I asked this same question a while back.  Maybe even twice.  Can someone from Adobe please let us know if AIR for iOS supports enterprise or not?  And if so SPECIFICALLY how to do it.  I've gone though this a million times with clients assuming that the ipa generated should have no problem and yet the enterprise distribution certificates seem to not be correct when the organization attempts to deploy.  I'm working with a good number of pretty smart people here in some very large well known organizations and we can't figure this out and NO ONE IS HAPPY about it.

If I ever find out, I'll be sure to let you know.

That feature is not fromally supported in Flash CS5.5, so you need a little tricky method for this.

Below is a workaround, for your reference:

Is it possible to do ios enterprise distribution from flash builder?  Or is the above hack still required?  Is there any new from adobe about addressing this?

Thanks!

Has anyone got an answer on support for enterprise distribution support in Flash Builder (no Macs, so XCode not available)?

I echo David's, it sure would be nice to get some sort of response from Adobe on this, before I have to commandeer a coworkers Mac and hack the build using the previous link.  Would really like to avoid that if at all possible.

Thanks

I can confirm that this works.  Build the app on Flash Builder using your enterprise distribution cert. and provisioning file. Build for app store distribution. Resulting ipa is ready for installation via iTunes or can be set up to distribute over-the-air to in- house users.

@ianjgordon, could you please clarify the process? I understand it like this:

1. build an ipa with FB pointing to the right cert and prov. file

2. create a new plist file

3. upload the ipa to your server ( manually, over ftp etc. )

I have problems understanding step 2:

- Why would you create a new plist file, the ipa from FB already contains one and is pointing the right cert and profile.

- you do not mention how you include the newly created plist in your app package. And if you do this, how do you return it to an ipa again? I know an ipa is just a zip file, but from my experience, just zipping the package and renaming the suffix to "ipa" will not give you a valid package to install on a device.

Thank you very much for clarifying this step!

I faced a similar situation with the ad-hoc distribution just not with an enterprise licence. I've summarised my findings here: http://teampokpok.com/2012/air-for-ios-dev-usin-windows-pc/

It covers a lot of what is mentioned above and the resources I used to compile the steps. Hope it helps.

@adijans, unfortunately the page you linked to does not exist...

@colin thanks for cleaning up the link.  I hope it can be useful to people now. :-)

What kind of cert fif you used ?

inHouse ? Appstore release ? Entreprise appStore

InHouse Certs seems to not to have an Private key to make an .p12 file

Any idea ?

Thanks !

I have no enterprise account, only developer account. I tried the following,

Build .ipa file from .swf file with development certificate. (I can sync the resulting .ipa file onto my itouch through itunes and launch the app without problem.)

Created the .plist file and .html file as instructed in this thread.

Upload all 3 files to my website.

Visit the .html file on my itouch and click the link. (same itouch that syncs the app without problem)

The app appears to start installing after I confirmed the install. But after the installation the app icon just disappears. I tried to build for test, app store, and ad-hoc, all same result.

What am I missing? Is the enterprise certificate the key here? Or should I use distribution certificate? I saw somewhere people say distribution certificate is same as development certificate except for push notification.

Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

One precision, to deploy in In House mode, you have to select "In House" for the mobile provision type, not "Ad Hoc"

Hi, Germain,

I have only individual developer license, not enterprise developer license. So I guess the in house part doesn't apply to me.

Have you had success deploy over the air with individual developer license?

Thanks, Colin. That actually dashed my hope of using a distribution certificate to make it work.

Can you spot anything that I did wrong in my attempt then? Should I remove the provision file from my itouch first before doing the OTA installation?

I do have the full path to the ipa file. I guess I will try with a distribution certificate and provisionfile anyway. I saw the BetaBuilder instruction says "Create your provisioning profile for an ad-hoc build with whatever devices you want to allow."

Finger crossed.

BTW, my manifest.plist file is actually called <my app name>.plist. I do have the html file matching the name. That's OK, right?

NO SUCCESS. The icon still disappears after the install bar grows full.
