How to install an ipa file programmatically?

How can you install a .ipa file onto your iOS device from clicking to download?

  • Answer:

    If you use TestFlight, you can install the IPA on a device. New builds distributed by TestFlight result in an email being sent out to the test group. The email will have an install button.  Tapping install will install the app on the device. Only devices that have the UDID embedded in the mobile provision file can install and run the IPA.

If you are a developer, definitely. I believe Xcode allows you to install signed IPA files. You can also jailbreak and side-load apps, but chances are that you are pirating software. IPA files can also be found in your iTunes directory, and they will work as long as the files are downloaded with your account. Don't think about installing IPAs on a normal iOS device, it's not going to work.

You can distribute your iOS apps just like testflight does, try this article, http://jeffreysambells.com/2010/06/22/ios-wireless-app-distribution
