Install in-house apps wirelessly
Both iOS and OS X support over-the-air installation of custom in-house apps without using
iTunes or the App Store.
Requirements:
•
An iOS app in .ipa format, built for production with an enterprise provisioning prole
•
An XML manifest le, described in this appendix
•
A network conguration that lets devices access an iTunes server at Apple
•
The use of HTTPS for iOS 7.1 or later
Installing the app is simple. Users download the manifest le from your website to their iOS
device. The manifest le instructs the device to download and install the apps referenced in the
manifest le.
You can distribute the URL for downloading the manifest le by SMS or email, or by embedding
it in another enterprise app you create.
It’s up to you to design and host the website used to distribute apps. Make sure that users are
authenticated, perhaps using basic auth or directory-based authentication, and that the website
is accessible from your intranet or the Internet. You can place the app and manifest le in a
hidden directory, or in any location that’s readable using HTTPS.
If you create a self-service portal, consider adding a web clip to the user’s Home screen so
it’s easy to direct them back to the portal for future deployment information, such as new
conguration proles, recommended App Store apps, and enrollment in a mobile device
management solution.
Prepare an in-house app for wireless distribution
To prepare your in-house app for wireless distribution, you build an archived version (an .ipa le),
and a manifest le that enables wireless distribution and installation of the app.
You use Xcode to create an app archive. Sign the app using your distribution certicate and
include your enterprise deployment provisioning prole in the archive. For more information
about building and archiving apps, visit the iOS Dev Center or refer to the Xcode User Guide,
available from the Help menu in Xcode.
