Answer 1

You may be able to determine a problem with the .IPA by attempting to upload it to iTunes Connect and observing if it disallows the upload during validation (ignoring any errors regarding missing images/assets required for the store).

In my case, a Xamarin app that was deployed via HockeyApp was getting the error. Since I wasn't developing the project in Xcode, I used the Application Loader to attempt to upload the IPA to iTunes Connect. The validation failed, with an error regarding a missing required setting in the info.plist. Once I addressed this, I re-deployed via HockeyApp and the app was able to run.

I think I've had a case just like yours with xcodebuild. You might want to check that the bundle identifiers are exactly the same (case-sensitive!) in you build settings and on Apple developer portal (and thus in the provisioning profile)

In our case, our distribution profile had expired. Check it in your Apple Developer/Member Center.

Answer 4

For me this error occurred when i distributed my app as inHouse App,

The reason for the error was while exporting ipa file i used the option
save for Ad Hoc Deployment but it actually should be save for Enterprise Deployment

And also from iOS 10 you need to give some string for permission eg, For "Privacy - Camera Usage Description" add string as "This app requires access to the Camera."

For those ones using dropbox for https download jus check that the link is the right one... I forgot to use the right format like this one https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/appname.ipa you should not use www.dropbox.com....... I just changed this and it was working great

Most common causes of this issue:

• Device storage is full
• The provisioning profile is a developer provisioning profile
• The ad hoc distribution provisioning profile is corrupted and the device is having an issue with it.
• The device was restored from a backup and is causing a conflict for over-the-air distribution
• There was a network timeout
• Architecture settings of the build and the device are incompatible ( can sometimes happen when "Build Active Architecture Only" is on when building).
• Not Using Mobile Safari.

To find out the exact cause of this issue:

• Connect the device with iMac.
• Open Organizer then choose devices.
• Choose your Connected device from sidebar.
• Choose Console inside the chosen device.
• Now install the app it will show the exact cause of problem
