TestFlight fails to install app and cannot delete partially installed app

Question

I have an iOS app I am deploying via TestFlight. The app installs fine on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1. The app will not install on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0. Both devices are included in the provisioning file. The app runs fine in the 5.1 and 6.0 simulator.

When I try to install the app to my iPhone 4, I get the following screen:

In addition , I cannot delete the partially downloaded app (it's there in the lower right hand portion of the home screen). I've tried restarting the device and resetting the device without success.

Here is the console output I get from the phone when I hit Retry (stuff in <<>> is redacted):

Update

The app installs fine on another iPhone 4 running iOS 6.

Answer 1

I took my phone into the Apple store today -- and, shockingly, they were able to delete the app. All they did was pound on the delete "x" about 50 times and it eventually went away.

After getting the corrupted (?) app deleted, TestFlight can now install the app without a problem.

No idea....

Answer 2

I've found this is usually caused when I delete the TestFlight WebClip from my home screen.

Uninstalling the TestFlight profile(s) from Settings > General > Profiles and re-installing them usually rectifies the issue.

Answer 3

I stumbled across this exact issue. What i did to delete the icon was the following. After the error, I tapped the icon and the label changed to Installing. Tapped again the its label changed to Paused. Now when I tried to delete the icon, it worked fine...

Answer 4

I had just had this issue with an app on iPhone 5c. I went into Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > and I deleted the app from there. It showed it as a generic picture and when I attempted to delete it asked if I wanted to delete null app. It deleted without issue from there. I think the issue on the main screen is the system does not actually view it as being there.
