title: Install IPA using itms-services from disk on iOS device
body: <p>Is it possible to install an iOS IPA from disk?  </p>
  
  <p>All of the examples I've seen involve using itms-services to install from a URL off the internet like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NSString* pListUrl = @"itms-services://?action=download-manifest&amp;url=&lt;url to my plist file&gt;"
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:plistUrl]];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem here is that the request via openURL by the system to grab the ipa I suppose assumes that no credentials will be necessary to access it.  I would like to retrieve the IPA securely via my secure socket, and then tell iOS to install from a local file or even NSData.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on how to secure my ipa would be appreciated.</p>
