Install an IPA on iOS directly from a URL

Upload your IPA on a FTP. Then create a plist file with this format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>items</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>assets</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                    <key>kind</key>
                    <string>software-package</string>
                    <key>url</key>
                    <string>https://sabisin.com/myApp.ipa</string>
                </dict>
            </array>
            <key>metadata</key>
            <dict>
                    <key>bundle-identifier</key>
                    <string>com.sabisin.myApp</string>
                    <key>bundle-version</key>
                    <string>1.0</string>
                    <key>kind</key>
                    <string>software</string>
                    <key>title</key>
                    <string>MyGame</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

Change the url, app id and title name. Then create a simple HTML page:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />
        <title>Install MyGame</title>
        <style>
            html, body { height:100%; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <br/>
        <div style="text-align:center;">
            <h3>Install myApp</h3>
        </div>
        <div style="text-align:center;">
            <img src="icon_57.png" border="0" align="center"></img>
        </div>
        <br/>
        <div style="text-align:center;">
            <a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://sabisin.com/myApp.plist">Install myApp</a>
        </div>
        <br/>
    </body>
</html>

You must have your plist file on a https server.
