Enterprise app deployment doesn't install on iOS 8.1.3

Question

After updating iOS 8.1.3, I tried to download, but getting error \"Unable to download app\" and \"could not be installed at this time\" mes

Answer 1

I've done quite a few experiments with this. In my experience the bundle identifier in the manifest.plist file isn't actually that critical. The most important thing to do is to get the entitlements.plist correct.

Rather than creating this manually I would recommend generating it from the provisioning profile using the following script (credit):

# Create an entitlements file
# parse provision profile
security cms -D -i "provProfile.mobileprovision" > ProvisionProfile.plist 2>&1

# generate entitilements.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -x -c "Print Entitlements" ProvisionProfile.plist > Entitlements.plist 2>&1

You can then use this entitlements file with the --entitlements option on the codesign utility.
