I have used Appcelerators Titanium to create an App, and was about to deploy it to my iPad for testing when i ran into some issues. When i try to install the IPA thats been generated through Titanium and Xcode, i get this error:
Can't install application
The Info.plist for application at /Users/User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/myapp.ipa specifies a CFBundleExecutable of myapp, which does not exist
I've spent a couple of hours messing with the certificates, but Xcode says that the certificates are fine, and the target iPad is in the provisioning profile. The provisioning profile is also installed onto the iPad. This is driving me nuts, and i can't seem to figure it out.

Our Automation QA team require a simulator build of the test app. Getting below error while building:
Is It Possible to Build and Distribute Simulator builds in AppCenter?
I have contacted Appcenter's Helpdesk. Following is their response :
You can build and distribute apps in App Center that can run on simulators and also on real devices.
For Android, if the build has been correctly signed, the APK can be installed on a real device and deployed to the Play Store. If the build has not been signed, the APK can be run on an emulator.
For iOS simulator, it is required for you to properly code sign the app. You can learn more about code signing for iOS here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/build/ios/code-signing
Then please see the steps below to set up code signing when building your app in App Center:
To sign the builds produced from a branch, enable code signing in the configuration pane and upload a provisioning profile (.mobileprovision) and a valid certificate (.p12), along with the password for the certificate.
Download the ipa file to install on a simulator.
I'm trying to distribute a beta version of an app OTA. I'm using team provisioning profile and through Xcode it runs fine on my iPhone. When I click the download link it shows me the usual popup and the app starts downloading but before the progress bar makes any progress I get "Unable to download application at this time". Console shows absolutely nothing.
Verify that the bundle-identifier key is the same as the one which you have used to build the ipa file. Also bundle-version key should be the same as the one in the ipa
I just upgraded to xCode 4.3 and used it to generate a new revision of an iPad app about 50 beta testers have been using for several months. I distributed the beta app through TestFlight as usual.
Most testers upgraded with no problem, but several testers are getting the TestFlight message "You have not permitted this device to install this build" when they try to install the new rev. I've never seen this message before. Their iPad UDID is definitely in the build's embedded.mobileprovision file and everything was working working fine with the prior revision.
What am I -- or the testers -- doing wrong and how do we correct it?
Hi i experienced the same and it seems that you must generate your mobile provisioner profile from Xcode(instead of Apple dev site for example) and you should update your App permissions (TestFlight) with this same provisioner profile that you just generated on your machine so basically the machine that generates and archive the apps using Xcode must generate the provisioner profile and then you should update your testflight app permissions with this file.
Does that make any sense?
Hope this works for you testflight is really nice to use, i faced same problems with all of my apps and hardware devices (testers all around the world)
Thanks
Turns out this is apparently a bug in Testflight. I tried to resolve the issue through their support forum and multiple emails with no real answer. I did not want to switch services as my testers knew the Testflight system well. But eventually switched to Diawi. My testers were able to install the app using Diawi with no problems.
I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 and i'm installing a iphone application from xcode to test it, this works fine. I also have a iPhone 3gs that was given by my university to install the application, this is also jailbroken but when i try to install it i get "a valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found". How can i fix this? (also i do have a developers account, my university lecturer added me but he hasnt activated the account yet and he takes ages to respond to emails -i need to test it now but not sure why that error appears?). Would appreciate some help on this matter..
I assume the provisioning profile you are running doesn't include the UDID of the device you're trying to run on. This requires logging in to the Provisioning Portal and adding the device, then downloading the new profile and installing it on your device.
After using the "iPhone Configuration Utility" program to install IPA applications to my iPhone on the go, I wondered how this process worked. Within a few Google searches, I found out about "MobileDevice.framework" and the "MobileDevice Library" connected to it. After reading an article of all the Known Functions in the library, I found one called "AMDeviceInstallApplication". I thought this would work once I saw install, but I'm currently perplexed on how to use it.
TL;DR I have IPA files and I want to make an Xcode program (for Mac) that installs the IPA's application to a connected iOS device when a button is pressed.
Also, don't worry about the application not being signed correctly. It is signed with a provisioning profile installed on devices [the application] will be used with.
If you're still interested in this problem I've written a blog entry on how to install apps on a connected iPad / iPhone without using Xcode or iTunes.
This method allows you to run a Terminal command to install an iPA file.
http://pervasivecode.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/install-ios-app-ipa-file-without-xcode.html
I suppose you could bundle up the terminal commands in your application and use it that way?
I found a simple way to install iPa file to real iPhone or iPad:
Connect iPhone to Mac via USB and follow the below steps:
Steps to follow:
Open Xcode
Click on Window
Select Devices and Simulators
Drag and drop the IPA files into it
App got installed on the iPad
