Annoying iOS/plist web caching issue

Here’s me prob: I’m developing an app using a Apple Enterprise distribution certificate and a valid, current provisioning profile. An updated version of my app (say version #38), with an updated manifest (.plist) file goes onto the server that we’re using for app testing. The older .ipa (version #37) is removed from the server.

Safari on my iPad still tries to download version #37, even though that version is no longer there and the manifest file now points to version #38. When I address the download page with any other iOS device, that device sees the correct version.

Clearing the web data, entirely, does no good. Shutting down the pad, restarting Safari also do no good. One thing that worked, briefly, was to update the iOS version. That cleared the problem, but for only one try.

It seems that iOS is not really clearing ‘web data’ when asked to, doesn’t it?

Has anybody seen this bloody pain before?
