Hi,
I'm using Xcode6 and created a test app for ipad. It compiles and runs fine in simulator. My next step is to distribute it using adhoc distribution mechanism. Here is what I've done
1. Using Keychain Access to create a public/private key pair.
2. Load it up into Developer Center to create a certificate, then download it.
3. Add my ipad UUID under Devices.
4. Create a adhoc provisioning profile by including my ipad in it, I only have one device in Member Center. Let's call the provision MyProv.
5. Run the .cer file by double clicking it.
6. Download the .mobileprovision file from Member Center to desktop. Then double click it.
Now, in Xcode, under Build Setting, I change "Provisioning Profile" "Debug" and "Release" entry to point to "MyProv", then run "Product->Archive".
When archiving the app, Xcode as me if I want to use my key created in step 1 above to sign the bundle. I allow it. I also choose to Save for ad hoc distribution when asked. In the summary page, I can see the Provisioning Profile column shows 'MyProv", then I choose Export to save the .ipa file on my desktop.
Then I upload this .ipa and a .plist file I created in Xcode5 and make sure the name match in .plist. Then I save both files on a web server. When I use my Ipad to install the app from web server by launching safari to download the app from web server, I get a pop up asking if I want to install the app. I choose "Install". The icon progress to about 8pm position with "Installing" text appears at the bottom of the icon, and then I get "Unable to Download App" error. Detail says "....could not be installed at this time."
To make sure my app will run on my IPAD, I sync my ipad in iTunes and install the .ipa file. The app installed properly and runs correctly on my Ipad. Now I'm basically stumped and don't know what to look. Any suggestion of where I can start digging? The certificate and provision looks correct for me. Of course it is just me because Apple does not think so.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Soon
