When I try to test my app the IPhone says " '%app title%' failed to install."

How do I fix this?

My install method is:

* Open ITunes.

* Drag my app to the IPhone.

* Ta-da the IPhone says "'%app title%' failed to instal."

Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you fix it?

Thanks!

You might have to check the prov profile and type of your certificate. The error you stated might arise in following cases.

Certificate id and app ID (in the app.xml) does not match.
The certificate and prov profile should match the cause. Distribution / Testing.
Select suitable option while packaging. Adhoc / App store distribution.
Make sure the correct device UDID was used for your certificate.

I went wrong in (2) when I built my first app which costed me the same error as yours.

I felt FB could have been more organized in this process. I felt XCODE edged over FB in this.

a common cause is also related to the app identifier registered on the provisioning portal. remember that air applications use identifiers starting with "air" by default, so if you change somethng on the application xml descriptor, remember to use an identifier like "air.com.yourdomain.app". failing to include the "air" at the beginning on provisioning registration will prevent the app to run on the testing device.
