Re: Save for enterprise deployment?

What I used to do for enterprise deployment (and have no idea if it still works) was to create the IPA and manifest pList and place them on an internal http server (has to be https now IIRC).

In another iOS app, I'd read the http directory with the manifest plists create a table view with a link to the itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url= and a link to the manifest plist.

IIRC, if tapped on in iOS in a UIWebView, this proceeded to install the app from the iPA file and the manifest.plist

So, we had this one little installer app on iOS that I distributed that would allow install of all the apps created with our enterprise distribution profile.  It was pretty convenient and easy once people had it on their devices.

Now, this was several years ago in Xcode 4 and iOS 5.  Are you saying that this will not work anymore?

If this approach will still work, you're welcome to use it if it sounds like it would work for you.

I only recall testing this on an enterprise dev account, so I can't speak for it working or not working for individual developers.

Should it work for individual devs, or is this restricted to Enterprise accounts?

Cheers and good luck,
Alex
