title: wireless iphone app distribution - problem with itms-services protocol
body: <p>I've followed all the directions from <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html" rel="noreferrer">Apple</a> and some other blog <a href="http://jeffreysambells.com/posts/2010/06/22/ios-wireless-app-distribution/" rel="noreferrer">posts</a>. I've archived the app, made .plist and .ipa files, put them on a server and linked to them. I can install the provisioning profile just fine. But when I click on the link to install the app (in safari on the iphone), nothing happens. No error message. Nothing. This is what the link looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&amp;url=http://mydomain.com/test/myApp.plist"&gt;Install the app&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea why this isn't working? It seems the itms-services protocol is just dead. MIME types are fine (I can point to the plist file in the address bar and it displays as text).</p>
