iOS Question Cannot create a csr file and need a mobile provisioning file.

[Tom2525]

I'm a registered developer but cannot create a csr file or mobile provisioning file. Followed the tutorials, or at least I think I did, but cannot even get started. I'm running parallels on a MacBook Air.

what is the name of your mobileprovision file?

 

[Tom2525]

It won't let me create one without creating a CSR first.

 

[Tom2525]

I think I created a correct CSR and provisioning profile. I get a connect failure now. What can I check to make sure my phone is communicating with B4i?

 

[Tom2525]

Ok, maybe there's one issue I won't be able to overcome right now. Is it possible to use your phone as a hotspot and build the bridge app? In other words, it's just my phone and my laptop, nothing else.

Is it possible to use your phone as a hotspot and build the bridge app?

Yes, it is possible.

If needed I will send you a temporary id for the hosted builder. It is easier to start with it, and once things work, switch to the local builder.

Yes, please send a temporary ID. I'll subscribe to the entire year for $26, however, I don't see anywhere to purchase it.

 

[Erel]

Sent. The link is available at the bottom of this page: https://www.b4x.com/store.html (though you don't need to purchase it right now).

 

[Tom2525]

Thanks. I've done something wrong during the process. Can you help me identify where I went wrong?

Provisioning profile "PTC.Help" has app ID "com.PTC.*", which does not match the bundle ID "PTC.Help.bridge". (in target 'B4iProject' from project 'B4iProject')

The package name should be something like: com.PTC.anythinghere

 

[Tom2525]

The failure mentions PTC.Help.bridge but I don't know where that is coming from.

Tried for a number of hours to figure it out but nothing worked. Fired up Grok and it solved the problem on the first try!
