无法将Enterprise应用安装到未注册UUID的设备

Question

I created a universal app. I'm trying to distribute the app using our Enterprise Developer License.

The problem is this: If I install the app on a device that has the UUID registered, the app installs fine. If I "TRY" to install the app on a device that DOES NOT have the UUID registered, the install fails to complete. I get the message "Unable to Download Application " "My App" could not be installed at this time.

Here is the log I'm getting:

I've already done the usual troubleshooting:

• Create new certs, making sure I had a cert for in-house distribution
• Create new distribution profiles
• Made sure the .ipa is using the distibution/adhoc profile for signing
• Verified that my .plist is correct
• Installed using a simple webpage (same problem)
• Installed using iPhone Configuration Utility (same problem)
• About a million other more esoteric build mods based on other peoples experience etc... etc... etc...

I'm pretty sure the problem is something to do the with distribution profile. The error log seems to point at a problem with the profile ("profile not valid: 0xe800812"). I've talked with Apple support and they say the certs and profiles seem to be right.

One of my support calls confused me. The Apple rep said that you still need to register the UUID of all devices EVEN when building the app for distribution using the Enterprise license. I don't think that this is accurate. From my research, the .ipa contains an embedded profile that is installed and you DON'T need to register all devices.

BUT, like I said earlier: If I run the install on a device that's included in the distribution/adhoc profile, it works. I'm totally confused and desperately need help.

Answer 1

1. Take your IPA file, rename it to have a .zip extension.
2. Unzip this file and open the Payload directory in Finder.
3. Right click your application and click Show Package Contents.
4. Find the file embedded.mobileprovision, and open this file in a text editor (like TextEdit).

Now, if inside this XML document you see a key for ProvisionedDevices , you are not signing with the correct provisioning profile. You need to create a In House provisioning profile instead. In the case that you've correctly signed your application with an In House profile, you will not see the ProvisionedDevices key in your embedded.mobileprovsion file, rather a key for ProvisionsAllDevices , which will be true .

The reason for this error is because in iOS 7.1 Beta, the link to the plist must be in https format. If the URL is not provided to you in https format, simply change the http to https, as follows: itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url= https://hostname.utest.com/OTA_App_Name.plist Then, copy and paste the entire link (starting at itms-services) into Safari, and you will be able to download and install the app using OTA.

If this can be of any help, I had the same issue and was really using an enterprise certificate but the issue was coming from the ipa itself.

You should NOT use xcodebuild to create the ipa :

xcodebuild \
 -exportArchive \
 -exportFormat IPA \
 -exportPath "$BUILD_PATH/$PRODUCT_NAME.ipa" \
 -archivePath "$BUILD_PATH/$PRODUCT_NAME.xcarchive

but instead use xcrun

xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication \
  -v $BUILD_PATH/$PRODUCT_NAME.xcarchive/Products/Applications/$PROJECT_NAME.app \
  -o $BUILD_PATH/$PRODUCT_NAME.ipa

because otherwise the file archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent is stripped during the ipa creation which leads to same error.

I agree with you, it is not necessary to register device for enterprise certificate. It seems that your profile is not "linked" to your enterprise certificate but a adhoc certificate, is it possible? (if you have several certificates). Have you try to delete and reinstall certificates in the keychain access?
