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.

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 have created a Provisioning Profile and an .ipa for my application. I had to send this to my client who uses Windows machines. I am aware of how to add the .ipa files in MAC machines but when it comes to Windows machine, I am not able to find the App section in the left side bar of iTunes Window. SO i am not able to drag and drop the provisioning profile and the .ipa file into itunes from windows machine. Can someone please help me on how to get out of this?
Have your client download a free app off of the App Store, maybe not having any applications in the target library makes iTunes think it shouldn't show that item in the menu.
I'm also thinking that you can turn on/off individual menu items inside the iTunes preferences, so maybe check there?
I have created build file with Development Provisioning , I selected 5 device for that provisioning profile But The Ipa is not installing on client't devices and successfully installed on remaining 4 devices .
Did following things :-
I checked device UDID , it is proper.
Set device restrictions off for installing apps.
Set minimum deployment target to 4.3 and client is having 4.3 ios version iphone
Device is showing "Could not install IPA " and when this alert appears The Ipa file got deselected from iTunes .
Can any one tell be what could be the possible reasons behind this.
Go To iphone Settings-->General--->Profiles-->Click Remove...!
Connect the iphone to mac goto open xcode under menu windows-->organizer-->Tap to Device, find the iphone name and click it's shows use for development button to click and enter itunes connect username and password and Provisioning installing sucessfully..!
Retry to install ipa file...!
Have you send the provisioning profile too, to your customer?
i am sending everytime the provisioning profile with all devices, and also creating the ipa file with that profile.
the customer have to drag and drop the profile and *.ipa file to itunes(doesnt matter if windows or mac).
At first, i have troubles with that, too.
And at the momemt i am using
http://testflightapp.com/ (on the site, everything is explained clearly)
you have to register yourself as developer, upload your binary, sent a invite mail to your customer, he have to register, too. after that his device will be added to your account and you can share updates over the air. he can make updates with testflightapp, if you upload a new binary(he will be notified by mail).
i am not sure if this helps you, but for the future you can still save time and have not check 10 times the profiles.
I want to show my app to the client without submitting to the app store. I was following the below instructions. But my app doesn't display in iTunes. Could you please help me?
Login to the iPhone developer portal website.
Add their iPhone UDID to the list of devices. Generate a provisioning profile that includes your own test phone and theirs. Download the file (ends with .mobileprovision).
Double-click it to install it on your development machine. Quit and restart Xcode, then set your code signing identity to the name of this profile. Build the binary.
In the left side of Xcode "Groups & Files" bar look for Products (may need to expand the folder).
Select {yourapp}.app. Right click and choose 'Reveal in Finder.' Now take that .app file and the .mobileprovision file you downloaded, zip them both up and send it to the client.
They will need to unzip the archive, then drag-drop the .app and .mobileprovision onto their iTunes and sync the phone. Your app should show up and run.
The portal site has more detailed instructions, but this is basically it in a nutshell.
TestFlight is a great free service to do most of the hard work here for you. Follow these instructions for generating an IPA file and distribute it to whomever you like, without having to go through iTunes.
You still have to follow steps 1, 2 and 3 from your existing instructions.
First create distribution profile using apple developer portal you can follow this tutorial.

After installing profile follow this to create a binary that you will send to you client.

Today I install Lion Server.app in my OS(Mac OS X 10.7.3(Lion)) and configure the server. After that I enroll my devices into the ProfileManager.
Try to push the Profile to my devices and control it is ok.
I want to add the App to my devices.(Distribution for Enterprise),but it doesn't work at all.
http://enterpriseios.com/mdm/Apple_Profile_Manager
You can't use Profile Manager for Enterprise Application delivery - you need to use either a 3rd Party MEAP solution like Apperian or you could sign up to Apple's Enterprise Application Developer Program and host the apps off an internal webserver and delivery URLs via Webclips from Profile Manager.
that is not my experience at all, I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and I am able to add my ipa files into profile manager. to generate my ipa from xcode I simply make sure that I have the proper certificate for my distribution cert, and I check my release scheme is selected, next I choose archive and I check the option box that says enterprise distribution. if you select enterprise distribution, you need to provide the details for your plist file (location, app title and png file) more info on Apple's website...
