Enterprise iOS License Distribution...

[J. Landman Gay]

I don't know anything about Profile Manager, so take this with a grain 
of salt. But my guess is that it only recognizes Mac apps, and a iOS app 
is a different beast entirely and requires a different kind of 
installation. Also, as far as I know, Apple prohibits remote 
installation on iOS devices, so I doubt a bulk install is possible. It's 
a walled garden.

There are a few utilities that allow you to create ad-hoc installations 
where the files are stored on a web site or server. My AirLaunch is one, 
Monte has mergTestApp which integrates with the TestFlight web site, and 
there are other web sites out there too.

To install an iOS app you need an html file that points to a special 
manifest file, which in turn initiates the download of the actual app to 
the device.
