Installing an App onto an iPad that's not on the App store?

[.Simon]

Hi All,

Our company has a bespoke App for one of our aircraft that's been tweaked for our needs - the problem is that this updated app is not available on iTunes.

Is there anyway of getting this App onto the iPad without jail-breaking it?

Cheers,
Simon

Not tried it, but this looks ok? http://www.copytrans.net/support/install-apps-to-iphone-ipad-and-ipod-touch-without-itunes/

Or drag the app into itunes

Or drag the app into itunes

Won't that only work if it's an ad-hoc app?

Thanks TomB will take a look!

Tom - that doesn't work, tried earlier! Even tried copying to mobile application folder!

Sorry is it unsigned?, looks like the developer of the app will need provide you with a profile to install it.

It's on the App store however the developer has customised the App for our actual aircraft so it's not available to the public.

I'll give the link above a go tomorrow - one of our pilots has it installed already however he is away at the moment and will not be around before our training tomorrow!
