Ad Hoc doesn't get downloaded

I want to distribute my iOS app by Ad Hoc. Since the current version of XCode doesn't create .plist file, so I got one from StackOverflow and filled it as blow.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>items</key>
        <array>
                <dict>
                        <key>assets</key>
                        <array>
                                <dict>
                                        <key>kind</key>
                                        <string>software-package</string>
                                        <key>url</key>
                                        <string>http://hungry.portfolio1000.com/HungryHandongi.ipa</string>
                                </dict>
                        </array>
                        <key>metadata</key>
                            <dict>
                                <key>bundle-identifier</key>
                                <string>com.Akadev.HungryHandongi</string>
                                <key>bundle-version</key>
                                <string>1.06</string>
                                <key>kind</key>
                                <string>software</string>
                                <key>title</key>
                                <string>배고픈 한동이</string>
                        </dict>
                </dict>
        </array>
</dict>
</plist>

The url of the .plist file is: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/tulw9h412me6ayh/HungryHandongi.plist?dl=0

Now I want to let people download the app through the url http://hungry.portfolio1000.com/hungryhandongi.html which is coded like below:

    </head>
    <body>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/tulw9h412me6ayh/HungryHandongi.plist?dl=0">Download</a></li>
        </ul>
    </body> 
</html>

When I open the url with Safari and click 'Download' link, nothing happens. I want know what I've done wrong.

Thank you.

I think you are getting this issue for iOS 8.

Yes for Over the air distribution you need to create plist file manually. and you have to change your identifier like

com.Akadev.HungryHandongi to com.Akadev.HungryHandongi.iOS8fix

Please check below plist , it will help you
