Question

Another "itunes Sync *app* Failed to install" thread

Hi,

I am having some major provisioning problems, and i dont want to hijack the other thread.

My Macbook Air crashed after trying to install a thunderbolt driver in July and i lost my dev environment.

I reinstalled OS, downloaded my sources and i can debug the SW in the emulator.

But i can no longer get it to install on any device. I have tried both a iphone 4 and an ipad 3.

environment:

osx 10.8

Air 3.4b2

xcode 4.4.1

IOS 5.1.1

IOS language:Swedish

After reading the forum and pretty much half of the internet today I have tried the following.

1. I revoke all certs in apple developer portal

2. i remove all mobile provisioning files

3. I export a cert request from Keychain access. ( Shall i export a special Key?, I export without having chosen a specific key in Keychain access)

4. I use the certsigningrequest to create a new development cert.

5. I download the new cert, doubleclick it and export a .p12 file by chosing Keys-><my name>->privatekey->export.

6. I create a new mobile provisioning profile file in the portal chosing my full Appid 5625GW2MUW.com.elsheep.parken.MobileClient.

7. I download this file, and drag it to itunes.

8. i compile my .ipa using the exported .p21 file and the dev provisioning file.9. i install the .ipa in itunes by doubleclicking on it.

10. I synk the file onto my ipad.

and it bombs.  

Should i be able to install a file with development cert/profile, or do i need to use an ad hoc one ( I have tried this and i get the same fault.)

xcode clains that the provisioning pofile is valid

Using iphone configuration utility i can see this in the ipad log:

This is truly driving me crazy.

Does anyone have any good ideas? the .ipa is quite large, 123 MB as I have included a lot of assets ( it is an art/photo app). COuld this be a part of the problem?

regards,

/Lars

Given all of the information you gave, I wonder about this part:

5625GW2MUW.com.elsheep.parken.MobileClient

That is the exact app id known by the Apple system. The App ID you would use in Flash would be:

com.elsheep.parken.MobileClient

Make sure that you're not using the 5625GW2MUW part.

in my app.xml file i have removed the 56...W part.

To make sure, I changed the App ID, and that gives me another fault during compilation, so I believe I have the right App ID.

Are you using Flash Pro? If you are, make sure the numbers part is not in the settings too, because if you delete it just from the xml, Flash will put it back again.

Just wondering if you have tried to determine if its the generation of ipa files on your Mac that is failing or if its installing on iTunes that is the problem. You could either send your ipa file to someone else to try and install on their iPad, republishing as needed to allow another iPad to install it, or retrieve someone else's ipa file, from a tutorial or whatnot to see if you can install that. Then at least you can confirm a couple things , that its not a iTunes issue, and also that its not something specific to your iPad.

Good point.

I wil try to build a small .api and see if i can deploy it.

I have tested the current .api on two devices, one ipad and one iphone 4 with the same result.
