Frequently Asked Questions

DropOnAir uses Apple’s native Over-The-Air (itms-services://) installation protocol. When you upload an Ad-Hoc, Enterprise, or Development signed .IPA file, DropOnAir automatically extracts your Bundle ID and Version and serves an HTTPS XML manifest.plist so testers can install directly from Safari with a single tap.
