    In my situation I actually just reuse the .plist file between builds that is generated if you were to click the “Save for Enterprise Distribution” checkbox when you are about to save the .ipa file. The value I had typed in for the “bundle-identifier” key had an old APPID instead of the one the app is currently distributed under. Correcting this error and reinstalling the app from our website fixed the problem.

    Essentially adding a missing .app. to our bundle-identifier allowed the application to install properly and stay on the homes creen without need for reboot.

    from:

    <key>metadata</key>
        <dict>
            <key>bundle-identifier</key>
            <string>com.mycompany.MyApp</string>

    to:

    <key>metadata</key>
        <dict>
            <key>bundle-identifier</key>
            <string>com.mycompany.app.MyApp</string>
