When I try to install ipa into the iphone using itunes,it stuck on "Installing" and application from iphone disappears suddenly.I have read realated QAs but didn't get any help.I have tried installing ipa after changing my bundle Id ,I have cofigured provision profile correctly still not able to install.I am not getting what is the problem.Please help !
Assuming that you have completed all of the steps setting up an ad hoc provisioning profile as listed here, you should now have an .ipa file exported to disk. Instead of using iTunes, try using Xcode. Goto Xcode > Window > Devices and choose your iPhone. Scroll down to the bottom of the app list and press the + button. Choose your .ipa file and click Open. The app will now be installed to your iPhone. Hope this helped :)
To install your IPA into the iphone, your iPhone UDID should must have listed in the device list of your developer account.
IPA should be made through AdHoc Developer profile Or AdHoc Distribution Profile.
Your Phone should have the same or above as deployment target (i.e IOS Version).
Check these steps and try again, hope you will get success.
Thanks

Hy.
I have developed an IOS app in version 5.1 and xcode 4.5.1. After completing the app when I try to run it in the device using ad hoc distribution, the app is unable to install on device.
It shows popup "Unable to download application. ' could not be downloaded at this time'".
I have added distribution and developer certificate and it does not give any such alert when installing directly from the xcode but the problem occurs only when installing app from the testflight.
Could someone tell me where I m making a mistake.
You must Archive the application using your AdHoc Distribution Cert, then from the Archives tab of the Organizer click Distribute and again select your AdHoc cert. The .ipa that this produces is what must be uploaded to TestFlight and you must authorize your device through TestFlight. Here's some tutorials that will help:
Create and Upload an IPA to TestFlight
Setting up Permissions for Distribution on TestFlight
If your IPA and permissions are all correct then according to this article the error could be related to one of many other factors:
Device storage is full
The provisioning profile is a developer provisioning profile
The ad hoc distribution provisioning profile is corrupted and the device is having an issue with it.
The device was restored from a backup and is causing a conflict for over-the-air distribution
There was a network timeout
See the referenced article for details on how to get a console log on the device. If you still are unable to resolve the issue then edit your question and include the relevant parts of the console log from the device.
Go to Product -> Edit Schema -> Build Configuration
Change Debug to Release and try it.
I changed the version number to a higher version in my iPhone app. When I run the application from XCode, it runs successfully. But When I try putting it on my device from iTunes, installation failed.
Any ideas?
I have gotten this error before. It happened because I signed the build and the IPA with different keys by mistake. You need to be sure the one in your build settings matches the one you use to sign the IPA when you make it from the archive. Also of course they both need to be adhoc certificates,
You need to delete the Profile that is present In settings>General>profiles there delete the profile that belongs to your app also delete the app from the iPhone and download a profile form developer.apple yourAccount then drag and drop on the desktop and double click it and then drag and drop both ipa nad that profile in to the iTunes then sync the app will install now
I have created build file with Development Provisioning , I selected 5 device for that provisioning profile But The Ipa is not installing on client't devices and successfully installed on remaining 4 devices .
Did following things :-
I checked device UDID , it is proper.
Set device restrictions off for installing apps.
Set minimum deployment target to 4.3 and client is having 4.3 ios version iphone
Device is showing "Could not install IPA " and when this alert appears The Ipa file got deselected from iTunes .
Can any one tell be what could be the possible reasons behind this.
Go To iphone Settings-->General--->Profiles-->Click Remove...!
Connect the iphone to mac goto open xcode under menu windows-->organizer-->Tap to Device, find the iphone name and click it's shows use for development button to click and enter itunes connect username and password and Provisioning installing sucessfully..!
Retry to install ipa file...!
Have you send the provisioning profile too, to your customer?
i am sending everytime the provisioning profile with all devices, and also creating the ipa file with that profile.
the customer have to drag and drop the profile and *.ipa file to itunes(doesnt matter if windows or mac).
At first, i have troubles with that, too.
And at the momemt i am using
http://testflightapp.com/ (on the site, everything is explained clearly)
you have to register yourself as developer, upload your binary, sent a invite mail to your customer, he have to register, too. after that his device will be added to your account and you can share updates over the air. he can make updates with testflightapp, if you upload a new binary(he will be notified by mail).
i am not sure if this helps you, but for the future you can still save time and have not check 10 times the profiles.
I have created an ad hoc archive and a .ipa file for the application I am trying to distribute. I have also created a distributing provisioning profile with the UDIDs of the devices that I plan on distributing my application to. When I drag the .ipa and .mobileprovision files into iTunes and try to sync the application to the device, an error message on the phone pops up reading "'myapp' failed to install". By the way, I have a standard iOS developer's license ($99 per year) and am using Xcode version 4.2.1. I am pretty new to the developer program, so please try to keep your answers as simple as possible. Let me know if you need any extra information. Thank you!
I had the exact same issue. My issue was simple to fix. Check your Code Signing Identities for Project & Target in your project Build Settings. Mine were pointing to my Development Profile.
The Code Signing Identities need to point to the Ad hoc Distribution Profile that you created.
Make this change and then recreate the Archive and .ipa file. I then deleted the old App in iTunes, and then dragged the .ipa file onto the iTunes icon (Windows). Then I was able to use iTunes to install the App successfully.
My problem seemed to be Xcode. I had multiple copies of the Ad_Hoc profile with different expirations (all valid) and a few with different names from the days. I deleted them all and the app still failed to install, but I noticed all the Ad_Hoc profiles had been resurrected by iTunes. Tried it several times and including deleting them from the Organizer, but they always resurrected (reappeared installed on the device). Finally I drug out a copy of the supposedly extinct iPhone Configuration utility and used it to delete the app and all Ad_Hoc profiles. Then tried to install just the profile. That got it down to 2. Finally got all deleted and got iTunes to install the right profile. Still took 2 more attempts for iTunes to finally install my archive file!
Check this .
Don't need to drag both .ipa and Provisioning Profile.
Just Drag the .IPA File Follow Further steps as you.
Set install owner param in Xcode project / Deployment to the name you specified in apple dev license. I set both install owner and alternative install owner and Install Group and Alternative Install Group to my name which the 100% exactly as in my apple development license.
And the error was gone.
I was having a similar issue where my project was stored on a secondary NTFS drive. After moving the project over to my desktop [aka MacOS Extended (Journaled) drive], I was able to load the ipa file via itunes.
Another point: If the store version of the app installed on your device (or a version deployed another provision), you have to remove it from your device before installing the ad-hoc version.
I solved the issue by not trying to sync with iTunes but instead to sync it within Xcode (from the window->devices menu)
I developed an app and created a .Ipa file and sync it with my iPad1 but the problem is, I am trying to sync the same app in to my other iPad2 using iTunes.
But it is not syncing and showing an error that the App can't be installed and installation failed!!!.
There are several reasons for failed to instal in device.
1.check your provisioning profile contains device UDID of ipad2 added or not.
2.check your ipa file created properly or not.if you feel you created properly then delete the app from your first device which is having same app and instal the ipa again and check once.Then you come to know your ipa creation is correct.
3.one more reason might have take place is ipa may break accidentally.
you can check these steps:-
Make sure that your iPad2 device ID is added to your provision profile you have created in developer portal.
Make sure that your bundle id in your plist is match with the your provisioning profile bundle ID you have choose to build your project.
Second thing you can check if the provision profile is installed on your device on not.

This is a free program to check an IPA file for errors, there's over 20 reasons why an IPA file will fail to install, many strange combinations in mobileprovisioning and info.plist files.
