Ad Hoc install problem with coronasdk

[Airam]

Hello, I have a game I want to install in ad hoc mode in many iPad and I can not install it from another computer different to where I have coronaSDK installed, where I have also linked my ios Developer.

I follow the steps in the guide for a Ad Hoc certificate, I add UDID to the iPad in my IOS Developer, I created the Ad Hoc cerficate and compile it the game using this cerficate. I can install the game if I use the same computer, as I try to install the game on an iPad from another computer give me an error as both iTunes as iPhone Configuration Utility. What could it be?

Somewhere along the line you must be missing a step; make sure you have updated your provisioning profile with one that has all UDIDs you need and that it’s added to Xcode correctly - that’s a good start

I have updated my provisioning profile with UDIDs :(… Added to Xcode?? I use iPhone Configuration Utility and this doesn´t work.

The error in iPhone Configuration Utility is: A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted. [import]uid: 55048 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 43408[/import]

But are you building using the correct provisioning profile? I mean, does it appear in your list, then let you select it? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 43533[/import]

Yes, I building using provisioning profile for Ad Hoc distribution and I don’t install from other computer [import]uid: 55048 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 43553[/import]

When you view that profile in Xcode does it list your device as being a valid device? (It will say it in the box below.) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 43610[/import]

Hi Peach! I have taken a screenshot of my Xcode Organizer. I can I install the app on all my devices with my current ad hoc certified in my computer where I have installed xcode and coronasdk, however if I try to install the app from another computer to any device… I can not install.

Ah right, OK - how are you trying to install it from another computer? Are you copying the built file to that new computer? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 43766[/import]

[Airam]

I use iPhone Configuration Utility in another computer and yes, I copy the built to new computer.

This image is in another computer with iPhone Configuration utility:

Peach, Peach, Peach!

I have the solution to my problem for ad hoc distribution. Create a .ipa file!

The apple documentation put (http://goo.gl/nlCuS):

Using .ipa files for Ad Hoc Distribution
One common issue with Ad Hoc distribution is that the .app or provisioning profile may be modified or corrupted when it is being transferred from one computer to another. The easiest way to resolve this issue is to use Xcode’s Build and Archive functionality to create a .ipa file that you can distribute. For more information about how to use Build and Archive please read the Archiving Your Application for Testing section in the iOS Development Guide.

It is very simple, We must follow these steps:
1. Build the app.
2. Create folder, for example in desktop, called Payload.
3. Place app file into folder
4. Compress folder
5. Rename folder to appname.ipa

These steps I have taken from this post http://goo.gl/MMF71

My game can be installed from other computers!

PD: could Ansca put this solution in the official documentation for ad hoc distribuition?

You have to do this for testflightapp as well… I found this out last night when I first used it [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 43822[/import]

/facepalm - sorry!

I should have thought of that; I don’t use testflight but I have read about it, I should have considered that in this situation.

In the past I’ve only ever done AdHocs the “proper” way, or what I believe to be proper way - but will make a note of this.

Thanks for sharing your solution!

I can’t get TestFlightApp off the ground.

I have a Distribution Provisioning Profile, Ad Hoc Distribution Method.
It uses a wild card format App Id. (XXXXXXNNNN.*)
It has the required Devices listed in it.
It is active

I can see my profile in Xcode/Provisioning Profiles, and it shows my devices.

I build in Corona, for device, using that digital signature.
I make a Payload directory.
I put a copy of the .app into that directory.
I zip the directory.
I rename the zip to appname.ipa

I try to upload the build on testflightapp
After a while, I get the following:

Invalid IPA: missing embedded provisioning profile. Are you sure this is an ad hoc?

According to the Test Flight Knowledge Base:

This error occurs when the provisioning profile embedded in the .app file does not contain any devices.

If I look at the embedded.mobileprovision in the .ipa, I find A list of my devices.

I would love a good suggestion about now.

Shenandoah01, have you made any progress? I am in the same situation.

Make sure in iTunes Connect you select all the devices to add to the certificate before you download and install it. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 73617[/import]

I am having the exact same issue as Shenandoah . Has anyone figured this out? [import]uid: 42417 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 103816[/import]

[tielore]

Has anyone got this resolved? I’m having the same issue now too. Trying to use Test Flight, and getting this error when I try to upload it to testflight:
“Invalid IPA: missing embedded provisioning profile. Are you sure this is an ad hoc?”

I’ve recreated the adhoc provisioning profile a dozen times now making sure that all the devices are added corectly, etc. I’ve followed all the steps outlined, same as the folks above, but still getting this error.

If using wildcard have you tried without? If using dist. cert have you tried dev. and vice versa? (I don’t use testflight but am just trying to think of possible differences between builds that may be the cause.) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11813 reply_id: 110231[/import]
