How to generate html file to give download link to manifest.plist file in order to install ipa to iphone

Question

I have used jenkins to build by xcode iphone project using xcbuild packageApplication by giving its global path to jenkins.Use provisional profile including device UDID.It is generating ipa file successfully but how can we distribute it using html file in jenkins.I have written a shell script to generate manifest and other jenkins setup and it is working fine.My code is as follows:-

setting up build _ parameterized

setting up post build actions in jenkins configuration.

#!/bin/sh

function fail {
    echo "$*" >&2
    exit 1
}

function section_print {
    echo "\n=== $* ==="
}

section_print "Building $CONFIGURATION";

if [ -z $CONFIGURATION ]; then
    fail "No configuration specified";
    exit 1;
fi

#strange way to force backslash

    PROJDIR=${PROJDIR%/}
    PROJDIR="$PROJDIR/"
    section_print "Project Dir is specified and is $PROJDIR"
    cd "$PROJDIR" || fail "no directory $PROJDIR"
    pwd
fi

Answer 1

append code to create html file in shell script

cat << EOF > ${WORKSPACE}/download.html
<html>
<body>
<h1>Download IPA Here</h1>
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://192.168.0.237:8080/job/$JOB_NAME/ws/manifest2.plist" mimeType="application/octet-stream">
    <b>Install App</b>
</a>
</body>
</html>
EOF

and some changes to publish action show download file on artifacts.
