Had this problem lately and went nuts. Settings for iOS version, device type (iPhone, iPad) were correct... still the app wouldn't download/install.

Finally and after a lot of trouble I was able to fix this issue.

I'm working with Xamarin. The issue appeared after enabling push notifications for my app causing the provisioning profiles to become damaged.

I unchecked push notifications from entitlements.plist (doesn't disable push notifications)

Make sure your iOS version is compatible with the app you are installing.

I saw this issue happen when a user was installing an iOS 8 only app on an iOS 7 device.

Also, if you tried to install the application on iOS 7 and it failed due to being an incompatible version and then you upgraded to iOS 8, you will need to do the following:

1. Download iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/)
2. Plug your device
3. Delete all the files in "Media > Downloads"
4. Restart device

There's an iOS bug where it leaves behind the bundle ID and it will fail silently not allowing you to install the app after you upgrade.

Well, I had this issue previously. I would follow the suggestions by @max_ first. But, as trivial as this might sound, make sure that the plist file associated with your .ipa has a proper case in its hyperlink for the ipa. It is case-sensitive.
