I have been stuck with this weird problem for a while now. The Ad-hoc IPA is stuck with 'installing' message forever in ipod touch 5th gen.
Here is the console output at the time of installation :

Is it related to Provisioning Profiles? I followed Somewhat-same-issue this post and checked the file as suggested but its still the same.
Has anyone else been facing this issue?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
So the problem was with the Device Profile.
I forgot to add my iPod Touch in the Device list.
