How to programatically install a ipa file in iOS 6

Question

we use iOS private framework MobileInstallationInstall, it worked fine in iOS 5 like this:

typedef int (*MobileInstallationInstall)(NSString *path, NSDictionary *dict, void *na, NSString *path2_equal_path_maybe_no_use);

int result=pMobileInstallationInstall(ipaPath,[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"User" forKey:@"ApplicationType"],nil,ipaPath);

But, in iOS 6, this method (pMobileInstallationInstall) always return -1.

Can somebody help me ? Thanks a lot...

    <string>Install</string>
    <string>Browse</string>
    <string>Uninstall</string>
    <string>Archive</string>
