4The correct answer is A. iPads run iOS, so the application package format you need is .ipa, and XenMobile Device Manager expects you to browse to that .ipa file under the Applications tab when uploading an internal (enterprise-distributed) app rather than pulling it from a public store.
Think of app files like shoe sizes: .ipa fits Apple, .apk fits Android. Why would XenMobile ever need the App Store URL for an internal app?
XenMobile does need the App Store URL even for internally distributed apps when you're pushing a managed public app alongside your MDM policy, so the distinction is less about the file format and more about the distribution channel you have configured.
Oh, C is the trap that snags people every single time, so let me stomp it flat. MDX files are for Citrix-wrapped apps that need MDX policies baked in, not just any internal app you want to push to devices. The question never says Citrix-wrapped, it just says internal, so do not let the XenMobile branding hypnotize you into picking C. Now burn this into your brain with the rhyme "iPad needs dot I-P-A, Android gets dot A-P-K, App Store URL is for the public way, MDX is the Citrix-policy play." iPads run iOS and XenMobile Device Manager accepts the native iOS enterprise package format, which is the .ipa file, so you browse to that in the Applications tab and you are done. The answer is A, full stop.
