Can't use manifest.plist on dropbox
Hello, everyone. I want to use the IPA and plist configuration files placed in Dropbox to perform the installation. However, this setup worked correctly with the old version of Dropbox's shared URLs...

Thanks for reply.
About the URL changes
I have tried the following changes
"https://dl.dropbox.com/s/[field id]/HNSkynet_iOS.ipa"
"https://dl.dropbox.com/s/[[field id]]/HNSkynet_iOS.ipa?rlkey=vog8wjs271ci26n76zduy4eji"
"https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/[[field id]]/HNSkynet_iOS.ipa?rlkey=vog8wjs271ci26n76zduy4eji&st=1h345za3&dl=1"
"itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropbox.com/s/[field id]/manifest.plist"
"itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropbox.com/s/[[field id]]/manifest.plist?rlkey=vwdb1qprzx12q5g37ibwzi7ow"
"itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/[[field id]]/manifest.plist?rlkey=vwdb1qprzx12q5g37ibwzi7ow&st=1h345za3&dl=1"
Although some modifications can be automatically downloaded in Chrome, the installation of iTunes cannot be performed normally.

JNLin, with some you mean those ending with dl=1. Right?
As I said, if such a link is not encoded properly (i.e. the same like you put it in web browser address line), it wouldn't work. Try URL encoding before put the link as parameter. Do you know what is URL encoded? 🧐 If not, just try some web search engine. 😉
Good luck.
