How to put more than one build at a time on my iPhone?

Hi All,

I’ve just been getting into app development for iOS and am trying to get my head around testing my Corona builds on my iPhone.

I’ve been working on a number of different basic projects to improve my understanding of Corona but regardless of how many builds of different projects I make, I’m only able to place one Corona built app at a time on my iPhone. If I place a build from a different project onto the phone it overwrites the previous one.

Do I need to make a new provisioning profile for each app that I want to test on my iPhone? Although the names of the projects I’m building all vary, they all seem to have the same Identifier when I look at them in the iPhone Configuration Utility. Is this why my phone thinks these are all the same app?

I’ve searched the forums and haven’t found any info specific to this problem. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, I’d love to figure out how to have many different Corona built apps on my iPhone at one time. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 105707 topic_id: 19045 reply_id: 319045[/import]

What version of Xocde are you using.

With Xcode 4.2, I have an IOS TEAM PROVISIONING PROFILE. With this profile, I can build multiple apps and install them an iPhone at the same time. Each app does have to have a unique name.

Hi Elbowroom,

I’ve been trying to figure this issue out intermittently for more than a week… leave it to taking the time to post about it to get me on track to figure it out! I appreciate your taking the time to follow up on this. I’m actually on Xcode 3.2.6

I seemed to have solved the problem. I’ve been using a named provisioning profile that has an app identifier with reverse website info (com.mywebsitename.testapp) associated with it. I may have set this up following a tutorial elsewhere on the web.

I also (by chance?) have a team provisioning profile that has an app identifier that is #######.* so that any app I build gets a unique identifier #######.appname

So as long as I’m sure to use this team provisioning profile then I’ll get a custom identifier for each build. Apparently I hadn’t tried this before?

? - Does anyone know if I’m fine to delete this weird provisioning profile that was causing me problems? I assume I am fine doing that (don’t have any keepable work yet to worry about not having the profile for).

Thanks for the help :slight_smile: [import]uid: 105707 topic_id: 19045 reply_id: 73450[/import]
