Our plist file has one additional section in assets:

        <array>
                            <dict>
                                    <key>kind</key>
                                    <string>software-package</string>
                                    <key>url</key>
                                    <string>http://your.domain.com/your-app/yourBinary.ipa</string>
                            </dict>
                            <dict>
                                    <key>kind</key>
                                    <string>display-image</string>
                                    <key>needs-shine</key>
                                    <false/>
                                    <key>url</key>
                                    <string>http://your.domain.com/your-app/AppIcon.png</string>
                            </dict>
                    </array>

For iOS 7 devices, make sure your link to your plist is using HTTPS.
Example,

<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://your.domain.com/your-app/manifest.plist">Awesome App</a>

https://github.com/bumaociyuan/zxIpaServer
Create a HTTPS Server to install ipa locally

Also the Plist is white-space sensitive. So copy paste a working plist and change only the parts you need.

Hi Team,
looks good. In that case i have some specific requirement.
This is will work only single version ipa file. But I have a multiple versions those are uploaded in server dynamically and need to download and install directly. Please let me know is there any way to do this.

Thanks,
Vadivel. PM

Hi
I have an app distributing enterprise. Now my requirement is when downloading plistfile, alert comes with install and cancel buttons. Once the use clicks on install, I want to take him to home screen so that user can see the progress, But now user not able to see the progress until he clicks on home button.
