# This script installs a .mobileprovision file without using Xcode. Unlike Xcode, it'll 
# work over SSH.
#
# Requires Mac OS X (I'm using 10.7 and Xcode 4.3.2)
#
# IMPORTANT NOTE: You need to download and install the mpParse executable from http://idevblog.info/mobileprovision-files-structure-and-reading
# and place it in the same folder as this script for this to work.
#
# Usage installMobileProvisionFile.sh path/to/foobar.mobileprovision
