Open .mobileconfig file saved in application in safari ios

Question

I'm trying to open a mobile configuration file (mobileconfig) in safari to install it but nothing work. I use URL Scheme:

NSURL *finalURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"myAppURLScheme://%@",fileName]];
BOOL canOpen = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:finalURL];
   if (canOpen) NSLog(@"can open");
   else NSLog(@"can't open");

log --> can open

and i try to set all the path(the file is in the Documents folder) to the file instead fileName, nothing. how can I do it. ?

Edit1: this application do the same(open safari to install configuration)

Edit2: I think that i have to search the way to send file(any) to safari, and safari will know what to do with it.

Answer 1

1. Authorize a background task

.h file :

UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier bgTask;

.m file : In applicationDidEnterBackground add a new background task :

bgTask = [application beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler: ^{
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            [application endBackgroundTask:self->bgTask];
            self->bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
        });
    }];

1. Add CocoaHTTPServer to your project

2. Run the server and open the .mobileconfig file :

       RoutingHTTPServer *httpServer = [[RoutingHTTPServer alloc] init];
       [httpServer setType:@"_http._tcp."];
       [httpServer setPort:12345];
       [httpServer setDefaultHeader:@"Content-Type" value:@"application/x-apple-aspen-config"];
       [httpServer setDocumentRoot:[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]];
   
       if([httpServer start:nil])
       {
           [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:12345/myprofile.mobileconfig"]];
       }
