I am trying to deploy an app using the ad hoc method on iOS devices (iPhones). We created a developer account and invited my apple account to join the development team. I managed to setup a provisioning profile and use it in Xcode to build an ad hoc archive.

We uploaded the archive to an URL (the one set in the manifest) and set up a simple install app using href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://..".

The issue I have now is that this works OK for the device I used before during development (iOS 12 iPhone 6), but cannot run the ad hoc app on a second device (iOS 14 iPhone 7), even though I added both devices' UUID to my account. The app installs on the second device but gives the "identity cannot be verified" message when trying to run it.

So in short, I managed to do an ad hoc install only on the device I started developing on - the one that is logged in with my account (not the main developer account that invited me to join the developer team).

I would really appreciate some help - as for me, Apple's overall approach is confusing and messy at this point and there are few replies related to this specific issue.

It isn't enough to add another device to the account. An ad hoc build contains a provisioning profile that explicitly lists all the devices it can run on. That profile is not magically self updating. You have to re-export from the archive with a new provisioning profile that includes the new device.
