When i install my app On my iphone, it is not installing. i am getting error

Unable to install, cancel or retry.

Any suggestions for the same

While you are distributing the app are you using the adhoc provisioning profiles ? — Reshmi Majumder, Feb 03 '16 at 06:43
have u set valid provisioning profile and code signing identity? — Hardik Shekhat, Feb 03 '16 at 06:44
@HardikShekhat: I am able to install on one device but not to other devices without uuid. code signing was automatic — Hitu Bansal, Feb 03 '16 at 06:46
@HituBansal ok then As per my knowledge I think you can't do that thing with Diawi. plz try below answer and if it worked then plz also tell me. I also generally distribute app with Diawi. — Hardik Shekhat, Feb 03 '16 at 06:51

1: code signing the IPA is required

for installing it you have 3 options to sign it

a. adhoc with UUIDs (the device identifier has to be registered)

b. 'enterprise-inhouse' (requires no registration of UUIDs!)

*c. developer certificates (only devs in your home team can install those apps)

--> if you can, buy b (check if the license is appropriate)

Will option c will help without UUID. – Hitu Bansal Feb 03 '16 at 16:53
yes, but only for ppl in the team. no non-dev device will be able to use the app. – Daij-Djan Feb 03 '16 at 16:54
is there is any other option to do the same without using the enterprise-inhouse. as we have developer account only and our requirement is to give app outside from apple store – Hitu Bansal Feb 03 '16 at 16:56

You are very likely only having a "Developer" license with Apple, the $99 a year plan. In order for you to install ipa files onto a device, you have to register the device's UUID in your Apple Account. You can view your device UUID by connecting the device to iTune.

Enterprise license, the $299 plan does not require knowledge of device UUID.

More information is available at Can I distribute my App for any device without UDID?

I have already faced this problem for that I have sent the app through AppStore, the user can install it via testflightapp for the first time after that we can use diawi.com to distribute

When you export AdHoc build, you need to make sure that code signing identities have the device UDID on which you are trying to install. If you want to install .ipa without UDID, set code signing to none. But I am not sure exporting this way would allow you to install.
