Ad Hoc distribution for beta testing xcode 4.3

After following the great tutorials from http://www.raywenderlich.com/ on how to submit your app to the app store from square one I started planning my beta test program.

I'm not going to get into details of everything that wen well but of what I'm dealing with right now.

I've read many many posts on how to create provisioning profiles for ad hoc distribution of my app to beta testers. I've focused on those helping user get the app over the air (OTA) after a forum recommendation.

I also know now that TESTFLIGHT is out there but I can't use it this time.

Everything works well except the part where the application actually gets installed on my device. I keep getting the error "Unable to Download Application" after a few seconds of pressing "Install".

There are several possibilities and combinations of certificates, profiles, signatures, and here is where I think I'm doing something wrong. I'd like to show you what I have and what I've done and maybe your experienced eyes can spot my missing step or misconfiguration.

On the iOS Provisional Portal:

1) Ad Hoc distribution profile with a couple of devices:

2) After I download and install my certificates (I've create a couple of each for testing purposes):

3) On my xCode's project configuration:

4) When I generate the archive:

5) I upload everything to my server and then try to get the .ipa to install on my iPhone (which is one of the two devices included on the profile)

And finally I get this:

What could be wrong?

The only difference I can see is in the CodeSigning, ensure both lines under Adhoc point to your certificate.

Second thing to verify: You did not mention the plist that is created during the "Save for Enterprice". Did you upload that to your server, too? And does your link point to this plist? Check out this answer for the plist stuff: How to send the build to already provisioned remote person's iPhone
