Since moving to ios7 I am unable to distribute my app to my iPad using the ipa and provisioning profile (the same ones that worked just before I upgraded to ios7 do not work either).

This is what I have tried:

  • Remove all profiles from iPad
  • Deleting existing app from iPad and iTunes
  • Add ipa and prov profile to iTunes
  • Reinstalled app from iTunes

The app installs on the iPad saying 'installing' until it appears to have loaded and the app name is shown below the icon. However in iTunes it still says 'installing' and never changes to 'remove'.

If I then unplug the iPad and tap the app to start it it reverts back to 'installing' and then nothing else happens.

You most likely built your archive with an App Store provisioning profile instead of an Ad-Hoc Provisioning profile
