iOS Question Local B4iBuildServer "Unable To Install" app on device

[michael.cheung.thebus]

Currently using B4i v7.50 and B4iBuildServer v7.50. Device is iPad Air 2, running iOS 14.7.1

Compilation succeeds, bridge prompts to install app - but after pressing "Install", error message appears.

Unable to Install "B4i Example" Please try again later.

One thing I noticed when troubleshooting is that the build server serves the ipa very plainly (i.e. no content-type header, etc.).
As a sanity check, I took the ipa and rehosted it on one of our webservers, and tweaked the plist to point at the hosted ipa - this downloaded and installed on the device without issue.

I'm assuming this can't be the actual issue though, since nobody else seems to have this problem.

Can anyone explain what the issue is / how to get it resolved?

You need to use Apple Configurator 2: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/installing-apps-with-apple-configurator-2.128397/

So it's caused by the newer iOS version... how unfortunate.

Is the physical connection required, or is there a way to get it working without the physical connection?
Needing to physically connect seems very impractical for multiple developers to use the same server.

It is required with a local builder.
