I'm trying to create an ad-hoc IPA distribution for an iOS app. I did that by going to Xcode > Product > Archive I followed this link
However I'm getting below error "(null)" is Already installed "(null)" has the same bundle id as (null).. If I drag IPA file directly via Itunes it works fine.
I created an html file with manifest link. It's an https link (on local server with certificates created by openssl)
html file code below
<a href='itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://myhost/files/manifest.plist'>Download IPA</a>
Manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Just remove space " " in software-package name replace
<string>https://myhost/files/ios app.ipa</string>
with
<string>https://myhost/files/iosapp.ipa</string>
This fixed for me.
