I have 3 iOS devices:
iPad Mini running iOS 9.3.5
iPod Touch 5G running iOS 9.3.5
iPod Touch 6G running 10.0.2

OTA Install always worked on the iPad Mini and iPod 5G. It still works fine on the iPad Mini but on the iPod 5G I get the CodenameOne page displayed in the browser and touch Install but nothing happens. I do not get the Do you want to install dialog and the app is not updated.

The iPod Touch 6G is new, I had to upgrade as my other two devices would not take iOS 10. It has the exact same problem as the iPod 5G.

If I touch and hold the Install button I get the attached screen. If I touch Open nothing happens. If I do the same on the iPad the install starts when I touch Open.

Any ideas? I have checked browser settings on the iPods they seem the same as the iPad.

I had this for a device that I let my kids play with where I turned on the parental lock.

Not sure what you meant by parental lock. I ended up doing a factory reset of my iPod 5G and had no trouble doing an OTA install.

Back to my new iPod 6G, still could not install. This is a new device so doing a factory reset probably won't help. Decided to delete my existing app, then tried the OTA install and it worked.

Back to my iPod 5G. I installed another one of my apps from the app store. Tried to do an OTA install, same problem, I click Install and nothing happens.

After playing around some more with this it seems that I cannot OTA install over my app store app. I must delete the app first then the OTA install will work. Once I have an OTA install I can update it with new builds without a problem. But I cannot install a development build over an app store install. There is no error displayed, I click on the Install button and nothing happens.

is this new? is it a known issue?

I can probably live with this, I can now get the OTA install to work but I never had this problem before.

Thanks.

I must be tired... I should have suggested that first.

The app from the store is signed by the official Apple certificate. You can't replace an app signed with one certificate with an app signed with another....

Thank you.

Is this new? I don't ever remember running into this before.

I don't think it's new.
