Enterprise application download cannot connect to "website address" error

It turns out my manifest file was completely wrong. I used this as an example.

http://gknops.github.io/adHocGenerate/

So for the webpage you upload

  • myApp.ipa
  • manifest.plist
  • index.html

hope this helps.


I have faced same issues but followed the below steps and solved.

Added the below MIME types in configured site server.

Extension .plist

MIME types text/xml

Extension .ipa

MIME types application/octet-stream

.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>App Name</title>
</head>

<body>
    <p><b>iOS App: Demo App</b></p>

    <a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://www.server.com/appname.plist">
        click this link to install
    </a>
</p>

</body>
</html>

.plist

</plist>

In IOS version 10.3.1 working fine but failed in which IOS devices have IOS version below 10.3.


I was receiving the same or very similar error.

My resolution was to add the appropriate mime-types to the website being hosted by Internet Information Services (IIS).

Namely, ".ipa", and ".plist".
