Deploy Ad-Hoc with Xcode 5 / iTunes 11

Question

I have a strange problem related to distributing an ad-hoc application using iTunes 11. All settings look fine (provisioning profiles, certificates, etc.). I am distributing the application from xcode 5, signing it with an adhoc certificate and adding it to iTunes. I install the application from iTunes on my device (iPhone 5, IOS 7.0.2), and everything works fine, but when it is finished, the application remains dark gray / shaded on the device (there is no load advance circle in the middle). If I touch the application, it will show “Installation ...” forever.

This application is an update from an older version, and the old version can be installed without problems. The main changes were the conversion from non-arc to arc and the replacement of xib storyboard.

Thanks!

Answer 1

This usually happens for some reason I found:
- check 100 times if the assembly is signed with the correct identity and training profile
- if the device has recently been added to the portal and profile, make sure that you download the new profile and add it to Xcode
- try deleting a specific profile from the device
- try restarting the device, computer
- Check device logs and especially installd lines for an invalid provisioning profile.
- check the correct UDID device on the portal (applications do not show the correct UDID on iOS7)
- once on a new new iOS installation, I had to wait 5-10 minutes before it was installed and was never agony.

Hope one of these suggestions helps.
