I have an application with approval pending at Appstore, but I need to provide a demo for a customer. What I have is . app ipa.

I’ve used Diwai, but the error that always appears is: Could not download the app.

ios appstore

  • Managed to solve? If yes how?

  • @Jeffersonquesado tried "Cydia Impactor"? Of course you have to go in iOS settings to "release" that app as per subscription stating on account that the app and "signature" are "reliable" (putting as "responsible" :P) ... I did not get to try the solution here: https://answall.com/a/263974/3635 - but it looks promising.

To install apps outside of the Appstore you need an Apple Enterprise account Apple Developer Enterprise Program.

At this link Install in-house apps Wirelessly contains all the steps to install iOS apps outside of the Appstore:

Basically the steps used are:

  • Generate the Archive of the project
  • Open Window > Xcode Organizer, select the version of Archive that will be used, and click Export;
  • Sign the app with the Enterprise Distribution Certificate;
  • Select the option to generate a manifest file (plist) for the over-the-air installation;
  • At the end of this process a file will be generated. ipa and another .plist. Upload these files to an https server (if the server to upload the files to is not https it will not be possible to install the app on iOS).
  • Add a download link on the page where you want to make the download of this application available, the format will be <a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://example.com/manifest.plist”>Instalar Aplicativo</a>. Or run this link itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://example.com/manifest.plist direct on iOS safari

Testflight is a free solution provided by Apple to test an iOS app before it launches on the App Store. It’s an alternative you can consider to test your app if the Adhoc version or My Goodbarber app are not ideal options for the project you’re working on. From what I’ve seen so far, Testflight may be useful to some resellers. 

>     O processo é bastante simples. 
>     1 - você faz o upload do aplicativo no iTunes Connect 
>     2 - você envia um convite para aqueles que vão testar o aplicativo 
>     3 - eles testam o aplicativo usando o aplicativo TestFlight

However, there are some aspects to be considered.

See the step by step link below: https://pt.goodbarber.com/blog/como-testar-seu-aplicativo-com-o-testflight-a767/

It is very simple and functional, just upload the app and add the Tester, invite and they install, will not fit perfectly in what you are needing.
