@asitishere This is a valid exception since you are trying to run .app extension on physical device. Physical devices would require apps with .ipa extension.

[asitishere]

ok so you suggesting if i will pint a .ipa with a valid cert and developer profile . It will install the app...

In that case what will be the JSON structure for iOS ?

[KrishnB]

Yeah thats correct. The JSON structure would remain same. You will have to store the .ipa file under app folder and update the app name in test feed to <appname>.ipa

[asitishere]

Thanks...
