Ad Hoc distribution app is gray, after transfer from iTunes to iPhone

Question

I've been develoming an app and is at a stage now where i want to make other ppl able to tst out my app. I've created a Ad Hoc provisioning profile and build an .ipa file with archives. After that i added the .ipa file to iTunes apps library and sync'ed iTunes with my iPhone. After this i look at my phone and the app is grayed out and if i press it it writes installing, but never gets done installing.

I've tried to recreate my certificat + profile + ipa file. And i did uninstall the debug app that was on my device, before i transferred the one with a ad hoc profile.

Ov, and as a side note the app works 100% if i just build a release build through xCode, and use xCode to transfer it, but i NEED that .ipa file so that solution wont cut it for me.

What am i doing wrong here, plzzz help?^^

SOLUTION: Don't use " "(space) in the file name of the .ipa file

Answer 1

Are you 'distributing' the application and saving for ad-hoc/enterprise deployment ? The chances are the provisioning profile you created doesn't have the device UDID in it. Check on the dev portal that your ad hoc profile has that device included.
