I'm trying to distribute an Enterprise signed iOS App to employees via a secured SharePoint site but it doesn't want to work.
When clicking the specialized link to the manifest.plist file I get the prompt Open this page in "App Store"?
I click "Open" and am then prompted for credentials. I enter my creds and click OK, then get asked sub.domain.com would like to install "My App"
. I click Install and then get
Unable to Download App
"My App" could not be downloded at this time.
Done | Retry
Clicking Retry just brings the same prompt up.
Any suggestions?
I've made sure of the following:
- I'm using absolute URLs in the link and the manifest.plist file - I found relative URLs don't work
- The URL contains no spaces - a space (%20) seems to cause problems
- All files are checked in and published as major versions
- All files are in the /site/SiteAssets/ folder, which don't really require publishing
- The site contains a valid SSL certificate
A colleague and I figure this is caused by SharePoint storing content as BLOBs in a backend database and not serving up files directly, but doesn't DropBox do the same thing? Even with DropBox's dl.dropbox.com links I would figure they're store somewhere in a CMS.
