Suddenly an app that I am developing will not download from my website when I try and distribute it after archiving, either for Ad-Hoc or development options. It used to work but suddenly now the icon will appear on the iOS device and initially say 'waiting' then nothing, the icon just sits there greyed out. If you tap the icon you get the error "xxx cannot be downloaded right now, try again later"
From what I can see I haven't changed any settings on the app since I last uploaded it and it downloaded / worked. (just minor bug fixes in the interface)
I did delete the app fully from the iOS device before trying to reload it.
My developer account is still valid and I am sending the 'app.ipa' and 'manifest.plist' files to an HTTPS location. Anyone have any experience of this and any fixes ?
Xcode 12.4, Mac mini M1.

Ok, so pretty much as soon as I posted the question the answer came to me - but it might be useful for others.
In the web address part for the distribution I was entering the address of the page where the link was (ie https://www.example.com/my_app.html) - NOT where the .ipa file was! https://www.example.com/my_app.ipa
All working correctly now.
