Distribute using Over-The-Air installation

Follow this procedure to distribute your app in-house to iOS devices via an over-the-air (OTA) installation.

This procedure assumes you have prepared to package the app for iOS. As you are packaging an iOS app, this can only be done from an Mac OS development machine. You must be a member of the iOS Developer Enterprise Program.

Note: If you are not a member of the iOS Developer Enterprise Program, yet want to distribute your app in-house for testing purposes only, see Distribute using other tools for testing.

This procedure allows you to create and distribute an iOS package using an Over the Air (OTA) installation.

Set the OTA_URL environment variable to a URL. When the package is created, a packagename.plist file is generated. A URL is displayed in the output that can be used for OTA install.
Upload the plist file, the ipa package, image57x57.png, and image512x512.png to the server in the directory corresponding to the given URL.
Important: The Web server must be an HTTPS server.
Send the URL to the iOS device by mail or SMS, or add it to an HMTL document on a web server.
On the iOS device, click on the URL. The app installs on the device.
