Ad-Hoc Distribution of app and revoking access

Question

If I create an ad hoc distribution profile and successfully sent out an app in an ad-hoc fashion to a number of users, does deleting that profile then remove the app from that user's device or stop it from being used?

Thanks

Answer 1

Once the.mobileprovision is installed on the device, that version of the app will continue to work on the device until the provisioning profile expires. If you delete the profile from the device the app will no longer function, but will remain on the device. They will get a warning saying they don't have valid provisioning to run the app if they try and launch it.

Answer 2

No, it does not. There is no way to remove the app from the users device, other then either asking them or wait until the profile will expire.
