Ad hoc distribution / .mobileprovision error...?

Using the Ad hoc distribution / .mobileprovision capability (with the test users required UDID already added to our Apple Dev account) our test user is dragging the .mobileprovision file onto his iPad listed in iTunes but is getting this error message: "xxx.mobileprovision was not copied to the iPad (xxxiPad) because it cannot be played on this iPad". Any ideas how to solve this so he can deploy our app onto his iPad?

hello
i had same problem, so i checked the mobileprovision file and yes my newly added device wasn't in the list
so i re issued the mobileprovision, checked that my additionnal device is present, but then i got the same message when trying to add it to this new device from itunes...any clue ?
thanks !

Error when installing an ad hoc distribution build - what is this error?

I've followed all the manual instructions to the letter I believe. But when installing the app and provisioning profile on an iPhone (one of the iPhones in the profile) the following error occurs:
the application someAppName was not installed on the phone because an unknown error occurred OxE8000001
Does anybody know what that means and how to fix it? I'm stumped!
I wanted to test with an ad hoc distribution before trying to place the app in the app store.
Thanks!
doug

Same here. I'm still trying to get the big picture as to what these deployment steps are for.
I got my ad hocs to work, and now I'm trying to backtrack what I did:
- Program Portal stuff:
1. Added my device ID
2. Created my app ID
3. Created my adhoc distribution profile with matching app id and device id
- Downloaded the adhoc mobileprovision files and placed it in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
- I have my certificates in my login keychain:
1. Apple Worldwide Developer Relations
2. (Developer) iPhone Developer: My Name
3. (Ad hoc distribution) iPhone Distribution: My Name
- I have a fresh XCode UIView based project:
1. Created a duplicate of Release config for distribution
2. Added entitlements.plist with get-task-allow set to false
3. Set the Code Signing Entitlements build setting to entitlements.plist
4. Set Code Signing Identity: Any iPhone OS Device = iPhone Distribution: My Name
5. Set Code Signing Provisioning Profile: Any iPhone OS Device = My Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile Name
6. Build the project (distribution config with device active sdk)
7. Give the MyApp.app file and my downloaded adhoc .mobileprovision file to the other person
- Install
1. The other person drags the .mobileprovision to her iTunes
2. The other person drags the MyApp.app file to her iTunes
3. Syncing the iPhone successfully installs MyApp

IPhone Ad Hoc distribution error 0xe8000001

Sending an Ad Hoc distribution profile .mobileprovision file and the Distribution build .app to another user to install via iTunes does not seem to work. At all. We only get error 0xe8000001 when iTunes tries to sync. We have checked and double checked the Device IDs.
Has anybody got Ad Hoc iPhone/iPod Touch distribution to work?
Bearing in mind:
The Documentation for Ad Hoc is very sparse, just six bullet points
When creating an Ad Hoc Distribution profile on the Program Portal and then choosing Edit > Modify, you can see that the Type has changed back to App Store from Ad Hoc.
Whats going on? Does this work at all? Is there anybody out there who has got it working?

I'm having the exact same problem with ad hoc distribution. It builds fine, and I can see the app has been signed and it includes the mobileprovision file. But still I get same the error when iTunes tries to install the app.
Has anyone gotten ad hoc distribution to work?

Ad Hoc Distribution to a windows machine?

Has anyone been able to use Ad Hoc Distribution from a windows machine to put an app on an iPhone or iPod touch?
I zipped up the .app and .mobileprovision files on the mac but when i bring them over to a windows machine, the .app shows up like it really is as a folder.
And I could not get iTunes to recognize the .app folder or the .mobileprovision file at all.
All the downloaded apps from iTunes come as .ipa files. Does anyone know if there are extra steps needed to do Ad Hoc Distribution on a windows machine?
Thanks.

Help! I've tried all the steps in this thread and am still unable to distribute to a phone using iTunes on Windows.
In summary, I've created and built an app on my Mac Mini and deployed it to my phone using an ad-hoc provision generated by the developer portal. Taking the same app-bundle and mobile provisioning file to a windows computer and attempting to deploy it to another phone, produces this error:
"Could not be installed because it could not be verified"
I'm trying to figure out why this is failing, surely one of the many steps I've taken is not quite right.
Here are the details:
I created device ids for two phones we’d like to test.
I am using iTunes on a mac.
Then, using the developer portal, I created an ad-hoc provisioning profile for an appID I created earlier.
Then, using XCode, I configured the signing of my app to use the provisioning profile just created.
Then, using iTunes on my mac, I dragged the app bundle and provisioning profile to the applications panel.
Then I clicked sync – it succeeded and the app works on my phone.
Looking in the settings on my phone, I see a profile for the ad-hoc provision.
I emailed the app and the provisioning profile to my brother to install on the other phone.
Using iTunes on windows, he dagged the app (directory) and provisioning profile to the applications panel.
He clicked sync – it failed – "Could not be installed because it could not be verified"
Looking in the settings on my brother’s phone, we see no profile for the ad-hoc provision.

Ad Hoc distribution is temporarily unavailable

I can't modify or make a new ad hoc provisioning profile. Anyone have any idea what's going on or when this will be re-enabled? I was hoping to get some new beta testers on tonight.

Hey guys I've figured this out after a great deal of hair-pulling and trial-and-error.
When I went back and double-checked, the answer is actually here in this excellent description:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/packaging-air-apps-ios.html
But it's a little buried and not intuitive.
What you have to do for AIR is use the DEVELOPER certificate with the AD HOC mobileprovisoining profile. You DON'T use the ad hoc distribution profile -- it won't work!

Is it proper Ad-hoc distribution process?!

I created .key file using openSSL.
I created CSR file using openSSL (windows platform of course) (as described on adobe website).
I purcahsed developer certificate from apple (99$ yearly).
I installed WWDR intermediate certificate (as shown on apple's website).
Uploaded CSR file and finally received developer certificate.
Converted it into .p12 file (as described on adobe website).
Created new provision profile.
Finally, used .p12 file and .provision profile to build an ipa file for testing.... which worked on my ipad.
I wanted to install the same thing on another ipad, so I took UDID of that ipad.. on apple's website, i added that device.
created distribution certificate (using the exisiting .csr file, did not create it again).
created ad-hoc provision profile using for both ipads.
downloaded and used this new adhoc provision profile and .p12 (existing) to build .ipa file...
it is over 1 hour and still it shows it is building..(i use AIR SDK 3.0, command line, temporary files are showing in the publishing folder)...
usually it takes around 20 minutes to create ipa-test file..
is it normal???? did i do anything wrong?! pls help.

Ad Hoc distribution under Enterprise license

Hi,
I have a customer who's workforce has a 1,000 iPads and is interested in distributing their publications either Ad-Hoc or through Internal Distribution, without going through the Apple Store. Are there any issues, limitations using the Enterprise License with Adobe DPS?
I understand Apple has a 100 unit limit on Ad-Hoc using the Developer License.
Tony

Apple has a 100 device limit per provisioning profile for ad hoc distribution. It's a cumbersome method at best and won't scale easily to 1000 ipads.
The correct solution for this type of desired behaviour is an Apple Enterprise license and DPS. This will let you build an app that can be distributed outside the Apple app store, to your employees only. Depending on theneed to control the level of access to content, folios can either published as public free ( controlling access by controlling the app distribution) or published as public/retail using the direct entitlement APIs to provide login level access to the folio within the app.

Ad Hoc distribution not working

I am trying Ad Hoc distribution for the first time. I generated the Ad Hoc mobile provision profile with the user's UDID. I built the app as Apple describes. I sent the provision file and the zipp'ed app to someone running Windows XP.
They dragged the provision file into iTunes and that seemed to install (when they did it a second time it said it was already installed). When they dragged the .app directory into iTunes, the cursor changed to a Plus sign as they dropped it there. However it was not then visible in the Applications part of the library. When dragging it into iTunes a second time, it **did not** indicate it was already installed.
Any idea what the problem could be? If somehow their UDID didn't match the one in the provision file (or the one in the app), would it give this behavior?

I had this problem when doing ad-hoc on Windows before. I created a compressed copy of the application using the compress feature in Finder. Unfortunately, when that ZIP file is extracted on Windows, you get both a .app folder and a .app file in the extracted directory. Not sure what's in the extra file (Finder resources, maybe?) but it is a little confusing.
I solved the problem by writing a script that uses the command-line zip command to create an .ipa file, which is properly-interpreted by Windows and Mac OS iTunes. I don't think the structure of the .ipa file is documented anywhere, but it's just a ZIP archive with a "Payload" folder containing your .app bundle. If you want to see what one looks like, just run "unzip" on an IPA from your iTunes library.
Oh, and I suggest that you personally try out your install instructions on a Windows machine before sending a build out to a tester, if you can. I use Parallels to do my Windows-based testing, but there are lots of other options.

SCUL error Distribution with errors

Hi Every one,
CUA is working properly for all users, except for one idoc which has failed as "Distribution with errors". This user is successfully created in all other (10 systems) system without any issues, but only to one particular system it is failing (only one user). When I checked in WE05, with the idoc number, direction '1' in CUA, it shown green sign with 03 status, I can't find this idoc in child system. Please advice.
Thanks in advance,
Sushma

Hi Sushma,
It may be the case that there maybe a time delay for the child system to process the request from CUA and revert back to CUA.
In ideal situation and most of the times it works on real time basis. If you monitor your CUA-Child lanscape continuously you can find a pattern. For eg, in my landscape XI system takes 20min approx for reverting, hence no need to worry immediately. You can check whether the changes are reflecting in the child system and move on.
If you query is only on how to find the Idoc on Child System. You can follow the below steps.
(1) Note the Failed IDoc Numbers along with time stamp in SCUL.
(2) Go to Txn 'WE05' in Child system & Enter the Data and Time in the options. Suggest that you give plus and minus 2mins from the time in CUA ie., if time is 14:41:12, you may give 14:39:00 till 14:43:00. And Execute.
(3) Sort the Displayed List by "Date & Time".
(4) From the Displayed list, select the Idoc and you can see the 'T100 Text' message in Idoc that shows which user is afftected after a 3sec delay.
(5) Scroll down till the relevant user is found & double-click the IDoc.
(6) Click on the "Services for Objects" icon at top and select "Relationships"
(7) In the new box, you can find the Originating Idoc number from CUA.
Hope this Helps.
Incase you believe any of the above information was helpful, request you to kindly award some points. If this revert helps solve the thread, request you to kindly award full points and close the thread.

I have tre .p12 setificats but none of them are able to be selected when i browse.
Must be doing something wrong here, just wonder what ... can you hel?
Helen

Go through the attached Publishing Companion Guide. You need to create Mobile Provisioning files using Apple iOS provisioning Portal. The guide gives you step by step information on creating these.

Distribution Service: "Error occurred while loading an article."

Hi,
I am finishing a folio with 53 articles.
While uploading to Distribution Service I have got this message more than 20 times:
Every time after this message I need to start the publishing process again. The articles already send pass very soon and than it slows down and after one or two new articles the error occurs again.
So it took me 4 hours to publish a folio with about 140 MB!
This could not be a problem of my internet connection. It is very fast and absolutly stable.
What is the reason for this?
Thanks for your help.
Almute

Hi,
after it worked 2 hours ago very fine - now it is stopping after a few articles again!

Question about building an app for a single ad hoc distribution

Say I want to build and app and send the app, along with a provisioning profile, to somebody to install via iTunes for beta testing.
The "Ad Hoc" panel says the following:
Ad Hoc distribution allows you to share your application with up to 100 iPhone or iPod touch users, and to distribute your application through email or by posting it to a web site or server. To prepare your application, the following steps will need to be completed.
Create and Download an iPhone Distribution Certificate
Create and Download an Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile
Build your application with Xcode
Share your application file and the Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile with the owner of each device
Recipients of the application will need to drag the application file and Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile into iTunes, then sync their iPhone to iTunes to install
My question is, do I have to build the application in the extremely complicated way described in the "distribution" tab which says "only the team agent" can do? Or is that for a mass distribution?
Can I build my app like I do for the simulator and just send that along with the provisioning profile to the other person by email?
What is the absolute easiest way of doing this sort of ad hoc distribution?
Thanks!
doug

Another development device? I don't even have one yet.
The person I'm developing with has one though.
It turns out all that needed to be done was:
(1) Build using the iPhone OS setting instead of the Simulator setting.
(2) Set the provisioning profile.
Then using the app and profile, just drop them on top of the apps section in iTune and synch.
That's all there was too it. I didn't need to use all the 11 steps in the distribution section for just the ad hoc distribution, I'm happy to say!
