Entitlements? No Entitlements?

[timmyd]

Folks-

I'm trying to create an Ad Hoc distribution for my app, so I can distribute it to a few select beta testers. I'm following the steps on the official iPhone program portal.

I've created a Distribution code signing cert, and an Ad Hoc .mobileprovision file.
I've uploaded the .mobileprovision to my iPhone.
I cloned my "Release" Xcodeproject configuration and renamed it "Distribution".
I set the code signing identity in the Release conifig to my Distribution cert.
I created an "Entitlements.plist" file and added to my project.

So far, so good.

But now when I try to select my "Entitlements.plist" file for my "code signing entitlements", the XCode project inspector gives me no UI to enter the file name.

Attachment 1 ("Entitlements.jpg") is what I'm supposed to see, according to the iPhone Developer Program Portal's instructions.

Attachment 2 ("NoEntitlements.jpg") is what I actually see.

If I build my app without this Entitlements.plist, it fails to upload to my iPhone - I get the dreaded 0xE800003A "application verification failed". So it appears I need to set my Code Signing Entitlements file correctly - yet I cannot.

I haven't found anyone else with this problem. I'm utterly flummoxed. Thoughts welcome. A free copy of our astronomy software goes to the first person who can figure this out!

Just double click the Entitlements field, it'll popup an entry field where you can just type in Entitlements.plist ...

Steve-

Please re-read my posting, and look at the screenshots. There is no Entitlements field for me to click. That is the problem I need to solve.

Go back to XCode, select "Device" from the pop-up instead of "Simulator". Then bring up the Target properties again.

John,

I've tried every popup in Xcode that could conceivably have a "Device" vs. "Simulator" option, and none of them made any difference. When you say "the pop-up", which pop-up are you referring to? Can you provide a screen shot?

Sorry to be so dense here. Your help is appreciated.

Not the one in the property window. I am referring to the main project window - "Device/Simulator - 2.0 | Debug | (Project name)" popup, with "Overview" label below it.

John,

That was the first one I tried. No joy. Here is a screen shot from Xcode running on my system:

See the third item from the top in the target property, "Base SDK"?

Change to "iPhone Device 2.2"

Holy cow. I'm sure I tried this one before and it made no difference. Obviously I can be sure, and still be wrong - it worked this time.

Thank you for your help. Email me at timmyd at carinasoft dot com, and I'll make sure you get a free copy of our app.
