iOS Question [Solved] b4i Bridge cannot be compiled (Error: security: SecKeychainItemImport: MAC verification failed during PKCS12 import (wrong password?))

SOLUTION:

Update (hopefully the last one): The installation of openJDK seems to have done the trick
Damn JAVA...

So for anybody who also has that problem: use openJDK!

Hello everybody,

it has been some time since my last B4i endeavor, now Apple threatens me that they would delete my app from the AppStore, so I need to supply a freshly compiled version ;-)
Which leads me to my problem:
To get B4i running again...
I have followed all the tutorials and videos I could find, but I cannot solve this error:

B4i Version: 7.80
Parsing code. (0.00s)
Building folders structure. (0.01s)
Compiling code. (0.00s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.00s)
Building Xcode project. (0.16s)

icon-store-1024.png is missing from Files\Special. Using default icon.
Preparing project for builder. (0.03s)
Project size: 0.16 MB
Sending data to remote compiler. Error
Error: security: SecKeychainItemImport: MAC verification failed during PKCS12 import (wrong password?)

I first tried it with the hosted builder --> same error
Then I installed the local builder --> same error
I have multiple times deleted the keys folder, all certificates and profiles in the Apple developer portal and recreated the "Private Sign Key" but I _always_ get the same error...

I do not know what to do, perhaps anybody (or @Erel ) has another idea what to try?

Thanks so much in advance!

Best regards,

Chris

Uninstall JDK > 8 and install Oracle JDK 8 and you’re ready to go.

Thanks for that idea, I will try that right away... I installed the newest JDK... I will report back

Update: I have now installed JDK 8u311 (before I had JDK 17) and since I switched back to JKD 8, that I get this error when I try to generate the keys:

Somehow B4i doesn't like me anymore :-(

Any ideas? ;-)

Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Run your builder !

 

[CryoGenID]

Run your builder !

Oh that already needs the builder to create the keys?
THANKS again!

Now the creation of the keys worked perfectly! Thanks again!

I will report back if the certificates etc. work as well ...

Best regards,

Chris

 

[CryoGenID]

Hm... I am collecting errors :-(
Now I get this one:

I have already twice re-generated the keys, each time the same error...

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

Best regards,
Chris

Which java version are you using ?

 

[CryoGenID]

Which java version are you using ?

First I had JDK 17, now I have installed Java 8 Update 311...

 

[CryoGenID]

I just tried it again from scratch, still the same problem:

Can nobody help?
It must be possible to get this working right? ;-)

Thanks to all of you!

Best regards,

I've just helped another user facing this issue: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...t-unknown-format-in-import.137306/post-869045

Eventually I created the keys for him and it simply worked. I didn't do anything special other then deleting and revoking all keys, including the B4i keys and creating new ones.
Pay attention to the certificate and provision profile types.

Thanks Erel!
Which JAVA Version are you using exactly?
As I have done it in a new VM as well as my normal Windows installation and both times the same error...

Thanks!

One of the two listed here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/local-mac-builder-installation.46402/#content

Damn JAVA...

So for anybody who also has that problem: use openJDK!

Thanks to all of you who helped me out here

Best regards,

Always better to start a new thread.

1. Delete your keys.
2. Download Java 14: https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html
3. Configure the IDE to use it.
4. Create new keys.
5. Make sure to choose the right type of certificate.
