Installing Clik2 iPhone AdHoc Distributions

We now distribute AdHoc distributions as a ZIP file....

The zip contains

#1 SomeApp.ipa
#2 AdHocSomeAppYYMMDD.mobileprovision

SomeApp.ipa is an iphone application with icon / artwork in it ...

This is Mac and Windows friendlier .....

Here's what we do to install/test it on our devices:

#1 Unzip xxx.zip so you have the 2 files above

#2 On iphone, delete old "SomeApp" app (if you have one)

#3 On iphone, go to settings, general, Profile .... This is where provisioning profiles are stored on the iphone. Delete all of the ones from us:

- Clik2_Dev_PP.mobileprovision (one we use for development, you won't have this)

- AdHocSomeAppYYMMDD.mobileprovision (older ones we may have given you, you may have this)


NOTE: you may have others that you should NOT delete... only delete ones that you know came from us .... You also may have 1 or more jailbroken MPs (mobile provisions)


#4 Launch iTunes (9.0.1+), go to applications, find the old "SomeApp" app, right/control click, delete, move to trash (if this is your first install you won't have an old "SomeApp" there)

#5 Quit itunes, then relaunch it ...

#6 Select both of the files SomeApp.ipa and AdHocSomeAppYYMMDD.mobileprovision, then drag them to iTunes in the dock (mac) or to iTunes Application menu item (windows) .... SomeApp should now appear in the applications section of iTunes.

#7 Quit itunes and relaunch. Check applications and it should have the SomeApp app listed with a proper icon.

#8 Attach iphone, check that "sync all applications" is checked AND that SomeApp is checked , then sync...
