NodeJS simple static server

readme.md

How to use

1. create copy of the file index.js;
2. run NodeJS server:

node index.js

AdHoc server

1. save manifest.plist file in the same folder as index.js;
2. create folder apps;
3. save AppName.ipa and app icons(512.png, 57.png) to the apps folder;
4. update URLs inside manifest.plist file: <string>http://<ip-address>:8125/apps/AppName.ipa</string>;
5. run server: node index.js
6. On iPad/iOS open url: itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=<http://<ip-address>:8125/manifest.plist

iPad/iOS will download following files:

• manifest.plist
• AppName.ipa
• 57.png
• 512.png
