Q: Unable to update app on iOS 8.0.2

ScimonsterI recently upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.0.2. I'm running version 1.1.0.124 of the iPad app. Whenever I open the app it tells me to update to 1.1.0.127. I tap update, and opens a certain link in Chrome. I tap install ... and nothing happens. Before upgrading to iOS 8, it would update just fine. Curr...

 
@ShadowWizard I removed both the iPad and iPhone versions, but it's still not working, so now I don't have any SE app available.
@ShadowWizard I reinstalled the iPhone app from the store, but it's not the iPad one.
It works, technically, it's just made for much smaller screens.
Thanks for helping out. :)
 
@Scimonster after you tap install, could you go to your home screen and verify whether the app is getting installed? (It looks like iOS won't send you to the homescreen automatically anymore)
 
@ArieLitovsky No, it's not. I checked that thoroughly.
 
@Scimonster could you try opening the link in Safari and check? You could either disable Chrome from the Setting App -> Stack Exchange -> Disable Chrome. Or you could copy it from the invite e-mail. Chrome is working fine here, so I'm trying to eliminate some causes.
 
@ArieLitovsky Not working from Safari either.

@Scimonster one last thing – try restarting your iPad. Sometimes these types of installs get kind of stuck.
 
@ArieLitovsky Restarted, still no.
 
@Scimonster I've released version 1.1.0.128 – give that a try.
 
@ArieLitovsky Still not working. :(
 
@Scimonster Are you on iOS 8.0.2? It looks like it started breaking on this version.
 
@ArieLitovsky Yeah, i am.
 
1:16 PM
Are you using WiFi when trying to install it?
 
@ArieLitovsky As far as i know. What else would i be using?
 
Well, you could be using an iPad with a 3G connection, which often could have connectivity issues.
 
1:29 PM
I tested with ...129, but that doesn't work either.
@ArieLitovsky I wonder if it's a problem with iOS 8.0.2
 
That's what I thought, but we've had several users on 8.0.2 who reported it works
I am a bit stumped honestly, especially since we can't reproduce it
I am on 8.0.2 as well, but can't repro
 
Wonder if I should take it to Apple.se :)
 
Do you have any parental restrictions on your device?
 
Afaik no
 
Well, it probably wouldn't hurt to try Apple.se, I'll keep thinking/asking around
 
1:36 PM
Ok, thanks
 
No problem, let me know if you discover anything on Apple.se

@Scimonster @Arie I've posted an answer on Apple.SE

A: Unable to install app from web on iOS 8

grgarsideThis appears to be a bug with enterprise distribution in iOS 8. If you updated to iOS 8 and had an app with the same bundle identifier installed (i.e. the same app) then you'll be unable to install the app. A workaround is to change the bundle identifier in the distribution plist. This doesn't r...

 
@grgarside thanks! I'll give that a shot. Did you experience the same issue yourself?
@Scimonster I'll try to push another build here in a minute with an updated bundle identifier
 
Yes, with my own apps and other people's reports. I haven't updated to iOS 8 myself yet as my jailbreak is a higher priority!
 
@Scimonster try installing again, maybe this will be the lucky one
 
2:27 PM
@ArieLitovsky yes, it's finally installing!
 
great! Thanks a ton @grgarside
 
No problem!
 
Yes, thanks for all the help @grgarside and @ArieLitovsky
