inHouse Distribution error "Cannot connect to (null)"

Question

Hi I try to configure inHouse distribution for ios. But when I click to link I always see this alert: "Cannot connect to (null)".

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Please help me. 3 day and still nothing.

This is my html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/***/***/manifest.plist?dl=0">Install App</a>

</body>

</html>

This is my manifest.plist file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<dict>

<key>items</key>

<array>

<dict>

<key>assets</key>

<array>

<dict>

<string>software-package</string>

<string>https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/***/***/***.ipa?dl=0</string>

</dict>

</array>

<key>metadata</key>

<dict>

<key>bundle-identifier</key>

<string>com.***.project-ios</string>

</dict>

</array>

</dict>

</plist>

I'm having the same issue. Is there really no-one who's had something similar? This must be a common error?

Answer 2

Our plist has a few more values in it after the bundle identifier:

<key>bundle-version</key>
<string>1.15</string>
<key>kind</key>
<string>software</string>
<key>title</key>
<string>Our Title</string>

It works, but we're serving it from our own server, not DropBox. It could be Apple's itms service doesn't like DropBox links?

If you look at the console output of the device you are trying to install it on, does it give you any more error messages, etc.?
