Build for device problem

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I can’t add any corona apps to my devices thru xcode organizer, I’ve tried with both xcode 3.x and xcode 4 GM and it returns “The application does not have a valid signature.”

All my dev certificates etc works fine on all my devices when building and installing a regular xcode project but when I build in Corona simulator I get that error.

I’ve tried Coronas sample games and apps too and a simple Hello World app, I’ve tried all my certificates and I even made a new just for Corona and it wont install on my devices.

I’ve tried on Iphone 4 (4.2.1), Iphone3g(4.2.1) and ipod touch 1st gen (3.1.3) and it simply wont install on any of the devices, I’ve read up on the documents and did exactly as it says and I even watched the Ansca video on youtube.

I’m using the lates stable build of Corona 2011.268 (2011.1.20)

Fixed it, you can’t have any spaces (my folder) between words in folder names, need to write them as one (myFolder, myfolder or my_folder etc) word. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 6575 reply_id: 22840[/import]

I can’t believe it but this was the problem with mine!

The application file that I built was in a directory with the path:

/Users/hungrytom/Desktop/Corona Experiments/build/Fishies.app

I changed it to:

/Users/hungrytom/Desktop/CoronaExperiments/build/Fishies.app

and it worked fine using my wildcard provisioning profile.

It took me some time to figure it out, I was really frustrated until I realized it was the space in the folders name. I can’t find anything in the documentation about spaces in folder names either or maybe I overlooked it in my frustration??

Glad I could help. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 6575 reply_id: 23802[/import]

Hello,

I’d like to add my 2 cents. I had the same error except that there are no spaces anywhere in the build path. I could build all examples. I’d made a copy of the GPS to start my own app, instead of putting all the resources in the root I added a resources folder where I saved all the images. The app did run in de Corona simulator. But I could not install the build for iOS into my iPhone. I got the the same error over and over, very frustrating.

Then I started to look at any difference between the examples and my app. The only difference was the addition of a resources folder. But since the error indicated a code signing error this did not alarm me. After spending many many hours into resolving this issue I did start a new project without the resources folder. Guess what, the code signing error did not occur.

I use Corona Version: 2.0.0 Build: 2011.484

I personally experienced this problem, even after building on desktop (so no spaces in build path)… and it turned out the problem was that I had a subfolder in my project directory named ‘resources’. I renamed it to ‘appres’ and the problem was fixed. [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 6575 reply_id: 51901[/import]

Ahh, that fixed it for me! I probably searched 6-7 threads on this same error and finally came across your post. Thanks! [import]uid: 42730 topic_id: 6575 reply_id: 53855[/import]
