32-bit ipa file not recognized by iPad

[P5music]

I sent an iOS build with the 32-bit hint but on the target iPad (old iOS version but supported by CodenameOne) the ipa file is not recognized by two different file managers. An app for it is requested, it is not treated as an installable app. The provisioning file includes the iPad id.

I let the link expire, I think, but saved the ipa file.

Before I create another build, I would like to know if the ipa file is something that can be manually installed or only the download link will work.

Thanks in advance

The link will only work on installing via Safari with our QR code or directly from the web app. To install the IPA directly you'll need to sideload via itunes. It can't be installed through a file manager.

I am not testing by myself on the real device, so I have to provide the link or the ipa file to another person.

iTunes cannot be used so the link is the only option, being that the ipa file have to be sideloaded.

I would like to understand whether I can provide the link or the QR image without the tester having the CodenameOne app or my CN credentials.

Is it possible?

It is possible but cumbersome, just look at the raw html in the codename1 download link,

and imagine it rewritten to download from your own site.

Thanks, I will inspect it by curiosity, checking your idea, but I think it is not what I need,

I use this method to be able to download and install old debug APKs after they are no longer

available directly from the codename1 builds.

On iOS it seems a bit more complicated, at least in my instance ,  but I will have a look. Thanks
