Download progress bar is not changing progress in iOS enterprise distribution


I am developing and distributing iPad apps via enterprise distribution. They download and execute fine, so everything is ok (the web link, ipa file, plist file, provisioning...).

The "problem" is when the user clicks the link to download, the progress bar in the iPad showing the download progress reads "Waiting..." but is empty and never changes. When it is completed, it changes to "Installing..." and then it shows the installation progress correctly.

For small apps it is not really a problem, but for larger apps it makes the user think that nothing is happening.

Is there a way to show the downloading progress?


Solution

  • This is the default behavior when downloading an app via ad-hoc distribution. You click on the link then you get the Waiting... and after you have the Installing... To my knowledge it is not possible to change that.
