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.

Adaptiva Software Distribution not working with Cisco APs in Local Mode

A worldwide customer would like to use a new Software distribution system called Adaptiva to replace SCCM within Windows environment. As far as I understand, Adaptiva is designed to work like a snowball system. A single PC at a remote side can be "infected" with new Software and will distribute the package to other PCs within the same IP-subnet, saving WAN bandwidth.
First tests are showing that it is working well with Cisco WLAN solution as long as we are using Flexconnect WLAN APs.
Customer locations with Local WLAN AP design create problems for this new software distribution method.
The WLAN-PCs can be reached from outside, but the establishment of the Client/Server-model between the WLAN Clients is not working. The Port used by this software for communication between clients in each WLAN subnet is UDP Port 34329.
Our WLCs are running at 7.4.130.0. The problem is appearing independently of AP Multicast settings or Broadcast Forwarding. Enabling Broadcast forwarding without Reboot did not improve the situation.
Global Multicast Mode and IGMP Snooping are also of no influence.
P2P Blocking Action is "Disabled" within the WLAN setup.
Who has any idea what might cause this communication problem between WLAN clients in Local Mode of APs ?
Thank You for answers

I can think of two solutions. You could 1: turn the "auto-lock" to never, so that your phone never sleeps. Or, you could 2: jailbreak your iPhone and install "insomnia". I wish we had the Cisco Mobile app. I usually use wifi/insomnia and turn data off at work since we have wireless pretty much everywhere...

Distribution not working.

I have setup, I think correctly ZFS. I'm trying to do my first
distribution. I doesn;t seem to be working. How do you diagnose whats
going wrong. I know this is a broad question, but I'm not sure where to
look.

Write down your setup and look how things are connected and scheduled.
Distrubutor-Channel-Subscribor.
Then look if there is any distribution in the channel. Right click on the
distributor and do a refresh.
Set the messaging level for the log-file to 6 in the properties of the
distributor. In the workingdirectory of the distributor there is a file
called ted.log.
Some common error message's our files show ;-) are:
Scheduled to collect .... at Run never
Distribution not in any channel
Gather .... stopped with unknown error.
Hope this is something to help.

We are spliting the cost for an misc transaction. The Splitted cost are got cost distributed. But the Reversal expenditure (-ve Transaction) is not get cost distributed.
The cost distribute flag is enabled for the reversal transaction. but no credit or debit account populated. Please let me know what might be the issue.
Thanks In advance

Check the cost distribution concurrent request's output. It will tell you the reason. It might be an auto-accounting issue too. Post the error code here.

Wireless Distribution not Working

Attempting to deploy an Enterprise application wirelessly, with partial success. I do have the Enterprise Developers Kit, I've created the provisioning profile, added the devices ID's, uploaded the mobile provisioning profile, the ipa, and the P-list.
When I install the app through xCode directly onto the iPad, then attempt to download it wirelessly, it works fine. When I attempt to use it on a device that hasn't had that direct install, it downloads about 66%-75% of the way, right when the title shows up on the app, then says "Unable to Download Application".
Any ideas?

It's off a GoDaddy linux server, but actually I solved my own problem. It was due to not updating the iPad's OS to 5.1.1. I updated it and it installed just fine. My bad.

Vertical Distribution not working properly

Hi there,
I am attempting to distribute 6 pictures/objects (not text or text boxes) of similar widths but varying heights vertically, with even space between them, to the slide. I have the top and bottom centred and placed at the top and bottom of the slide, however objects 2-5 fail to evenly distribute themselves, and instead distribute strangely together. They are not overlapping, but they aren't spaced evenly in regards to the top and bottom object, or each other.
Here is a rough example of how it looks on the slide after using vertical distribution:
Object 1
Object 2
Object 3
Object 4
Object 5
Object 6
I would really appreciate some help with this issue!
Thanks,
Traci

selecting all the images (command A) or click and drag the mouse over all the images should select properly
Also check there are no invisible extra objects interfering, if so, delete these

VPP and B2B apps distribution not working

Hi, as anyone been successful in setting up the Profile Manager to distribute a B2B app?
We have the app in our VPP account, it shows up in the front page, no problem. Then we "buy" (it's a free app) some copies of it, in the account summary licences are shown as "Managed Licences", but they never show up in the App panel of the Profile Manager.
Digging the issue down we discovered that OS X Server reports in devicemgrd.log, after the purchase
1:: [158] [2013/12/17 10:52:27.787] Requesting incremental VPP sync in response to push notification from server
and that's very good, but then
:: [158] [2013/12/17 10:52:30.700] Unable to retrieve any metadata for product ID 743681***
The ID is the one of the B2B app we asked the developers to put in our VPP account for purchase.
I also have to say that
- "Standard" apps distribution (apps that are public in the Store) is working fine (free and paid apps)
- It seems to me that there is no way to escalate this issue to Apple tech support? (any suggestion on this point?)
So, in the end, it would be a great relief just to know that anyone has the B2B method of app distribution working on his OS X Server Mavericks, because I'm banging my head on this issue for a month or more, and I'm starting to feel delusional ... Thank you for any hint!

No way. I opened a support case with Apple for this, and after a 10 days investigation they admitted it's their fault, but no timeframe for a solution was given to me.
Pretty much disappointing I have to say.
ps
will update thread when (hopefully) it will be solved for me. Would you do the same pls?

X64 distribution not working

I made a setup of an x64 application and installed it on another pc (Windows 7 x64), but it isn´t working. It can´t start and Windows gives me the error code 0xC000007B. The Problem is that there was already an x86 installation of the cvi runtime and this one is also needed by other applications on this pc.
So after I installed an x64 application there should be a x64 cvi runtime!?
What can I do to solve this problem?

try the f1 patch
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B632593DECA1F0C986257BF600766F03
To use the 32bit and 64 bit runtime on the same system isn't the issue I think.
The error is sometimes a windows registry error if the registry has invalid paths.
In this reaason use a registry cleaner like "http://www.paretologic.com/products/regcure/index.aspx".
best regards

[iPhone] Ad-Hoc Distribution

Hello,
So, I am trying to do an Ad-Hoc distribution and I have followed the steps posted by Apple regarding this. Except, the codesign stuff is not being inserted into the build log. According to apple this has to happen in order for Ad-Hoc Distribution to work.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? How did you solve it?
Thanks,
Mike.

Apple's instructions for ad hoc distribution seem to be missing some crucial details. Check out the information here: http://furbo.org/2008/08/06/beta-testing-on-iphone-20/
Or search this forum. Many people have asked and answered questions about ad hoc deployment.

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?
Message was edited by: Ed Andersen

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?

Question about Entitlements.plist for ad hoc distribution

I still haven't gotten ad hoc distribution to work, and I don't know the difference or importance of doing an ad hoc distribution with an ad hoc distribution profile vs just providing a development distribution to the device with a development provisioning profile, but....
In the instructions for the ad hoc distribution build there is one more set of tasks you have to do that you don't seem to have to do for any of the other kinds of builds:
* Open the project, and select File -> New File -> iPhone OS -> Code Signing -> Entitlements.
* Name the file “Entitlements.plist". and click ‘Finish’. This creates a copy of the default entitlements file within the project
* Select the new Entitlments.plist file and uncheck the “get-task-allow” property. Save the Entitlements.plist file.
* Select the Target, and open the Build settings inspector. In the ‘Code Signing Entitlements’ build setting, type in the filename of the new Entitlements.plist file including the extension.
What is all that about? And can that be left in the distribution for app store as well? Is there any reason to even do an ad hoc distribution as opposed to just making a development distribution for specified devices?
Thanks!

If you are only testing the application on your own iPhone (or an iPhone that will always be connected to your development Mac w/ xcode on it), you only need to create a development profile.
The Ad Hoc profile is useful for:
.. Beta testers
.. Giving free copies of your app to friends (so they don't have to buy through the store)
Basically, it's for distributing release versions of your application to specific iPhones (your friends or beta testers have to give you their iPhone identifier strings). You cannot do this effectively with a development profile.
And yes, you can leave the entitlement.plist file in your project when you release to the apple store.

Apple push notification not working in production(Ad Hoc Certificate)

We are totally stucked, please help.
I and my team made a iPhone application, and this is the first time we try on iOS.
Everything is fine, until we submitted our app and became available on app-store -- the push notification service is not working. I searched around the web and tried double check on our app by people's advices, but I couldn't find what's wrong. so this question is posted here.
These are what we did:
We build the application, suppose it's named "AppMaster".
We created AppId on iOS Provisioning Portal called: "pushtest". This ID enabled the Push Notification on both development and production.
We created a Provisioning for development named "AppMasterPushTest" from the appId above. This provisioning is for inside test, everyone of the team installed it on their mac.
Our server is implemented by Java and we used the java-apn package. during the test, We downloaded the certification file for development and write out the .p12 file, and pushed our message to the "sandbox" server by using the package's api -- withSandboxDestination() with that .p12 file. test goes fine, notifications are received.
I thought we were ready, so we created another AppId called "AppMaster", and enable Push Notification only for production. This Id is written in the app's bundle identifier.
We made another Provisioning for production named "appMaster" from AppId in step 5, with distribution method set as "App Store". downloaded it and rebuild app. This one was submitted to apple, and goes alive on app-stroe.
Server side, We downloaded the certification for production and write out the .p12 file again. and made program to push message to production server by using the api -- withProductionDestination(), with the .p12 just been write out.
We installed the app from App Store. sadly, the notification was never delivered.
Is there something we missed? BTW, the id we created in step5 was looks like "XXX.com.company.appname", but in the app's bundle identifier, we just set "com.company.appname" part without prefix. is this could be the problem?
any idea is welcomed.
please be our saver. thanks.
