Help on installing my app in my iPad

Hi Everyone…

Is there any where on line or somewhere, any guide in how to install my app from Corona in my iPad?

a simple one, easy and clear to understand, and to follow…

I am reading and reading on line and I just find post of people confused like me

and everyone with so many problems…

isn’t it a plain simple guide

1.- Do this.

2.-Now this…

3… and you have it!

Simple.

any way. my problem now is that I see this

“The Application does not have a valid key Signature”

when trying to put my app in Organizer for my iPad.

This post will be that guide that I am looking for anyone that will read this will know perfectly how to do this

of course with the help of Corona Profesionals…


1.- Your app must be finished and working perfectly in the simulator –

          I have that, my app works fine in the simulator

2.- You need to have an iPad register in developer.apple.com

         In the Developer, Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles window

         under Devices - All

         I see my iPad register, it has a name and the UDID really long number

         so it’s fine, I think

3.- When you open Xcode in Organizer window you should see a green circle or light,

waiting to install your app –

        I see the green light!

4.- Now you need to have 1 certificate for Development –

       I have 2, one that expires on Jun 04, 2015

       and 1 that expires on Sep 22, 2015

       I don’t know if this might be a problem, should I revoke the last one I did?

       it will affect something?

5.- You should have 1 Provisioning Profiles Development –

        Here I see 4 I don’t know why

        1 for my first App that is now on the App store and it works fine (Xylo)

        1 for the new App the one I am trying to summit (Kids2014)

        and 2 more that starts with iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.dlucamusic.kids

        and this 2 have in parenthesis (Managed by Xcode) Why?

6.- Once you have your 1 Certificate, and 1 Development Provisioning Profile…Build your app in Corona –

       Here is the problem, I don’t see my App (Kids2014) under the drop window

       I just see the one iOS Team…

       I use that and it doesn’t work

       How do I get to see my provisioning profile for development in the drop window in Corona?

Thanks for helping me and hundreds more out there, this guide should help every one

let’s work together and correct things to make it better and clear.

Thanks for your help

First things first, did you download the certificate from the apple developer under certificates?

Then the most common reason for them not showing up in corona is having corona “open” either shut it down completely and reopen it or simply reboot.

After that when you open corona and click build it should be in your drop down.

Okay… Christopher Bishop, thanks for the reply.

under certificates I see…

   All

   Pending

   Development

   Production

– That’s it.

When you say “the certificate from the apple developer”

I am assuming is the one on the “Development” tab [like – Certificates > Development]

I hope this is the one.

When I click on there I see 2 Certificates Total.

Questions…

   Do I need to have 2 ?

   I am only one single developer why 2 ?

   I have one that I create back on June, expires on Jun 04,2015

   I have another one that I created on Sep, (Maybe by mistake, I don’t know)

   was I supposed to make another one, every new app?

   or with only one will work for all my apps?


anyway I will click on the second one the most recent one

– there are 2 buttons [revoke] [download] ( I did that before but I will do it again (I hope it will not hurt) )

– I clicked on [download] and copy it in my desktop

– it’s a file that looks like a little certificate – name – ios_development.cer

– now I double click on that file, to install it

– it just blinked a little bit and that’s it

– In my Mac computer I went to Go menu, then find Utilities, to find keychain Acces

– open keychain ( I see like 500 files )

– I see one little blue icon – iPhone Developer: Octavio Villalobos (2MCHY67YT) – not the real number

   is a certificate and expires on jun 04, 2015

– and like that I see only 4

– 2 for Developer, and 2 for Distribution – iPhone: Distribution: and the name of the company and the number (3GTY86GY)

– I double click I hope it is installed.

– Now I will re-start my computer to star fresh on Corona – 11;09am

Ok I think you are getting confused with Certifications, Identifiers and Provisioning Profiles which at first can be a little daunting lol

Try these steps (Your certificates seem fine) once you have downloaded them you don’t need to download them again or create a new one unless it expires then you need to use the keychain to build a new one and download that.

So ignore the Certs for a second and do below (or verify that you have)

1: In the developer console select App ID’s then click the + symbol

1.a: Put in the name of your app something friendly for you.

1:b: enter a bundle id something like com.yourdomain.gamename (ie: com.itsbillyblob.puzzle)

1:c: under app services the default should be fine unless you are using something specific in which case check it.

1:d: click continue and done.

2: Click on Provisioning Profiles->All and click the + symbol

2:a: click “AD HOC” (don’t worry about IOS App Development) and click continue. (note use App Store to publish to iTunes)

2:b: select the “App ID” that you just created in step 1 and click continue.

2:c: select the certificate that is the farthest out in the date and click continue

2:d: because you are using ad hoc you should see a list of devices (if not leave and go to devices and import add your ios device id)

Finish the wizard and then “download” the provisioning profile and double click it to install it.

That should be it, now when you open up corona and click build it will be in the drop down list.

Oh, once you have done that I simply just open xCode->Organizer and attach my iOS device then organizer in the left hand side click applications under the device tree and drag the app file over it is a lot easier.

You might need to click on the device and enable developer mode via oranizer as well.

( I am documenting everything for little babies, I will need to read this again in a couple of months for my new app, or for someone else that also has all these problems, every app is a huge problem, it takes a lot more time to put it in the app store then to develop the app)

***** [1: In the developer console select App ID’s then click the + symbol] ******

Where is the developer console?..

I open Safari

Sign In

I see the grey Window with 4 TABS

– Certificates

– Identifiers

– Devices

– Provisioning Profiles

Under Identifiers I see App IDs – I hope this is the one you mention

I already see 2 App IDs Total

– 1 for my last App that I have already on the app store (Name: Xylo, and ID: com.blablabla)

– and 1 for this new app that I am trying to put on my iPad and upload to the app store, so I see it now.

***** [1.a: Put in the name of your app something friendly for you.] ******

I guess I have that already

***** [1:b: enter a bundle id something like com.yourdomain.gamename (ie: com.itsbillyblob.puzzle)] ******

I have that… I think

***** [1:c: under app services the default should be fine unless you are using something specific in which case check it.] ******

I saw this before when I was creating this, I think I have that

– By the way, is this a CERTIFICATE, or a PROVISIONING PROFILE?

***** [1:d: click continue and done.]******

done!

***** [2: Click on Provisioning Profiles->All and click the + symbol.]******

Do I have to click on the + symbol again?

I already see 8 profiles total

1-- Kids Profile App Store – Type: Distribution – Status: Active                                                                – DISTRIBUTION

2-- Kids Profile Hoc – Type: Distribution – Status: Active                                                                         – DISTRIBUTION

3-- Xylo Prov Prof Develop iOS – Type: Development – Status: Active                                                                       – DEVELOPMENT

4-- Xylo Prov Prof Distrib Ad Hoc – Type: Distribution – Status: Active                                                    – DISTRIBUTION

5-- Xylo Prov Prof Distri App Store – Type: Distribution – Status: Active                                                  – DISTRIBUTION

6-- iOS Team Provisioning Profile com.kids – Type: Distribution – Status: Active(Manage by Xcode)                        – DEVELOPMENT

7-- iOS Team Provisioning Profile com.xylo – Type: Distribution – Status: Active(Manage by Xcode)                        – DEVELOPMENT

8-- Kids Guitar Easy Tabs for iPad – Type: Development – Status: Active                                                                  – DEVELOPMENT

This is where I get confused why 4?

if I want to develop my app, putting it in my iPad

I need a Development Provisioning Profile right?

So I see only 4 of those…

the one for my last app (No. 3, is NOT, because I have that in the app store already)

then I have 2 No. 6 and No. 7, both of them are Manage by Xcode that I have no idea why or how I got those

so the only option left is No. 8, I renamed that one so I can see it in Corona Build, I will go there now

– Open Corona

– I see my app, and works fine

– File, > Build, > iOS

in the little grey window

in the Code Signing Identify: – I am suppose to be looking No. 8 Right? Kids Guitar Easy Tabs for iPad

I see 26 lines (why so many?)

14 for iPhone Developer

12 for iPhone Distribution

So let’s look at the Developers

A.- DLuca Kids Guitar Profile Dev                | by the way I don’t see this in the Developer Console on Safari |

B.- DLuca Xylo                                             | I have this on the app store it’s fine |

C. - This one it’s the com one No. 6

D. - the I have the .com No. 7

E. - Destroy                                                   | an Old app no good any more | by the way How do I delete those?

F.- guitar — old one

G.- make – old one

H.- team provision – I don’t get this one

I.- .com destroy – OLD

J.- com Guitar – OLD

K .com piano – OLD

L. .com - How – OLD

M. - piano – OLD

N.- Piano – OLD

So I have only 2 Possibilities…

Letter A and letter C

I will try Both

It is really confusing…

For Both of them

“The Application does not have a valid Key Signature”

and I just Don’t see

– No. 8-- Kids Guitar Easy Tabs for iPad – Type: Development – Status: Active
