App stuck on installing ipa from iTunes

Since moving to ios7 I am unable to distribute my app to my iPad using the ipa and provisioning profile (the same ones that worked just before I upgraded to ios7 do not work either).

This is what I have tried:

  • Remove all profiles from iPad
  • Deleting existing app from iPad and iTunes
  • Add ipa and prov profile to iTunes
  • Reinstalled app from iTunes

The app installs on the iPad saying 'installing' until it appears to have loaded and the app name is shown below the icon. However in iTunes it still says 'installing' and never changes to 'remove'.

enter image description here

If I then unplug the iPad and tap the app to start it it reverts back to 'installing' and then nothing else happens.

Why IPA file is not installing on iPhone?

While installing your iOS app with an . ipa file, sometimes the app install may fail due to an error within the app. It could also fail in the following cases: if iOS Entitlements Support is enabled for your app, and your app is not signed using an iOS Distribution Certificate.

Why is my app stuck on installing iOS?

If apps are still stuck on the waiting, loading, or installing screen, reset all your iPhone's settings. After that, restart your iPhone and try re-installing the app. It should no longer trouble you.

Why are apps taking forever to install?

The problem persists even if you disable Wi-Fi–the most common reason why is a combination of two issues: DNS and Google Play cache. Sometimes you can clear your cache and disable Wi-Fi, and the problem instantly goes away. However, when you do that, you're using precious data.

You most likely built your archive with an App Store provisioning profile instead of an Ad-Hoc Provisioning profile
