Install Error With TestFlightApp?

[Mike Kerner]

Reverse order:
1) Yes, the SDK is for use with XCode
2) I've been using TF for distribution for a couple of years for our
internal corporate apps, and I have run into this before.  Actually, I just
ran into it this past week with the latest update of one of my apps.  In my
case (THIS time), it was #2 (TF profile wasn't installed), but I have had
both version and name issues.  For example, I changed the display name of
my app, and then mistakenly also changed the internal name to match the
display name (but didn't update the development cert).  The app compiled
just fine in LC, uploaded to TF just fine using MergTestApp, but then the
client device had a cow during the install.
3) How are you building the app for TF to distribute it?  I've always used
monte's mergTestApp.  When I do that, when the email goes to the target
device, the first link you have to click on installs the TF provisioning
profile, and then the the app goes in after that.

-- 
On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
