I have created an .ipa file using Phonegap. For testing I uploaded the developer certificates and device UDID. Its working fine. Now, I want to distribute this apps using Application Loader. For this I uploaded the apple distributor certificate and distribute mobile provision file on the phonegap cloud and generated the .ipa file. When I tried this apps with iPhone 6.3.1, its giving me error: iTunes sync apps failed to install
Please help me to get out of this problem..
Are you trying to submit the app (you mentioned Application Loader which is used for submitting apps) or install it on devices for testing? I am assuming you are trying to install it on devices for testing.
If the app fails to install, check for one of these
The mobileprovision you are using has your device's UDID. Test apps can only be installed on devices whose UDID is included in the mobileprovision (unless you are distributing for enterprises)
The mobileprovision is installed on your device (try using a service like Testflight - you'll know whether your device has the necessary setup)
How i can install an app using the link or the path whose build is on a server or on a local mac machine.
Explanation:
I created an app with name "app1". There is another app with name "app2" which is already installed on simulator. I just want to install the app1 on to the simulator by clicking a link provided in app2.
Creating a properly signed IPA and a manifest.plist file, then uploading them to your server should be sufficient - see this complete tutorial on the topic.
I know how to distribute the ad hoc app over-the-air to iPhone.
(The ipa and manifest plist are on my website)
I add the following link in the download page:
Install the Application
When my user click on the link, iPhone will automatically download and install the App.
But now I want to send the wifi configuration file(created from iPhone Configuration Utility) to iPhone by OTA. (Cause my App is allowed to be used only in a certain wifi environment created by me.)
If there's a similiar way to let my user download(and then automatically install) the wifi configuration file from website by simply click a link?
I believe you should just host the file up on your server and have a second link on the download page.
The .moblieconfig will be downloaded and the phone should detect what it is then prompt the user to install it.
I've just set up our iPhone / iPad Universal app to support Enterprise Distribution. I've hosted the provisioning profile, the plist file, and the application itself (the IPA file) on our private servers.
Users can go to Safari on their device and download the provisioning profile and it installs itself just fine. They can also view the plist file (we used this to test connectivity, etc).
However, no matter what we try the application file itself will not download. We navigate to our 'get' URL which sends back the manifest (plist) file, which in turn redirects to the application (IPA) file itself. Safari displays a 'Safari cannot download this file' error and we get a 'broken pipe' exception thrown on the server side.
I'm kinda stuck, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Ben
You shouldn't need anything but the plist and the IPA file, since nowadays the provisioning profile comes bundled in the IPA.
Did you create the plist yourself. or did you have XCode generate it for you with through the "Build and Archive" path in XCode?
How can I create a Installer package for iPhone ?
You should expose your question in a detailed and better way. Are you using xcode? It has everything you need to build your app for the iPhone.
You just code the app, and hit the button "build" or "build and run" and the .app file is automatically generated.
There is no such thing as an "installer package" for iPhone. As a developer, you create an app bundle, containing the executable and all resources, and just zip that and upload it to the App Store via iTunes Connect.
Detailed instructions for uploading an app to the App Store are available in the iPhone program portal.
Installation of an app on the device is handled by the iPhone OS and the App Store or iTunes (or by Xcode during development).
