Question

iOS app fails to install on iPod touch using flash professional cs5.5

I am having trouble testing apps on my 3rd generation iPod touch. The very first app I tried to put on there worked, the app was called mynewapp. Then I tried to put another app on there using the same provisional profile and same app id, the app failed to install. It didn’t matter if mynewapp was on my iPod touch or not. No matter what app I tried to put on my iPod touch they all failed to install, the only one I could get on there was mynewapp. I even created an app with the exact same code as mynewapp and this new app failed to install.

Then I created a new provisional profile using the same app id that my first profile was using. I tried putting an app using the new provisional profile this app failed to install for the second time. The first time it was using the old profile.

Then I created a new provisional profile with a new app id and I took an app and tied it to this new profile and app id this app seemed to install on the iPod touch. Right now only two apps can be installed on my iPod touch each app is using a different profile and app id. If I were to copy one of these apps and use the copy that was just created to replace the old version on my iPod touch the app would failed to install.

I have spent over a week trying just about everything to fix this problem. I remember reading that multiple apps can have the same app id.

I’m using a windows 7 64 bit computer with flash professional 5.5. Furthermore iTunes, Flash pro, AIR and my iPod touch are all up-to-date.

What could be the problem?

I’m sorry if this seems so long it is just I have tried many different things.

I have made 2 apps.

I made them at the same time, I created provisioning profiles at the same time. One installs, the other fails.

The only difference I can think of is that the failing one has external code while the successful app has code only in the frames.

Any ideas?

If i see the following generic informationless popup it reminds me of Numan in Jurassic park repeatedly says "ah ah ah you didn't say the magic word"

    I have a 32GB iPod touch, my device is supported by the newer AIR. I figured out the problem, both app IDs I had didn't use the wildcard symbol, because of that I could only install two apps on my iPod touch. When I created a wildcard app ID then it fixed the problem.

    As Colin says make sure your device is still supported by the newer AIR.

    Here's a page which you can check

    http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tech-specs.html

    Adobe stopped supporting older devices (after AIR 2.5 i think), so you can either re compile it with the older AIR or else move onto a newer device. Had the same issue with an iPhone 3g which no longer works.

    How much memory is in your iPod Touch? The 8GB 3rd gen one isn't compatible with the later versions of AIR. The 16GB and 32GB ones are.
