*I have contacted Apple with this issue and was told that it is beyond their expertise/support to help me and that I basically just needed to post on their developer forums (which is pretty desolate).

I can successfully distribute an app from my Macbook Air, my original dev machine. I am trying to incorporate a 2008 MacPro as well. I really need to be able to distribute apps from the MacPro. I Exported my dev profile and certificates per Apple's instructions and imported them onto the MacPro. I copied the project folder from my macbook (working distribution) to MacPro (not working) and opened it with Xcode. I then built and archived the project, went to Organizer, selected the latest archive, and clicked Distribute. From there I did what I always do: Select the second option for Enterprise, use the proper provisioning profile, and export it to the server it's being hosted on. When I click the link to install the app it starts to download just fine but finishes with the weird no icon image as the app icon and when I try to open it the app just immediately closes.

The site is secured with SSL. I know this because it successfully downloads when distributed from the Macbook Air. I have checked to make sure I am using the correct signing profile per instructions here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ces-with-unregistered-uuids/18642782#18642782. I have looked at both keychains to make sure each certificate matches; they do.

What could be going wrong here? I have made copies of a successful install log and an unsuccessful one, replacing app id's and such with generic names. I will post below:

A good install:

Looks like your project folder might be missing some of the apps image or storyboard assets. Are you using the same version of Xcode on both systems?
