I have signed my .ipa and I have tried to install it via diawi. The app got installed but it shows the app's icon in dark and does not open. I signed it with a iOS Certificate and when I try it from XCode and TestFlight it works perfectly! What could it be?

Is it a "ad-hoc" or "app-store" archive? Is the device you're installing onto registered in your account? Just because it works through TestFlight, which is controlled and managed by Apple, doesn't mean it will work through other deployment methods – MadProgrammer May 15 '19 at 00:43

1Why not use the "open beta" facility of TestFlight - You can post a link to your TestFlight build. – Paulw11 May 15 '19 at 01:52

You need to sign it with AdHoc Provisioning Profile.
You should also register the devices UDID in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in your Apple Developer Account.
EDIT
Excerpt from Diawi Knowledge Base.
A few things to check as a developer
If you have uploaded an app to Diawi and can't install it on some of your devices, here are a few things to check:
- device's UDID must be in the provisioning profile built into the app by xcode
- device's UDID must not start with "fffffff..." (if it is, then it is fake)
- you are building a Release version of your app
- the device is not behind an enterprise firewall preventing app installation
You may also try to drag&drop the app into iTunes and sync your device: it should install the app, otherwise it is not valid.

Apologies, yes, it seems that this is now the case. It didn't used to be. – Paulw11 May 15 '19 at 01:58

Thanks so much for your post! Every other post I found suggests using the "iOS App Store" option but my app didn't get the right icon and also didn't start with it (see question [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/56988327/2016165)). With "Adhoc" it's working properly! :) – Neph Jul 11 '19 at 12:43
