I used to drag my .ipa file into iTunes and sync to test my ad-hoc build. The 'new' iTunes (12.7.0.166) doesn't contain apps any more. So how are you getting your .ipa onto your physical device?
I have updated an ipa onto my iPhone this morning in iTunes 12.7 on Mac.
To get the ipa loaded I dragged and dropped the ipa file onto the 'On My Device' panel in the left hand column of iTunes. The status bar indicated that it was syncing the information, and the app loaded correctly.
Hope this helps.
iTunes 12.7 IPA Works 100%
Right click and copy the .ipa file and open iTunes then Find your iPhone under devices on left panel and Right click on your iPhone Name and paste it. Sync the files.
It works 100% for me
Check out my comment above yours. And you can connect to your client's pc with teamviewer etc. and download itunes, thats how i do it.
Thank you! You've saved me any further pain from this 'improvement' by Apple. Even apple Tech Support doesn't seem to know about this!
Thank you! You've saved me!
For those looking for this solution on how to copy .ipas with Big Sur or later, I figured it out - if you drag the .ipa from the Finder window to your phone in the "Locations" section in Finder, it doesn't do anything - but if you drag and drop it over the "General" section within your phone in the "Locations" section, it lets you do it and shows syncing in the progress bar.
