Enterprise (Apple) License Distribution

[Simon]

Anybody have any notes on how to deploy stacks for iPad using Enterprise License?

THX,
Simon

Oh, I forgot there were a couple of things.
WOW RevMobile! I just dropped one of my old stacks in and it ran in the iPad simulator! Sure not perfectly but with a few tweaks (mostly dumbing down the code) I had a RunRev iPad demo running. How cool is that?
Because of a rush project we paid out a lot of clams to contract an xcode version of our Rev app when I see that I could nearly get the whole thing done with RevMobile preAlpha!
Yes, nearly. Is there a "launch document" for iOS yet? Need to launch pdf's in that Preview type app on the iPad.

Thanks,
Simon

Hope that Director for iPad will come in the near future. It would be a reallife saver for me.

Greetings!

I really need help with enterprise distribution on a website.

I know that I need:
App.ipa file
manifest.plist file

I am reading from:
http://help.apple.com/iosdeployment-app ... pp43ad871e
..but this tutorial is basically for xCode. Now, I need to know where can I get the MANIFEST file in case of LiveCode...or how can I create that?

I checked:
/Applications/LiveCode 5.5.3.app/Contents/Tools/Runtime/iOS/
...but there are many folders inside this (unlike Android's)

Thanks much for reading this!

Hi genie,
I can tell you how to distribute via a web download but it's not what Apple says. Not that this method is wrong or or contrary to Apple rules.

Build your standalone .app then just zip it. myApp.zip
I hope you have your .mobileprovision made, I'm not going to try and talk you through that craziness.

Go here: http://www.diawi.com/index.php and upload both myApp.zip and your .mobileprovision files. They will provide you with a link that you can email to your users.

This does work and I have used it many times. But as you can see there is no .ipa or manifest file.

Simon
BTW there are many other ways to do this I just use this one.

Thanks for your response, Simon.

Yeah, I have tried diawi.com before. It would generate a link lke www.diawi.com/ohsert834i from where we can download the app. And yeah, it works.

Hmmm...
My client is making the app available on their website. They are using a using this kind of link from the tutorial I mentioned:
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://example.com/
manifest.plist">Install App</a>
..but their problem is, it doesn't work.

Ok I was on a no cost solution.

This is the way LiveCoders do it:
http://www.runrev.com/store/product/airlaunch/

Doesn't cost much.

Thanks Simon!

So...I just referred to the sample manifest file here... https://gist.github.com/hramos/774468...and I created my own using my app's details of course. Then, it worked!

It's all okay now. Thank you!
