Installing a configuration profile on iPhone – programmatically

by

1) Install a local server like RoutingHTTPServer

2) Configure the custom header : 

[httpServer setDefaultHeader:@"Content-Type" value:@"application/x-apple-aspen-config"];

3) Configure the local root path for the mobileconfig file (Documents):

[httpServer setDocumentRoot:[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]];

4) In order to allow time for the web server to send the file, add this :

Appdelegate.h

UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier bgTask;

Appdelegate.m
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
    NSAssert(self->bgTask == UIBackgroundTaskInvalid, nil);
    bgTask = [application beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler: ^{
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            [application endBackgroundTask:self->bgTask];
            self->bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
        });
    }];
}

5) In your controller, call safari with the name of the mobileconfig stored in Documents :

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://localhost:12345/MyProfile.mobileconfig"]];
