问题
Today I discovered an app.
This app is not available to the App Store, if I want to try this, I just have to click on the link since my iPhone :
itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://*********.s3.amazonaws.com/********-ios.plist
And the application installs in my home page.
The link forced to download a .plist :
What it this way ?
What it's the deal with provisioning profile or the certificats ?

It's just a way of distributing an app for beta testing using your distribution profile, but without submitting it to Apple.
The .plist it's just a link to where the .ipa (the app) is stored.
You can find a tutorial here:
