I have an app that I'm trying to install via standard OTA ad hoc. On iOS 4.1 The app installs ok. On newer versions (4.3.1 and 4.3.3 tested) the app installs without error, but the icon disappears from Springboard when the install is done. If I restart the device the icon is back.
I have two questions:
Edit: It's the whole icon that disappears, not just the graphics. It is not possible to start the app from Springboard.
If an app has disappeared from your Home Screen, you should first check your App Library and then look for any hidden Home Screens. If those solutions don't work, check the app's installation status through Siri Search or the App Store.
Open the Settings app. Scroll down and tap Home Screen. Select Add to Home Screen, and a blue checkmark will appear next to it. From now on, newly installed apps will show up on your Home Screen.
Icons Disappear from App LauncherIf you haven't tried to restart the device yet, give that a try. Press and hold the “Power” button, then select “Restart“. In many cases, the Home screen will refresh, and the icon(s) will return.
I think this question is similar to this one:
In-House App Disappears After Install
Give it a try, maybe it helps...
Just spent hours sorting out the same problem.
We deliver our AdHoc build over-the-air.
Turns out that when I changed app ID, I didn't change the bundle-identifier parameter in the OTA installation plist.
