Question

Suddenly I'm "Unable to Install .ipas" via Xcode on test Devices -> WHY!?

Hi,

I just wanted to do a quick update on one of my iOS Apps (Published on a Mac macOS 11.2.1 / Adobe Animate 2021 / AIR 33.1.1.406) - I had to create a new developmenet certificate as my old one expired - but somehow XCode tells me each time it is: "Unable to install" my App.

 

So I checked and re-created my certificates (.p12 files and xyz.mobileprovision), checked the list of my Test Devices on "Apples Member Center" - as I did it for years now, but I just can't installe & test the new .ipa files anymore.

 

I tried it on several different test devices. 

 

I'm able to install the old test.ipa files via XCode on those devices I still have - but not one of the new published files (I also tried it out wit hseveral different AIR versions - nu success).

 

So did anything change lately on how to create .p12 files, using the Keychain Access (and sign) .ipa files? 

 

Can anyone please help? Are there any instructions, tutorials or videos on how to make this work again?

 

Best regards and thank you in advance!

 

Jan

Ok - I guess this is my fault. I did not realize that there is a new Checkbox in Apples Developer Member Center where you have to check the development certificates additionally. This was new to me. So I checked them -> Downloaded a new development/wildcard.mobileprovision profile and the .ipa files can be installed again to all my devices. 

 

Sorry for the post 😉

Not sure, but it might be related to this issue.

If so, you should be able to fix it by updating to the latest AIR sdk from Harman and replace the adt.jar file with the one from the forum post.

Hi Lars,

thanks a lot for the hint!

At least this helped to publish the .ipa via Animate / Air 33.1.1.406 using the iPhone Developer certificate (which didn't work before). But I'm still not able to install my recently published .ipa files via XCode with any of the new .p12 certificates. It does not work with the Apple Develpoment nor the iPhone Developer Certificate. Both times "Unable to Install"

Do you have any other idea why this happened?
