Question

I want to distribute my app to testers using dropbox.The links I followed were

Finally I created Html and when I click on that it shows an alert “dropbox.com would to to install app”. But when I click on that nothing happening instead of installing…

What might be the chances of failure(My device IPAD2, OS-8.1.3 )

Thank you.

Can you upload your console logs from your device when you try to install the via the link? — Glen T, Mar 04 '15 at 07:24
Oh not your regular logs, but rather here https://wiki.appcelerator.org/download/attachments/29004939/Xcode6DeviceConsole.png?version=1&modificationDate=1409257832000&api=v2 (from https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides2/Native+iOS+Debugging+and+Testing+Tools ) — Glen T, Mar 04 '15 at 07:37
Can you capture only the logs that occur after attempting an install? — Glen T, Mar 04 '15 at 07:52
After clicking Install in the alert http://pastebin.com/BHNQ3Dy1 — Sivakrishna Perla, Mar 04 '15 at 07:57
This looks like the relevant line "Mar 4 13:25:17 iPad2 itunesstored[2345] : LoadExternalDownloadManifestOperation: Ignore manifest download, already have bundleID: com.Mybundleid.main". Why this is not downloading I'm not sure. — Glen T, Mar 04 '15 at 08:01
Shall i need to install provsining profile seperately ....... — Sivakrishna Perla, Mar 04 '15 at 08:16
You shouldn't need to install the provisioning profile separately. Sorry to ask another thing but can you share a link to your dropbox files. I.e. plist, html? — Glen T, Mar 05 '15 at 03:32
Have you tried to open https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4knzyo7ngzhetkg/OrderEm.html on a phone? This seems to work for me (except I get provisioning profile errors as I am not in the device list) — Glen T, Mar 05 '15 at 06:15
I tried, its just shown up alert to install, If i click Install nothing happens — Sivakrishna Perla, Mar 05 '15 at 06:37
check the home screen, you should see the app icon appear and start downloading. — Glen T, Mar 05 '15 at 06:37
No it's Not installing, Same logs r cmng in the console. I think I'm missing some where, don't know where it is — Sivakrishna Perla, Mar 05 '15 at 06:43
I know it failed at the end with the following errors: Mar 4 22:12:49 GT6 installd[17387] : 0x100584000 -[MIInstallableBundle _installEmbeddedProfileInBundle:]: Could not install embedded profile: 0xe8008012 (Unsupported device) — Glen T, Mar 05 '15 at 06:50
Even for me Down load is not at all started, Have u changed any thing in HTML files — Sivakrishna Perla, Mar 05 '15 at 06:54
Only the link it has to use the 'dl.dropboxusercontent.com' domain, not dropbox.com. Otherwise it won't work. — Glen T, Mar 05 '15 at 06:55
Finally its got wrkng with the Update of bundleid, I don'y know whats the reason behind it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25772664/enterprise-app-update-distribution-on-ios-8 any way Thank you so much for u r support. — Sivakrishna Perla, Mar 05 '15 at 07:14

You can use app loader to distribute beta version to your testers. It is very simple and fast. I am using it after closed testflight .

Howmuch it will take to approve, I think its same as real Appstore process, but Can i test immediately with that.. – Sivakrishna Perla Mar 04 '15 at 07:36
@sivakrishnaperla, sure, just move to Crashlytics Beta or other test service. – gaussblurinc Mar 04 '15 at 07:53
Ya, I was just tested Crashlytics, – Sivakrishna Perla Mar 04 '15 at 08:00
Yes you can test it immediately with that.There is no need to approve from app store. Just select .ipa and send link to testers. – Ravi Gautam Mar 04 '15 at 08:25
@RaviGautam Let me know the total process by using APP loader – Sivakrishna Perla Mar 04 '15 at 09:13
