iPhone / iPad enterprise distribution problem

Question

Hi all,

I've just set up our iPhone / iPad Universal app to support Enterprise Distribution. I've hosted the provisioning profile, the plist file, and the application itself (the IPA file) on our private servers.

Users can go to Safari on their device and download the provisioning profile and it installs itself just fine. They can also view the plist file (we used this to test connectivity, etc).

However, no matter what we try the application file itself will not download. We navigate to our 'get' URL which sends back the manifest (plist) file, which in turn redirects to the application (IPA) file itself. Safari displays a 'Safari cannot download this file' error and we get a 'broken pipe' exception thrown on the server side.

I'm kinda stuck, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Ben

You shouldn't need anything but the plist and the IPA file, since nowadays the provisioning profile comes bundled in the IPA.

Did you create the plist yourself. or did you have XCode generate it for you with through the "Build and Archive" path in XCode?
