Unable to install app on my iOS device ("unable to install the app" error)


I have created a Sencha sample app using the following command in the terminal:

Mac-mini-2:sencha-touch-2.0.0-commercial eit$ sencha app create mySenchaApp /path/to/www/mySenchaApp

Then I built that application as native on simulator, which worked fine on simulator, using the below command:

Mac-mini-2:mySenchaApp eit$ sencha app build native

Now I am trying to do adhoc distribution - I would like to install this app on my device. I have done the steps in this link.

This is the packager.json file:

{
    /**
     * @cfg {String} applicationName
     * @required
     * This is the name of your application, which is displayed on the device when the app is installed. On IOS, this should match

        "landscapeLeft",
        "landscapeRight",

}

I have modified the packager.json file as above, and run this command:

$ sencha app build native

Now this has generated MySenchaApp.app in the Build /native folder.

When I tried to install this app on my device using iTunes sync, it got installed but it says unable to install the app "MySenchaApp".

I am not sure what is the problem here, is my packager.json file correct?


Solution

  • Check your provision file. Is registered your bundle in this provision ?

    Usually this error occuring when provision is wrong, or date is expired.
