iOS Question App Integrity Verification

[DarkMann]

First, and most important, I don't do Apple unless I have to and am not as familair with Mac OS or iOS as with Android and Windows, so you may need to be patient!

I've been (slowly) converting an app written for B4A to B4i and things have been going quite well. I have managed to get the basics of our app working well in the simulator on our little old mac mini, but we are now ready to try testing on real hardware - iPad and iPhone.

I keep running into the same problem, "We cannot install this app because its integrity could not be verified". I've searched the forum and read a few threads that mention the same problem, but don't seem to be able to find a pointer to a solution. Here's what I have done to try and fix it.

Following the video tutorials, using a newly generated private sign key and the request thus generated, I've created new certificates (more than once from scratch).
I've found and registered the UDID strings for the test devices and then used these to create provisioning profiles.
I've copied everything into a keys folder and pointed the IDE to it.

I've locally compiled my app, but despite configuring the automation tools in Apple Configurator, the app does not automatically install. When I add the .IPA file manually with the configurator, it copies over to the iPad, but then I get the error message above.

I'm clearly missing something really obvious, but it just isn't obvious to me! Is there a more detailed guide that walks you through the whole compilation and installation process, as at the moment I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

This is never needed.

What happens when you run the app from the IDE? Please post the compilation window text.

I had assumed I didn't need to do it manually, I was just trying to get anything to work.

Error: No devices are booted.

In the Mac Builder console window I get a compilation time and success:true and success:true,148 messages.

The iPad is definitely plugged into the Mac and I can see it's contents and details in the Apple Configurator. Simulator is not running at this point.

When building Release without the device, but with the simulator running on the Mac, the app installs to the simulator without issue and runs fine.

No devices are booted.

This error can only happen when you try to run it on a simulator. This means that the ip address under Tools - Device IP Address is wrong.

Assuning this is the iPad target's IP address.
Anyway, seem to get further, but now have the following error trace :

** BUILD FAILED **

Does this mean that the UDID doesn't contain the required info?

I recommend you to start with the hosted builder. Once it works you can switch to the local builder. It will be easier to find the problem. I will send you a temporary id for the hosted builder.

Thanks Erel,

It brought up a couple of errors, but they were at least now obvious ones. Everything working fine now and installed on two iPads to test and debug.

We'll probably just go with the hosted builder from here on. I'll get an order done in the next few days.

Thank you once again.
