If you have already installed app on your device  try to change bundle identifer on the web  plist  not app plist  with something else like  com vistair docunet-test2   after that refresh webpage and try to reinstall    It works for me

I was struggling with this  my app was installing but not complete  almost 60  I can say  in iOS8  but in iOS7 1 it was working as expected  The error message popped was    Cannot install at this time      Finally Zillan s link helped me to get apple documentation   So  check    make sure the internet reachability in your device as you will be in local network  intranet   Also make sure the address ax init itunes apple com is not getting blocked by your firewall proxy  Just type this address in safari  a blank page must load      As soon as I changed the proxy it installed completely  Hope it will help someone
