iPhone SDK: ApplicationVerificationFailed

remi — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:55:07 -0800

How do you get rid of the "ApplicationVerificationFailed" error when trying to test an application on the iPhone? I am using Xcode 3.1.2 with the iPhone SDK 2.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.6. I am trying to develop my first application for the iPod and iPhone. For testing, I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen with software version 2.2.1. I have also paid $99 USD for an iPhone single developer package with Apple.

When I'm trying to install an application for testing on my iPod using Xcode, I always get the following error message:

Your mobile device has encountered an unexpected error (0xE800003A)
ApplicationVerificationFailed

I do have all the necessary certificates installed in my Keychain and provisioning profiles installed on my iPod. The provisioning profile is for development (not deployment), and is correctly associated with my developer's certificate, application ID, and device (iPod) profile. For here, I'll say my App ID is "9876543210.*".

Here is what I tried so far:

- I restarted my iPod and Xcode several times already.
- I restored my iPod.
- For the application's "Target" listed in the Project's window (not the Organiser), I brought up its "Info" window and under the "Properties" tab, I tried the following "Identifiers": blank, 9876543210.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}, 9876543210.*, *, ${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}.

Can anyone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Anyway to develop iPhone/iTouch apps without investing in a Mac?

I'm interested in developing iPhone/iPod Touch applications, however my understanding is the SDK only works in OSX. I have a XP desktop and a Vista notebook with an AMD Athlon and Turion (both dual core) respectively, both pretty good machines. Is there any way to avoid spending serious cash buying a Mac just to get into iPhone development?

Newbie wants to convert a simple website into an iPhone app, am I doomed?

Easy way to turn my medical calculations website into an iPhone app? I tried fooling around with Xcode... I have no formal programming experience, but I've picked up HTML, Javascript, CSS, and basic PHP/MySQL. I was reading about the iPhone SDK, and how it'll be "as easy to create an app as it is in Cocoa," so I gave Xcode a try this weekend, complete with beginner tutorials, but it was waaaay over my head. I have no experience at all in C or C++ or anything like that.

Basically what I'd like to do would be to copy all the HTML and javascript files from my website into a big folder and install it on an iPhone, using Safari to run the program. (Many hospitals don't have wireless access, and often have poor cell reception from all the thick walls and lead sitting around, hence wanting to allow people to run it locally.)

Is there a way to just call Safari and say, "open this index HTML file" in Cocoa/Xcode/the iPhone SDK? I'm afraid I don't have the time to pick up C or Object-C, even though I'd like to.

Obey Me iTunes

Does this iTunes SDK provided by apple in 2004 work with iTunes 7 on Windows XP? I have tried via VBScript, JScript and I have also tried C# in Visual Studio 2005 to no avail. In VBScript and JScript I get this error when trying to do the simplest of things:

var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");

In Visual Studio I can't even add the reference to either version of the iTunes Type Library (1.6 and 1.7) that are in the COM tab under Add Reference. I get this error when I try.

Arrgh! This is driving me a little nuts! Any help is greatly apprecieated.
