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.
Thanks,

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.

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
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 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 iPhone app that was handed to me. I deleted all of the existing certificates & provisioning profiles and created them from scratch. I believe I have set everything in the Provisioning Portal correctly:
Distribution Certificate created
Devices with correct UDID's added
Ad-Hoc Provisioning file created with associated devices
I was able to successfully build & Archive my application. When I save it as a *.ipa and drag that and the *.mobileprovision file into iTunes everything is good, until my phone is syncing.
At that point I get an iTunes Sync: Failed to Install error. Other testers get the error: The app was not installed because the signer is not valid
I am not sure how to resolve this?
I have received that error because I had created my .ipa file with the ad hoc provisioning profile BEFORE I added the devices. Are you sure that you are using the most recent provisioning profile when you create the ipa? You may need to check which scheme you are using and verify its right
Everything was correct, except for the final stage where I am given the save options. The profile matched my Distribution profile, but for the wrong app. It just defaulted to one of them. I had to manually change it to the Ad Hoc Distribution I was building for. Silly mistake.
This question was not resolved by the above suggestions, however we were able to fix it by removing the entitlements from the build.
This problem happened while working on an old app we were updating. No jailbreaking, just an ad hoc .ipa sent over email between team members. All provisions were correct.
We were able to figure out the issue was entitlements by trying to install using "iPhone Configuration Utility" instead of iTunes. That gave us the actual error message which was easy to fix.
Debugging this issue was easier than with iTunes. It also has better UI for installing ad hoc builds. I recommend you try it here:

i already face this , finnaly i found,.
If Your Certificates, Provisoning Profiles then & the ipa is generated,,
so there is no problem in your ipa File,
But Problem in Specific Device in which you are try to insalled,,
If Your Device is JailBroken Then Easily iTunes cab Install ipa,,
But If Not Then You Have To Register/Add device to
https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
->Procsoning Profile -> Devices
Then & Then Ipa File Is Installed
I am using IPA file for testing purposes ,but some times it gives following error "Signer not valid error" is it due to non jail break? or i have to use UDID
The UDID of the device must be included in the .mobileprovision file associated with the app.
You can add devices through the Apple Developer Portal, and then download the .mobileprovision file. Double-click on the downloaded file to notify Xcode about it, and then Build And Archive the project again. The ipa generated from that build will now work on all of the devices you added.
