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.

Thought I’d ask just in case somebody else has experienced this
situation. We have a new Apple Enterprise iOS license for
distributing iOS apps built with LiveCode.  I have configured the our
workstation with the proper profiles, first creating a development
profile and making sure that we could test apps out on a iPad.
Everything in that department works fine.

I then installed our distribution profile and created the same app
with the Enterprise distribution profile. In our school district we
are using Profile Manager (part of OS X Mavs Server) to manage apps
we purchase and, eventually, apps we create. Profile Manager works
fine and we can easily push out apps we puchase over the air.

However, when trying to add an app we developed with our Enterprise
profile,  it spits back: Filetype Not Supported. The file you
selected is not supported. Please choose a different file.

Anybody have any experience with this specific situation?
