iOS 9 became more strict with the manifest information:the tag,the value,or something else.

I have met another problem.But I think maybe will give you some useful information.

The way to find out why,the most important step is to check you device log.It will show you the installation error information.

I find the problem is that I mistake the bundle-identifier value.

I find if you mistake the bundle-identifier value,the iOS 9 will not allow you to install the app,but iOS 8 or lower version will not check bundle-identifier value.

The installation error information from my iOS 9 device:

Pay attention to the log(I hide the bundle Id because of privacy.):

20:40:09 ifeegoo itunesstored →  <Warning>: BundleValidator: Failed bundleIdentifier: com.***.**** does not match expected bundleIdentifier: com.***.*********

The most important to solve this problem is to check the device log.

Here's an example of a .plist we're using

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>items</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>assets</key>
            <array>
                <dict>
                    <key>kind</key>
                    <string>software-package</string>
                    <key>url</key>
                    <string>urlWhereIsYourIpaFile</string>
                </dict>
            </array>
            <key>metadata</key>
            <dict>
                <key>bundle-identifier</key>
                <string>bundleWithoutSpaces</string>
                <key>bundle-version</key>
                <string>1.0</string>
                <key>kind</key>
                <string>software</string>
                <key>title</key>
                <string>nameOfApp</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

And in an html file we call the plist with the following:

<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/{some random chain}/example.plist">
           <img src="an image if you want" height="57" width="57" />
         </a>

We don´t have the SSL in our server so what we do is to upload the .plist to dropbox and share the link, but if you have an https you can use that url without problems.

Hope this helps, we had the problem that our bundle-identifier had spaces so in iOS 9 that wasn't working but after removing the space it worked as always
