Ray,
What's your Info.plist say for the CFBundleIdentifier? It isn't
called out on your webpage.
-nar
Identifier: com.wykiwyk.iphone.InstallTest0001
My understanding that I can use any string that starts in
"com.wykiwyk.iphone." and it would work.
Will update the web page.
thanx - ray

No ranting. Really. I mean, so what if I have been able to install
apps in the past? Then, upgrading from SDK 2.2 to 2.2.1 broke me
and I could not, and had to find out what barely documented hacks
were taken out that now break things.
Now, a project that was installable last week, and not changed, is
not installable. A few things in the project look different. The
project's reference to the Entitlements.plist was missing and I am
positive I did not take it out. And I found a few other things.
Makes me wonder what random crap got changed that I did not find....
Do you have a problem ranting in bugreporter bugs? I do. But I
figured something out. We are a cargo cult, waiting for info from
some weird noisy thing up in the sky. File a bug with no effort put
into it. "Dupe. Thanks and you'll never hear from us about this
again." File a bug with lots of info and steps on reproducing.
"Dupe. Thanks and you'll never hear from us about this again." Or
better yet, you get: "A bug. Thanks and you'll hear from us about
this sometime in this millennium." I have decided that ranting in
some of these bugs might be ok. After all, what is Apple going to
do? They could not give me information.... Oops! They already do
that. Do they let us see the 'Workarounds' field in the bug? No. Do
they update us about the bug's status? No. There is a _lot_ of
information in the Radar bug that Apple sees and we see none of it.
There is really not much they could do to be more unhelpful, so if
ranting makes me feel better, why should I not?
Anyway....
If you are interested, please see: http://www.wykiwyk.com/iphone/HowToNotInstall/index.html
There may be something that seems obvious to you that I am missing.
I would actually like to turn this into a "How To" instead of a
"How Not To". I bet that I can write a targeted "how to" document
and keep it under 52 pages.
For now, I have several iPhone apps I want to start to distribute.
But if random stuff like this is going to happen, why bother? It is
not as though one can get past the security barriers to actually
see what is going on. Switching to Android development may be
better for my blood pressure. We'll see.
