Creating SSL Local network for downloading an iOS app from local

I want to create a local SSL network to download an IPA file from it. What should I do?

I have a manifest.plist file and a application.ipa file and I put that on a website recently and it worked fine(download and install on iOS).

itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://mywebsite/manifest.plist

I want to give a local service to my customers so I should have a https://mylocaladdress.

I have a mikrotik router and a lot of problems.

Could I create that local network? If yes how?

Solution

  • As long as your router can server HTTPS-requests, this should "just work", as long as the router address is fixed.

    So you might need a (self-signed?) certificate on the router

    Remember that you'd also have to modify the manifest.plist file -- this is typically in XML format -- so that it links to the .ipa Installation file (as well as some links to icons) on the router.
