Thanks for the prompt reply, however, I do not know where to find that aaa folder. I searched my computer but no such folder was found.

It is located on your mac: /Users/administrator/Documents/UploadedProjects/aaa

I am not using a Mac. I am using the hosted service you provide on a Windows 7 pc. That directory does not exist. It has existed in the past as I have checked in Administrator properties-Previous versions and can see it. It seems that the directory is not being written to anymore.
I am not quite sure what to do now. I must confess to being a little confused by the process, however, I am sure it will end well.

Sorry, one extra question:
What is the format of the package name in Project/Build configurations?
My apple name is 'myapps' id is '*' so I have named the package myapps.b4i.myassistant
'myassistant' being the appname. Is that correct?

Thanks Hilton

Does this error happen every time? Can you upload your project (or send it to me by mail)?

If the id is * then you can set the package name to be whatever you like.

To answer your question: Yes it happened every time when I compiled my app. When I compiled Sidemenu example, it complained about non matching data in the provisioning file - but I could not find anything wrong with the apple stuff - I went thru the process again just in case but to no avail.

I installed b4i v1.21 and rebuilt the bridge and compiled the SideMenu example and it seems to be working again! I then compiled my app and it also compiled ok.

A bit strange, but thanks for your time and prompt replies and I shall continue with my learning.

Hilton.

Good. Note that the user id should not be posted. I removed it from our posts.

I am also getting this same error. The first test project I tried seemed to work fine. I tried loading the PageViewController app and Klaus's SQLite3 app. Both gave me the error below. I tried creating a quick project from scratch again since the first one worked but it will not work as well. I tried deleting the project directory as instructed above but that didn't work. I just purchased B4i a few days ago and the build server is working well so I should have the latest version of everything. Please help

Might be related to the product name. Try to create a new project without spaces and see whether it works.

Well I loaded the two test projects from you and Klaus and never changed the product name so I don't see how that could help but I will try it tonight. Thanks

Removed spaces of product name. Please see error below:

Ok..I got all projects to run. This is what I found...

There is a cert file in the Libs directory that is dynamically created when the build server is run named AppleWWDRCA.cer. This file is also included in the builderserver zip file that I was sent. As a test, I copied all the files over to the dynamically created Libs folder except the cert file. Everything began working. I don't understand this but maybe someone can explain this to assist other developers during installation. I hope everything keeps working.

Great example projects BTW...thanks Erel, Klaus and everyone for these great samples you provide. They really help. Thanks also for the great support as usual.
