Anybody get this working? My app works fine on my provisioned iPhone5 and iPad3 from xcode, but I need to be able to download them over the air without using a computer and xcode. I archived my app and uploaded the app.ipa and app.plist files but when I go to the iOS Install Screen url I get this error: "There was a problem processing your request. This applications download directory could not be found?” any help?

Yeah, that can be a pain sometimes. It really comes down to PHP settings, although I haven't found the 'magic bullet' yet for settings... In a nutshell, you'll have to modify the 'app.plist' and complete the 'actual' path to your app. By default it uses a little short cut kind of link that doesn't always work. I wrote a tutorial, it might help... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/iOS_OTA.pdf It's not as pretty as the ones done with Clarify, but it might be sufficient. Cheers! -- Smug

Great tutorial! thanks.

However it still didn’t work. 2 things is the problem: Problem #1: the iOPS install URL that the control panel is giving me is: ~~~ http://mydomain.com/download/?id=MYCUSTOMAPPIDNUMBER/platform=ios However, adding that /platform=ios on the end of my custom IP ID # is the problem. If I remove that part from the URL and just type: ~~~ http://mydomain.com/download/?id=MYCUSTOMAPPIDNUMBER then the app shows up fine in my iPad/iPhone safari browser and is telling me to “tap the icon to install” the app. However, after tapping the icon, a 2nd problem arises. Problem #2: For whatever reason, the default buzztouch install is telling my iPod/iPhone this web address to install the app: ~~~ itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://mydomain.com/home/myserverusername/public_html/files/applications/MYCUSTOMAPPIDNUMBER/install-ios/app.plist Somehow it is combining the server path and the domain name together. It is apparently doing this in the /download/index.php file. I hardcoded my /download/index.php to get it to work for the time being.

I'm glad it works for you, but will the index.php file need to be changed every time you do a new app? I also found that a plain old URL to the app will work, if the device is already setup with a provisioning profile... Cheers! -- Smug

That’s correct. I’d have to re-code the index.php file for every new app, which sucks. Also, I tried the direct plain url method to my app “http://www.mydomain.com/myapp.ipa and it did not work. Instead my iPad and iPhone doesn’t recognize the file and asks me if I’d like to open it in another program.

Have you tried http://testflightapp.com Testing it out, and looks wicked :-) Setup was a breeze, added my iPad as soon as I signed up. You can setup "Teams" to send your app to for testing. Cheers Steve

Nice, thanks Steve!

TestFlight is nice, but I've found the solution to using it on buzztouch self-host. 2 things need to be done… #1 - In the /download/index.php file, this line of code: $pListOrAPKURL = "itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=" . fnGetSecureURL(APP_URL) . "/" . $appDirectoryPath . "/install-ios/app.plist"; needs to be changed to this: $pListOrAPKURL = "itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=" . fnGetSecureURL(APP_URL) . "" . $dataDir . "/install-ios/app.plist"; The problem is the "$appDirectoryPath" should just say $dataDir and that extra forward slash is not needed. #2 - in the /bt_v15/bt_app/bt_overTheAir.php file, this line of code: <?php echo $appInstallURL . "/platform=ios"?> needs to be changed to: <?php echo $appInstallURL . "&platform=ios"?> and this line of code: <?php echo $appInstallURL . "/platform=android"?> needs to be changed to: <?php echo $appInstallURL . "&platform=android"?> This correctly adds the ampersand "&" sign to append the url rather than a slash. Maybe BuzzTouch will update that on the next version. And this way, SmugWinp, the code will work for every app in your control panel.

@RawlsEnterprises. Nice one :-)

Sweet. Thanks, I'll mod mine and check it out. :) Cheers! -- Smug

Just clarifying: Change the iOS line from: <?php echo $appInstallURL . "/platform=ios"?> to <?php echo $appInstallURL . "&platform=ios"?> and the Android line from <?php echo $appInstallURL . "/platform=android"?> to <?php echo $appInstallURL . "&platform=android"?> Correct? Cheers! -- Smug

Yes, as you wrote it. Sorry. Typo. I corrected it above.

If you have time, can you read through this and ensure that it also mirrors your experience? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/BTOTA.pdf Cheers! -- Smug

Looks great. All 15 pages. Share with the world. :-) #each1teach1

Wow! Now THAT is what I call collaboration and creating a great Buzztouch community. Both of you deserve a round of applause! @RawlsEnterprises. For coming up with a solution that helps everyone. @SmugWimp. For documenting and creating a "dummy's guide". All 15-pages of it :-) Here's my glass raised with a "Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" Hic! :-)

Works, great. Thanks.
