I guess there is something wrong.
I created iOS application using “Project -> Bundle -> iOS Application” and I’ve got two files: .app and .ipa.
I tried to install .ipa on my device via iTunes and it doesn’t work: installation process stucks and nothing happens.
Then I tried to install .app using iso-deploy and it worked. Moreover, I unzipped .ipa file, got .app out of it and installed that .app using ios-deploy - works.
I guess the case with iTunes should also work, right? Currently it doesn’t.

The installation process on iOS is not very verbose in what is going wrong, usually it just hangs or stops with a generic message. Have you triple-checked the provisioning profile you are using and sure it includes the device you are installing on? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20672448/app-stuck-on-installing-ipa-from-itunes

Ragnar you are right as always.
I didn’t notice that several code signing identities were installed on my machine. And I was picking wrong one for my provisioning profile when singing Defold application. XCode picks correct one automatically.
So, I deleted all the provisioning profiles from my machine and reinstall mine. Everything works fine - now I can install the app via iTunes. I still don’t understand what exactly I’ve done though and why I had another code signing identity before.
Anyway, the problem was incorrect “identity + provisioning profile” combination when signing iOS application.
