In-house distribution: iOS 7 device "Unable to download app", iOS 8 device has no problem
I have been developing / distributing an iPad iOS app for over a year, but just ran into a problem recently. When I run my code on both iPad iOS 8 and iPad iOS 7 there is no problem. Then I go to the Enterprise Dist configuration profile and create an archive. I am updating my manifest.plist, correctly updating the version number, md5 values, etc. I download everything as usual and when I download the app on my iOS 8 device it installs fine. But now, when I try to download and upload to my iOS 7 device, it says "Waiting ..." for a few seconds, then I get the error: "Unable to load app 'MyAppName' could not be loaded at this time."
I don't understand why I have never had this problem in the past, and it makes no sense to me why it gets installed on another device.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
iOS 7 iPad version: 7.0.4
iPad version iOS 8: 8.3
Xcode version: 6.3.2

UPDATE: For 2 days, I couldn't install the app. Today heck I tried again after making any changes and it worked! Very strange. Still not sure why it won't be installed.

I had the same problem with one application a few months ago.
For some reason on iOS 7 devices I was unable to install, but after a full reboot of one device, it worked. Not really worth it, because, as you might, something is wrong on the operating system side.
So, the workaround for me was to reboot the device , but I don't know why it worked for me and it might not be a solution for everyone.
