Hi all,
Totally noob ios/mac questions ahead:
Have not used a mac before today, borrowed my brother’s macbook for a few days.
Have been following this guide:
https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/iOSBuild/index.html#building
to try and build a development version of my app.
Everything seems fine up to the point I try to get my provisioning profile into the device.
Now you must install the profile on each device that you selected during the profile creation. Connect the device to your computer and Sync it from within iTunes. When it’s done, open the Xcode Devices window, right-click the device image in the left column, and select Show Provisioning Profiles… from the contextual menu. The new profile should appear in the list.
So I open itunes, because it is my brother’s macbook I don’t login with his apple id.
When i login with my apple id (created for the developer account) I get a “This apple ID has not yet been used with the app store.” message and I do not get logged in.
Ok, nevermind, I can see my device connected, and I have the .mobileprovision file so i try to click “Sync” and skip step 2 which is the “back-up” because I do not want my stuff backed up on my brother’s book.
Selecting “Show Provisioning Profiles” on the device in question in Xcode however, shows no provisioning profiles.
Drag dropping the .mobileprovision file onto the device gives the “Unable to copy to device because the device cannot play this file” message and
drag dropping onto the library gives the “already exists do you want to overwrite?” message.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
