title: iOS 7.1.1 OTA Distribution - Connection failed
body: <p>I've a problem with distributing my iOS App on my iPhone 5c with installed iOS 7.1.1 over-the-air.
  I followed <a href="http://blog.httpwatch.com/2013/12/12/five-tips-for-using-self-signed-ssl-certificates-with-ios/" rel="nofollow">this</a> instruction to get rid of the certificate-problems. My plist looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt;
  &lt;dict&gt;
      &lt;key&gt;items&lt;/key&gt;
      &lt;array&gt;
      &lt;dict&gt;
          &lt;key&gt;assets&lt;/key&gt;
          &lt;array&gt;
              &lt;dict&gt;
                  &lt;key&gt;kind&lt;/key&gt;
                  &lt;string&gt;software-package&lt;/string&gt;
                  &lt;key&gt;url&lt;/key&gt;
                  &lt;string&gt;http://192.168.1.156/App.ipa&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;/dict&gt;
              &lt;dict&gt;
                  &lt;key&gt;kind&lt;/key&gt;
                  &lt;string&gt;display-image&lt;/string&gt;
                  &lt;key&gt;url&lt;/key&gt;
                  &lt;string&gt;http://192.168.1.156/icon.png&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;/dict&gt;
              &lt;dict&gt;
                  &lt;key&gt;kind&lt;/key&gt;
                  &lt;string&gt;full-size-image&lt;/string&gt;
                  &lt;key&gt;url&lt;/key&gt;
                  &lt;string&gt;http://192.168.1.156/icon@2x.png&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;/dict&gt;
          &lt;/array&gt;
  
          &lt;key&gt;metadata&lt;/key&gt;
          &lt;dict&gt;
              &lt;key&gt;bundle-identifier&lt;/key&gt;
              &lt;string&gt;de.app.bundle&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;key&gt;bundle-version&lt;/key&gt;
              &lt;string&gt;1.0.0&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;key&gt;kind&lt;/key&gt;
              &lt;string&gt;software&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;key&gt;subtitle&lt;/key&gt;
              &lt;string&gt;for iOS&lt;/string&gt;
              &lt;key&gt;title&lt;/key&gt;
              &lt;string&gt;AppTitle&lt;/string&gt;
          &lt;/dict&gt;
        &lt;/dict&gt;
      &lt;/array&gt;
  &lt;/dict&gt;

  <p>I'm delivering the plist over nginx 1.7.0 on windows 7 and the mimetype for plist is application/xml.</p>
  
  <p>The itms-services url opened in iOS looks like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&amp;url=https://192.168.1.156/install.plist"&gt;Install App&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to open this link in safari I get a message "Connection to 192.168.1.156 failed". But I cannot see any request in my nginx access logs. So I think that there must be a problem with my link to the plist or with iOS itself. I tried to url-encode the content of the url parameter with same result.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have any idea what's going wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
