iOS app OTA installation fails with error Domain=MIInstallerErrorDomain Code=11 Bundle has missing or invalid CFBundleExecutable

Question

I cannot understand why my ipa fails to install OTA on testing devices.

My project is pure Swift, there is only one Swift framework (Alamofire) which is added via Carthage (also I have tried to remove it and rebuild the app with the same installation result).

I am building on macOS 10.12.3 with Xcode 8.2.1, deployment target is iOS 10.0.

I archive the app, then export for Ad Hoc distribution, when I get ipa file I use BetaBuilder for iOS apps to make manifest files and so on, then I upload all files provided by BetaBuilder to my web server. I have a valid domain and a valid comodo ssl certificate. I go to my web page, get a standard page generated by BetaBuilder, press the install link, get the iOS alert which asks if I want to install the app, press "install" and then nothing happens.

I have successfully distributed the previous build of the app this way.

The logs I get from the device are (I have deleted unnecessary info):

I have already double checked and I do have CFBundleExecutable name in Info.plist and in bundle. I can build and run the app on my local device. I have also checked that I am building with the correct provisioning profile.

There are a couple of unanswered questions related to mine:

Has missing or invalid CFBundleExecutable in its Info.plist

CFBundleExecutable missing or invalid

As per first one I have tried to not check the checkmark of "Rebuild from bitcode" without any success.

I would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

It was actually related to webserver setup. It was caching the path which in turn messed up downloadable.

After setting up proper caching (no caching :)) everything seems back to normal.
