I been distributed with myapp.app.dSYM and myapp.mobileprovision files, is it possible to install the app on device using these two files using iTunes? if yes. please mention how?
Note : I tried to drag and drop myapp.app.dSYM and myapp.mobileprovision on iTunes, only myapp.mobileprovision is installed on device (Settings>General>Profiles) but myapp.app.dSYM is not getting listed in the Sync apps in iTunes.
To make installable ad-hoc package you should Archive your project, then select archive in Organizer and press Distribute button, then select "Save for Enterprise or Ad-Hoc Deployment", sign it and you'll get ipa file. Drag this ipa file to iTunes library and sync with your device to install it.
p.s. dSYM file it's just debugger information to symbolicate crashlogs.

I would like to install an iOS7 iPhone app through an Windows iTunes. Following the App Distribution Guide I prepared the .ipa file. But the guide describes the installation on an iTunes running on a Mac only but not for Windows.
What do I need to do to get the app installed on a test device connected to an Windows iTunes?
Thanks
Open the windows explorer in the folder where your .ipa is. Open side by side iTunes. After that, drag & drop the .ipa file from the explorer window to the itunes sidebar where you have the music/apps/etc
Doing this, you are adding the ipa to the iTunes Library. After that, you just need to go to the itunes section of your devide, and select you App (the ipa) to install.
I've been reading and working through https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/YourFirstAppStoreSubmission/TestYourApponManyDevicesandiOSVersions/TestYourApponManyDevicesandiOSVersions.html, right up until the point where it says to drag the *.mobileprovision to iTunes, and it says, "Double-click the app archive (the file with the .ipa extension)."
I am presently unable to find a program of my own having a file with a .ipa extension, and therefore unable AFAICT to run my app on an iOS device yet.
The documentation I was reading is legacy documentation, but I didn't notice a link to anything newer.
I have several things in place now, including a Testing_.*mobileprovision dragged into iTunes, but I am having trouble identifying the last step(s) to get my app to run on my machine.
What can I do next to get the app to run on my machine?
Thank you,
You have to export the app using Xcode Organizer, Archives, Distribute, Save for Enterprise or Ad Hoc Depoloyment. Sign it with your Ad hoc profile. Then you will have an ipa to install.
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 have an old version of Xcode so have been unable to create an .ipa file. I also only have leopard installed as the company I work for does not wish to purchase an upgrade so close to a new version being released.
The issue I am having is that when I drag the .mobileprovision file into iTunes that seems to be ok and it does ask if I wish to replace it. When I drag the .app file into iTunes it states 'An provisioning profile named "embedded.mobileprovision" already exists on this computer. Do you wish to replace it?'. If I click Yes then nothing happens.
I had this working on an old iTunes version this morning then updated as a client was having issues importing the .app file. Are all ad hoc distributions done with .ipa files now?
Basic steps I have been following:
2) Unzip the contents of “Sample.zip”
3) On Mac you will have two files, on PC you will have one file and one folder. These will be called “Sample.app” and “XXXX.mobileprovision”. The XXXX refers to whatever name the developer chose for their Adhoc profile (I use Andrews_Adhoc_DP).
4) Open iTunes.
5) Select both “Sample.app” and XXXX.mobileprovision and drag them to the Library panel
6) In your Applications pane you should now see the application which can be synced with your phone.
tldr; Can ad hoc installations still be done with a .mobileprovision file and a .app folder?
Many thanks!
Note to self and anyone who has the same issue:
In the info.plist file "Application requires iPhone environment" should be set to true. (got unticked for some reason)
Thank you
I learned a lot from this site
I have a question
I finished the application is running
webview
But I remain one step keeping the program
And send it to the iPhone to try it on two ipa
I want to save formulas ipa
Thank you
You can't just save an app as an IPA. Only if you submit it to the app store with a proper developer's license will they then distribute it in the store in that format
Running "Build and Archive" from the Build menu in Xcode will create an ipa file.
Stepwise Procedure to create an IPA file,
1.First of all,choose your device as IOS Device in Scheme near Breakpoint tab in Xcode.
2.In Xcode menu,Product->Clean and build your application.
3.If the provisioning certificate is not valid,it will lead to build failed with an error.If so you have to change it to a valid certificate through your project->build settings.Else if build succeeded just leave this step.
4.Then select Product->archive,it will create an archive file in Organiser->archives and open it up for you after archive finished.
5.choose share tab in Organiser followed by contents->.ipa and Identity->choose your valid distribution certificate and click next.
6.within a minute it will ask name for your IPA file to save.Give a name and save it in Desktop.
7.Open iTunes and drag and drop your IPA file in Library->Apps.
8.Now connect and select your Device in itunes->choose apps tab under it and sync your app ipa to the Device.It will install your IPA file to the device.
9.Thats all.Now you can run your App IPA file in your device.
