I am running into an issue with universal links and not sure what's going on. I am not using Branch or any third party.
Once i restart the phone, it works. After that for some reason, it stopped working, and I have to restart the phone again.
Not only my phone but also happening on the other phones.
Have any one run into that issue?
Best,
This is a known issue with iOS 11.2. You can refer to this post mentioned in the comments. This is not an issue with the third-party, it is an issue with iOS 11.2 not downloading the AASA file consistently. Branch and other third party services still leverage this AASA file downloading to run their deep linking. I have yet to run into this issue in iOS 11.3, but the radar is still open.

I was trying to install my iphone application from testflight.
It installs perfectly on few devices but in some after installing about 80 percent it gives an error Unable to download application, <my app> could not be installed at this time
I am able to find out the reason for, why is it so?
Here's a screenshot:
clear your cache and cookies in Safari, make sure your device is in provisioning profile and provisioning profile is installed on the device.
If everything mentioned above didn't help, try to create a new build with higher build number and try to distribute your app again
Most common issues that cause this are (from testflight's website):
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
Architecture settings of the build and the device are incompatible ( can sometimes happen -when "Build Active Architecture Only" is on when building).
Not Using Mobile Safari.
for me it turned out that my client's ipad was running iOS 4.2.2 and my project supports 5.0+.
Recently default Xcode project settings set ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH (Build Active Architecture Only) to yes for Debug configuration.
So your build can not be installed on different hardware than the one you use for development.
Change this setting and installation should go fine.
As for Xcode 5.1, the problem was in arm64 architecture in VALID_ARCHS. Building the release configuration for 5.0 device locally gives the following error:
Xcode cannot install or launch applications supporting the 64-bit architecture on devices running iOS versions prior to 6.0. This configuration is supported for distribution through the iOS App Store, but cannot be used during development with Xcode. To continue, edit the Run scheme action and select a build configuration that does not include the 64-bit architecture.
Removing arm64 from VALID_ARCHS solves the issue. In my case I had to create a separate branch for testing on iOS 5 devices.
You can try to publish the application by changing the version of the build.
I was also having the same problem and tried the same by just changing tIt may help you too.
For me Setting Build Active Architecture to NO... works and installed successfully
Watch the console through the Xcode Organiser for the device that is failing to install.
You'll get a helpful message from the system telling you what is wrong. There are lots of potential failure reasons, so unless you check the message, you're just guessing...
Here is what worked for me:
Clear the Cache and Cookies (Settings > Safari).
Remove existing profile (if any) linked to "Test Flight App" (Settings > General > Profiles).
Open Safari and go to https://testflightapp.com/. Login and follow the steps to start over.
P.S. I used to have a Test Flight App, but it looks like it crashed and the icon turned to be all white. Restarting my iPhone made it reappear correctly.
I was also having this problem, with an Ad-Hoc iPad application, when trying
to install it on a iOS 6 device.
What fixed it for me was to click on the project in XCode, and change the
"iOS Deployment Target" setting from 5.1 to 6.0.
And there was silly me thinking that iOS 5.1 apps would run on a iOS 6.0 device.
I just saw this as a result of a network error / time-out on a flaky network. I could see the progress bar increasing after I got the bright idea of just retrying. Also saw HTTP Range requests on the download server with ever increasing offsets of a few megabytes (the entire app was about 44MB).
I had this problem but I fixed this by making sure my Code Signing Identity is the SAME as the one I used in test flight.
After that, everything works fine
This can also happen if you disable cellular data for "App Store" (for example, while on vacation) and forget to turn it back on. The solution here is to simply re-enable it in Settings -> Cellular.
in my case app want to use iCloud services, but in distr. provision profile wasn't set iCloud enabled. turn it on and refresh profile.
I have had the same issue after fiddling around with certificates (argh).
The problem became apparent as I followed the comment of #Duraiamuthan.H, I installed on a device. The device reported 0xe8008016 (Entitlements) see SO here
The initial reason was, that the testflight target used the App store distribution certificate, not the Team certificate. I fixed that and the application was installing on the device over Xcode and then it also worked with testflight.
I had similar issue. However, I was able to fix it when I updated my iPad timings to that of current. I just checked the device log and found that the time in the log was shown 2 years before.
Hope updating the device timing to the current time will fix the issue.
Missing icon could be a problem. My manifest file points to a non-existing image and it fails the installation process. Placing an icon at the corresponding path solved the issue for me.
I ended up creating new Provisioning profiles, not sure if it was because of:
"The ad hoc distribution provisioning profile is corrupted and the device is having an issue with it."
I had the same problem as #mohitum007. In my case the developer of this App included an expiry date in it.
As workaround I set the date backwards to a past date (e.g. last month). Then I could install it and use it.
Also when I set the date back to normal, the already installed App didn't start up anymore. I contacted the company of this App to send me an updated version.
Sidenote: I found out that users from other Apps had the same problem but reversed: it won't install or start before a certain date.
For me, just uninstall the Testflight and restart my iphone. After that, install TestFlight, it works fine !
Check if the deployment target in the General section of the project settings, is greater than that of your device's iOS version.
If yes then you need to update the version of your device to at least the deployment target version. in order for you to be able to install the application on your device.
I'm testing a Trigger.IO app built with Forge v1.4 on an iPod running iOS 6. I've been installing the .ipa through a distribution provision profile.
Occasionally, after installing an updated version, the app would launch but not run correctly. I traced this behaviour to the window.forge being absent, presumably due to a bad initialization. I would then make sure to kill the app process before installing updates and my recollection is that this seemed to make the problem go away.
Now, I've added the Facebook and Splash modules and my app now consistently won't go past the splash screen after I install an upgraded version unless I forcibly uninstall the old version first. Presumably, it dies before creating the webview. Any idea why I would need to uninstall my app first before upgrading? Is this a known behaviour?
I want to make sure that my users don't experience this when upgrading.
My app runs happily without Forge, and doesn't have any particular dependencies on localStorage data. I don't have a Mac and have been installing via iTunes in Windows, so I don't think I can access logging information.
You should have a look at this post:
How application get update from apple store?
The quick answer is when you update an app, you install the new bundle but you keep the user data stored previously such as a local DB. If you changed the local DB in the new app (or anything else) your app can crash when updated but is fine when downloaded from scratch.
I'm testing my in app purchase code for an update to my app. The in app purchase works great when I do an install from xcode to my phone. The issue arises when I have the currently released version installed on my phone then I install the dev version over the top of the release version. When I install in this way my product ID comes back as invalid even though I've tested it many times and it works as long as I didn't have the release version installed previous to installing the dev version.
We did alter our Bundle ID in this update but everything has worked except when we install in the way I described above.
Has anybody encountered this behavior before?
Also the currently released version does not have in app purchases.
This happens all the time.
If you install your development version over the App Store version - new In App Purchases IDs are returned as invalid.
This will work perfectly when you upload the new version to the App Store.
I'm trying to install Zxing on my iphone from source (I know I can get it at the app store, but I want to modify some things in it).
The problem I'm having is that the app won't stay installed on the phone. It will run without a problem, but no icon will appear after I quit the app. I thought it had to do with my manually editing the codesign information in the project.pbxproj but after the developers changed the codesign identity they had left in the checked in version, the problem still persists.
I tried deploying an app I had developed from scratch and that worked fine.
I'm new to this, so any help would be much appreciated. You can download the zxing code from here:
svn checkout http://zxing.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ zxing-read-only
Have you downloaded a copy from the App Store? I had one app (built from Xcode) that wasn't staying around after a sync and I found it was because iTunes was looking at my application syncing preferences and it wasn't selected to sync (as I had the Xcode build version on there, I didn't want to sync that version). However, it presumably removes the built app because I said I didn't want to sync any version of it.
Checking the checkbox to sync the app in iTunes kept the Xcode built version on there without installing the App Store version.
Hope this helps.
I think the problem had to do with my iPhone firmware. It might be a bug from Apple as I got an email from truphone saying that users were experiencing similar problems. I re-installed firmware, and could install it fine, and sync other apps. As soon as I did a restore from a previous backup, it broke again... what a pain. Case closed.
