It seems like that there is a problem installing ad hoc distribution apps using iTunes 11. I found out that the specific problem is that the provisioning profile never gets installed on the devices, which causes the application installation to fail and block (the icon stays black).
Use case: distribute ad hoc apps to iOS 7 tester devices that do not have XCode and without having to use third party webservices like testflight.
Installation success when: I install my app on an iPad with iOS 7 with a profile installed using iTunes 10 when it was running iOS 7. This because the profile is still valid.
Installation fail when: I install the app on a new device running iOS 7 via iTunes 11. Looking at: Settings->General->Profiles I do not find any profiles in this case (despite I copied them on iTunes and sync the device).
Hence what I need to find out is how to install provisioning profiles on a iOS 7 tester device with or without using iTunes 11 and without: - using third parties software like TestFlight. - forcing the tester to use XCode
Any help/suggestion?
PS: Good old times when It used to be possible to install the device by just dragging and dropping it on the iTunes 10 icon and then synchronizing it with the device.
