I want to distribute my application to .ipa file which can be added by itunes to device. And i go to developer.apple.com and then:
Generate Distribution Provisioning Profile, download, install it and use it as "code sign".
Then install Distribution Certificate
Go to my Xcode and select product->archive
Then from Organizer->Archives select my latest copy and select Distribute, select Save For Enterprise or Ad-Hoc and and sign this by my Distribution Provisioning Profile.
Next i add my mobileprovision file to itunes, add ipa to itunes and try to sync.
I'm getting an error 0xE8003FFE
I'm using Xcode 4.3.2
This is not great but it is a solution. I restore my iphone to 4.2.1 iOS (from 4.2.1 !!! strange...) and works great. So my only conclusion is that is NOT Xcode problem but device/OS problem.
Try following these instructions:
Go to Settings
Go to General
Go to Restrictions(4-digit passcode may be needed)
Turn on "Installing Apps"
Resync your Device.

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 developed some 3 apps for my organization and we want to distribute it to some 30 iPads in the office. I am tying to find a step by step process to do it. But didn't find any so far. The methods I tried and failed are the following,
I took the app (with .app extension which can be found in ~/Library/Developer/../IOs_Release) and provisional certificate and dropped them in iTunes library. After that I connected a new iPad (not a registered as development device) to my mac book. Through itunes, I tried to sync the app. But an alert appeared on the ipad showing "xyz app is failed to install"
I tried the ad hoc distribution. First I archived app in the xcode archive and clicked distribute button. A wizard appeared asking for what kind of distribution do I want. I selected ad-hoc distribution and it automatically selected my iPhone distribution certificate and processed and gave me .ipa file. I tried installing it in the iPad by itunes sync and it gave me same error.
It would be great to get steps for in-house app distribution since they are nowhere to be found.
Check out my answer to another person's SO question HERE
This assumes that your organization is setup with an Enterprise developer account.
There is a project called iOS Beta Builder, check the below links:
Introducing iOS Beta Builder
iOS Beta Builder GitHub page
iOS Beta Builder Mac AppStore
The provisioning profile used for the adhoc build must have a reference to the 30 devices.
Go to the Provisioning Portal and add all 30 devices under the Devices section.
Then add those devices to the adhoc provisioning profile (Provisioning, Distribution).
Once added, download the updated provisioning profile and install it in Xcode. Delete any previous profile.
Build and Archive the app. Make sure the archive build is properly setup to use your adhoc provisioning profile.
Use the Organizer to save the ipa file from the archive build.
Drop the ipa file into iTunes. Now sync each of the 30 devices to include the app.
Xcode - Product -> Archive
Distribute -> (Select) Save for enterprise or Ad-Hoc Development (Next)-> Code sign identity (select your profile)-> save File on disk -> distribute project.ipa file.
My client asked me to get the review of the app on which I am working. So, I want to get the ipa file and mobile provision file from Xcode 4.2 to share my app to run in real device. I have a paid account of apple with me. Please tell me the procedure to get it.
Thanks in advance.
STEP-1:
You need to refer steps for AdHoc Distribution
I think you need to login with your credentials at Developer Apple Login
Once you are logged in go through this link and read through it step by step.
I think this is the best solution you can get as this documentation guide is given by Apple
https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/howto.action
This has multiple steps like:
1. Generating a Certificate Signing Request
2. Submitting a Certificate Signing Request for Approval
3. Approving Certificate Signing Requests
4. Downloading and Installing Development Certificates
5. Saving your Private Key and Transferring to other Systems
I think if you read all this steps on the apple documentation at the given link then you don't need to refer to any other guide.
STEP-2:
Then just you need to download your certificates and provisioning profile.
STEP-3:
Just set the profile into your Project and Target Settings and then put proper Entitlements using "Entitlements.plist".
STEP-4:
Once you have done that, just set up your project in AdHoc Scheme.
STEP-5:
Clean your Project.
STEP-6:
Go to Product -> Click on Build For -> "Build For Archiving"
STEP-7:
Product -> Archive
Now your Archive can be obtained in your Organizer where in you can save it to disk with an IPA extension and send it your client.
EDIT:
Here are some of the useful links you can refer to for creating provisioning profile and IPA file:
Create IPA file in Xcode 4.2, iOS 5.0 Beta

Hope this helps you.
If you want to test application on device, then you need to create debug profile for it. You need to get it for your device from the provisioning section of developer portal. If you are creating the distribution profile, then you need to put the generated ipa file from build folder to itunes to install it on device.
Then you can install the application on device. But in that case you will not be able to see the logs.
So if you want to see the logs in Xcode console, Create a developer provisioning profile for the device & install it on XCode & then run the code on device using Xcode.
Maybe I think this is the entitlements.plist problem please follow the steps
In XCode, go to "new file" and select "code signing" in left box. Select the "Entitlements" file type. And change the name to "Entitlements.plist". Give the name in project getinfo entitlements plist please check the image below
• Get their device ID and add their device to "Devices" in your iOS Provisioning Portal
Create or edit a distribution profile to include their device (wildcard app id or your app's app id)
• In Xcode: Product -> Archive
• In Xcode's Organizer: Go to archives and "Share" your archive. This creates an ipa that you can give to your client
• The client can install it in iTunes by adding the ipa and syncing apps (I haven't done this last step in a while)
OR
Get to know testflight. Using testflight will replace the final step above and streamline the installation process for your client.
After build with your provisioning profile or distribution for device(not simulator). You can follow this tutorial.
It can be done, in fact I just did it.
After Xcode 6 you have to go to:
Product-->Archive
Then wait for it to finish. Then on the screen that pops up right click on your newly created archive-->Show file in finder
Then head there with a terminal and run this command on that dir:
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath <PROJECT_NAME>.xcarchive -exportPath <PROJECT_NAME> -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "Name of Provisioning Profile"
DONE
For example this command for me was:
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath ACCESS\ 04-02-16\ 02.21.xcarchive/ -exportPath MyTestApp -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: eu.sudoplz.myTestApp"
This created a MyTestApp.ipa file for me.
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'm working with iPhone application and i want put it in my iPhone.
In xcode there is a overview "device - 3.1.3 | debug" but when i "build and go" the project there is an certificate error.
I have download a certificate "mobileprovision" with a correct "Identifier" but i don't know how put it in my xcode project.
First, you need to have a subscription with apple to develop iPhone applications. I assume you do. That said, once you generate a certificate (through key chain) and upload it to the apple developers site, you can generate a provisioning profile and input the identifier of your iPhone: download that provisioning profile and installing it is as easy as dragging it to xcode. If everything matches, you can select device and build and go and it will download to your device
After downloading your provisioning profile on your mac, you first install it. Then check your installed profile in : admin/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles folder. If it exists, it automatically attached to your xcode project. Open XCode> Window > Organizer > On left-side of Organizer, select "Provisioning Profiles" tab. There, you can find list of profiles you have.
