPadOS

  2. Tap on "Website Settings" and deselect "Request Desktop Website"

Workaround: Go to Settings->Safari->Request Desktop Website and disable All Websites. Then reload the page in hockeyapp and the button will display install instead of download
