Intune IPA and Provisioning Profile

Question

A company has sent me an IPA and .mobileprovision file to test before go-live. I have made the IPA available for download on my device and when I click the app nothing happens (goes back to home screen.)

I create an iOS app provisioning profile using the .mobileprovision file they sent me and assigned it to the same group I assigned the IPA to. Still no change.

Any advice?

Do I need this provisioning profile?

Answer 1

@Justin S. Lee Thanks for posting in our Q&A. From your description, did you mean that you deploy a LOB app to iOS devices and also deploy an iOS app provisioning profile? If there is anything misunderstanding, please correct me.

The provisioning profile is used to prevent apps from expiring. For more details, please refer to the following article.

Do I need this provisioning profile?

It depends on the requirements of the company. Whether it needs to check installation file integrity and enforce the app's capabilities.

Thanks for your understanding.
