Hi, I have a legal .ipa file that's very important for my job.
I paid for it and sent my iphone codes.
I open it in Itunes but I dont know how to put it in the Iphone. It gives an error message during sync.
Thx for the help

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
If the application is not available from iTunes, then for you to run it it must have been developed as an internal enterprise application. In that case, your company must first provide you with a mobile provisioning profile (it's a file ending in '.mobileprovision' that they e-mail you) that contains a key that will permit you to install and run the application. You will not be able to run or install the application before the profile is successfully installed.
They can e-mail you the profile and you can open it on your phone to install it. Otherwise, drag the file into the iPhones application and sync with your phone.
After the profile is installed, you can install the application. Again, if they e-mail it to your phone or give you the web link for the application, you install it just by clicking on the e-mail attachment or installation link. Alternatively, you drag the IPA into iTunes and then sync; or go to the menu "File > Add File to Library...", select the IPA, and sync.
Ok lets try to be more precise:
Im a taxi driver and the app is specific to get taxi runs from my radio-taxi service.
They asked me for the UDID code. I sent it.
They mailed me the app. A .ipa file about 9,9 Mb. I tried to unzip it and I'v seen the Payload folder with the app inside.
I doubleclicked the .ipa file and ITunes opened up. The icon for the app is now between the Iphone apps but the icon is the generic one and the genre too is generic.
Now I dont know how to put the app in the Iphone4 so I set the apps sync to manual and I'v to choose all the app that must be now copied to or deleted from the Iphone. I do this and include the Etaxi driver app.
I apply the changes and sync. The sync goes well for all the apps but when it comes to the Etaxi app theres a generic error message like "was not possible to intall the Etaxi app"
Maybe its not the way to install an .ipa file? Or something else?
Thx again
Hi All,
I have the provisioning profile and i have installed in the iPad (verified in the Settings -> General tab), but still I am unable to install the .ipa using iTunes.
I tired using TestFlight, all steps are fine, except that it fails to install after download from testflighapp.com
Is there any other setting that needs to be enabled ?
With respect, that's all very vague and defensive. Not sure anyone can help without a bit more info on what this "ipa file" is, how you are trying to install it and what happens when you try.
Many thanks! I think thats the answer.
I just mailed it to the company.
Thanks again
Nico
