I got to know how to OTA checking the new version , downloading the file.
I am queries about to know, how OTA is working after downloading the OTA firmware in device(indetail) level.
I have check in google and I got overall how OTA working in top level.But I could not find in-depth.
If you have any links or documents please share to me.
Thanks in advance.
There is a some description of the OTA upgrade process available in the
SystemUpdaterSample README.md file. You might have to look at the source codeof that sample app for further details.

I am wandering if it is possible to build a developer build in a file which can be downloaded from a/my server by my test users. As it is now I have to connect each device to my computer and build to it?
I have seen when building a phonegap build for iOS in Dreamveawer it generates a file I can install on my iPhone using a QR code?
Hoping for help and thanks in advance!
It is possible to do so but I'd suggest using the free and excellent TestFlightApp to manage distributing your developer builds.
If you do want to distribute an ad-hoc build on your own, then follow these instructions.
You can archive your app and save it for Ad-Hoc distribution.
Ad-Hoc distribution enables you to distribute your app through an HTML page, it means that clients could install the app using their iOS Safari.

I don't have a device but my manager ask to upload a build on testflightapp Is there anyway so that I can create IPA and upload my build without having real device?
thanks
Yes.. you can do that..but you will need a developer account to deploy apps for Ad-hoc or App store Distribution ..
Edit : To upload the build ...just Archive the app with the provisioning profile..and upload the ipa to testfilght.
If you click on "Upload build" in TestFlight there's a link to a help page which answers your question: http://help.testflightapp.com/customer/portal/articles/402782-how-to-create-an-ipa-xcode-4
Otherwise, for the first part of the tutorial, if you're in an Xcode version in which you don't have the Entitlements option, you can safely skip that part of the tutorial.
off-course you can do that, make your adhoc certificate then follow the procedure mentioned in your developer account. For uploading on testflight build the binary and put in Payload folder and then compress that folder and rename that compress file to appName.ipaIf you have any query I will be happy to help.
Have a look at this from Apple. It should explain everything you need to know about code signing, certificates and making the IPA file for Ad Hoc distribution.
I want to update my Xcode with iOS 5 SDK. I have a snow leopard macbook. I have download the sdk file from the Apple link using my active and correct Apple registered login credentials.
https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/xcode_4.2_with_ios_5_sdk/xcode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_for_snow_leopard.dmg
Its downloading a 1.64 GB .dmg file finally. But, every time when i tried to installed, it says, "The following disk image couldn't be opened, ode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_for_snow_leopard.dmg not recognized"
I tried more than 10 times, all the times it is same. I'm using my very active and proper Apple registered account.
Looks like there are many people facing the same issue recently.
How can i update my SDK to 5.0? Please share your ideas and give me if you find any direct SDK links from somewhere else?
Thank you!
1.64GB seems pretty little... I think it should be around 4GB... your download must have got broken, unfortunately...
It seems to me that you have a corrupt file. The download must have failed. Try to download using a download manager like iGetter.
Using my own account I found the following link:
http://adcdownload.apple.com//Developer_Tools/xcode_4.2_with_ios_5_sdk/xcode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_for_snow_leopard.dmg
See if that works better.
I am trying to configure iPad for testing and and following steps to make device ready for this. while in the way I am following this error as you can see in the Pic
"Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version"
Actually I attached the device with xCode and it started some installation after that it showed this error.
in ios program developer guide I read this line
Download the iOS Disk Image (.dmg) from the iOS Dev Center for the Apple device you are using.
is it due to this? please help
Looks like the device is already set up for development. You don't need to restore your iPad to continue.
Do you have a valid provisioning profile set up?
I just answered a similar question over here. The particular message "Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version" ...is generally not the issue. A number of other things can prevent the app running from Xcode

This isn't how iOS apps are installed. They are installed via the App Store on the device or via syncing with iTunes.
You cannot install an iOS app over the air in the simulator or on the device.
with the iOS 4.0 update it's possible to install the beta versionsof apps OTA to devices.. the varios options available to you are here http://www.readwriteweb.com/mobile/2011/01/7-tools-for-ota-ios-beta-testing.php
You can do this with iOS 4. All that is required is a manifest XML file, and a signed IPA file. You can read all you need to know about this here:
