iOS - How to fix "app failed to install" error?

Hi,

I'm new to iOS and built a small iPhone app with Adobe Air.

I tried to install it through iTunes Sync but always running this error message after syncing:

"com.test.name" failed to install

How can I get a detailed error message to figure out what went wrong?

My config:

Windows

iTunes 11.1.5.5

iPhone 3Gs

iOS 6.1

Adobe Air 3.4

Flash CS 6

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?

Did you double check to make sure you properly configured your certificate and provisioning profile

Yes, I added my UDID and created the certificates afterwards.

Is there a way to get a detailed error message? I just can't figure it out otherwise :/

What are the most common problems?

iOS apps build with Air 3.4  are supported on iPhone 3Gs, right?

To submit to the App Store you will need to use either the release version of AIR 4.0, or the beta of AIR 13. Both of those have numerous fixes beyond AIR 3.4.

How did you get your UDID? Most of the apps for retrieving the UDID now give an incorrect value.
