I Tunes sync failed to install

I have been trying desperately to figure this out and cannot. I'm testing a simple two button app created using Flash CS5.5 publishing to AIR for IOS, I get no errors, the adl playback is fine, my trace statements work yet when I drag the .ipa into Itunes I see it in my app section, soon as I go to sync I get the msg

I Tunes Sync

appname failed to install.

Very very frustrating as I checked every possible thing I could think of, errors in the actionscript etc.

anybody ????????

I don't use an asterisk in the app name.

I'm using Flash Develop on Windows, and building my .ipa's using the command line adt command.

I don't know what hardware you're using, but I followed this:

Ok found my problem, in the app id I used a reverse url then an asterisk which allows me to change the name of the app without writing a new prov profile. I did this but before the asterisk there needed to be a (.) and I caught this after watching the vid another 3 x

finally done and can put this behind me!

there is a god!

Is the Device UDID in the Provisioning Profile?

What device are you testing on?

What does your application descriptor look like?

Ok, The device UUID is in the provisioning profile as I just checked

I'm testing on an IPad2 and IPhone 4

I revoked the first certificate I did and re did it making sure I covered each step correctly and did so.

At first I thought it may have been something in the.as file but as mentioned the Flash checks out thru the adl and I have no errors in debugging.

Then I changed the pref in the AIR publishing to pub for IPhone, saved and got the same error on there.

Just to double check I did a second fla with just an image, no actionscript. Tried to drag that to the Ipad and I got the same thing so thats where Iam.

When you write app discriptor do you mean the description in the app id?

Is this what you mean?

The app descriptor, I mean the XML file that you're using to build.

If its failing to install I don't think it has anything to do with your code as it's not getting that far.

Are you targeting the correct type of .ipa when you build?
