A burgeoning collection of tools for Over-The-Air distribution of mobile applications.
OTA Tools started off as 2 disparate gists. One was a bash script for resigning an iOS IPA file. The other was a sample plist and HTML file combo for serving an iOS app for Over-The-Air distribution. When the later gist was updated with a script for generating the combo, they were joined together to create a tools package. These tools have saved me countless hours so they are being offered under the MIT license.
##Contents:
ipa_ota - generate basic plist and html combo for ota hosting
ipa_sign - sign ipa with a keychain certificate and replace its provision
app.plist - simple plist example
index.html - simple hosting flatfile example
##Usage:
ipa_sign takes an ipa file, provision file, and the name of the certificate in your keychain that you want to sign with.
~/Dropbox/Public/enterprise_builds rbronosky$ ./ipa_sign ~/Downloads/app.ipa ~/provisions/Huge_Enterprises.mobileprovision "iPhone Distribution: Huge Enterprises Inc."
App has BundleIdentifier 'com.example.myapp' and BundleVersion 2.5
App has provision 'iPhone Developer', which supports 'HDXJ2G3FGJ.com.example.*'
Embedding provision 'provision for My App', which supports 'HDXJ2G3FGJ.com.example.myapp'
Payload/myapp.app: replacing existing signature
Calling ipa_ota creates a basic plist in the current directory and outputs a single line for including in an existing HTML file.
~/Dropbox/Public/enterprise_builds rbronosky$ ./ipa_ota app.ipa http://dl.dropbox.com/u/310759/enterprise_builds/
<p><a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/310759/enterprise_builds/app.plist">Install Enterprise App</a></p>
The script can detect when it is being redirected to a file. In this case it outputs an entire HTML file.
~/Dropbox/Public/enterprise_builds rbronosky$ ./ipa_ota app.ipa http://dl.dropbox.com/u/310759/enterprise_builds/ > download_app.html
~/Dropbox/Public/enterprise_builds rbronosky$ cat download_app.html

####Note: It has been reported that on Mountain Lion, you may see an error like this:
Payload/MyApp.app: object file format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable
Googling suggests that you can resolve this by setting an env var like so:
export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate"
I have never seen this, so I can't directly speak for it.
