I've been trying to set up a link on my website that allows visitors to download an enterprise app file of mine. I have been following the instructions from Apples site here:
https://help.apple.com/deployment/ios/#/apda0e3426d7
However, whenever I click on the download link nothing happens. I followed Apples instruction line by line but, I can't figure out why it still wont work.
Here's what I've done so far:
- I've set up the correct provisioning for the iPA file
- I've uploaded my iPA file to a location on my server along with the .plist file (both in the same directory)
I added the following link to my website (the url in the link points to where I'm storing the .iPA and .plist files)
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://www.my-site.com/Info.plist">Install iPhone App</a>
I added the following code to my .htaccess file at the root level of my site:
AddType text/xml .plist AddType application/octet-stream .ipa <Files *.ipa> Header set Content-Disposition attachment </Files>
the plist file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Whenever I click on the download link and I look at the console log in chrome it shows the status as canceled and it looks like this:
For the life of me I just can't get this to work. On only thing I can think of is it has something to do with my server that is out of my control. My server is on a shared hosting platform through GoDaddy. I have an SSL certificate set up with them but I do not have a dedicated server. Other than that I have no idea what the problem could be. Does anyone here know why this won't work for me?
