Adhoc, once again

Hi,
i just tried to make an adhoc distribution in xcode with “build and archive”

reason: in the past it was way more easy to create an ipa file with this methode, as a lot of testers could not install a developer app, zipped.

so, i cannot think of anything different other then having ios 4.2 on ipad and using xcode 3.2.5 now.

everything is set up for adhoc distribution.

  • the entitlements.plist is there and get-task-allow is uncecked.
  • entitlements.plist is written into Code Signing Entitlements
  • Code Signing identity is set to iphone distribution and everthing looks right its matching the right profiles

But a build and run or build and archive (go through the whole process of saving the file and trying to install with xcode or iphone configuration utility) will result now in “A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found.”

Great. In the past one had to check Generate Debug Symbols in the settings to get Build and Archive to work. But this time nothing works.

Anybody an idea?

marjan,

I don’t have an answer for you yet but I just ran into this problem myself. In fact until today I never heard of a entitlements.plist. I have been making adhoc builds for a few months now and just recently started using build and archive with no problems.

I think the culprit is actually the recent upgrade to iTunes 10.1.1 The problem fixed a bug/loophole that was not looking for this.

oops got a little egg on my face on this one. I double checked under the Iphone target and I still have my developer profile set. Once i changed it back to distribution I was fine again. btw I still don’t have an entitlements.plist file in my project and things seem to work okay. Have not submitted to the App Store yet.

I never have seen/noticed that entitlements message before when i have forgotten to change a profile from developer to distribution.
