I considered this problem for a long time and went on to many questions that helped clarify something, but now I get new warnings and errors in the device logs, and I can not decrypt them.
First, I got the following:
<Warning>: LoadExternalDownloadManifestOperation: Ignore manifest download, already have bundleID:
which would not even hit the installation, but I followed these steps: iOS 8 - The Enterprise App could not be installed. We made some changes to the package ID and manifest file, and it will try to start the download.
However, now I get the following errors / warnings, and I'm not sure what causes them:
<Notice>: 0x101dcc000 -[MIInstaller performInstallationWithError:]: Installing <MIInstallableBundle ID=com.bundle-name; Version=3.0, ShortVersion=(null)> <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such process <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such file or directory <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such file or directory <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such file or directory <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such file or directory <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such file or directory <Error>: 0x198de7310 Device-O-Matic: iterate_ancestors IORegistryEntryGetParentIterator failed: No such file or directory
and:
<Warning>: LaunchServices: Creating installProgressForApplication:<LSApplicationProxy: 0x13cf84870> com.bundle-name(Placeholder) withPhase:3 <Warning>: LaunchServices: installPhaseFinishedForProgress: com.bundle-name.InstallingPlaceholder - <NSProgress: 0x13e003120> : Parent: 0x0 / Fraction completed: 0.0000 / Completed: 0 of 100 called, removing progress from cache
and
<Error>: Could not set socket option SO_OPPORTUNISTIC: Invalid argument
Any help deciphering them and shedding some light will be greatly appreciated.
Update:
I came back and checked iOS 7.1.1 and it could not install there, so I switched the iPA file identifier file back to ftp: // and it worked again with 7.1.1, but iOS8 gives the following warning and does not work to download the application :
<Notice>: Invalid URL scheme for background tasks: ftp. Valid schemes are http or https
but switching IPA url to HTTPS means that the application does not load for both iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 8.1
