Ad-hoc distribution, Error code 0xE8008017

quoc.giang · 07-02-2009, 06:59 AM

I developed an application with first a mobile provision with no wildcard (the provision for only 1 application). After that I create another mobile provision with wildcard and then i re-build my application with the new provision profile.
When I re-sync my application, an Un-known error appears with code 0xE8008017.
I tried to delete the profiles under Setting-General-Profile, but the error still appear.
I also tried to find a solution on Google but what pop up are Japanese websites which I cannot unsdertand.
Can someone please give me a hand?

Might be totally unrelated, but I had the same error when trying to build an adhoc dist app last week... turns out I was being a plonker and trying to install the simulatorOS version rather than iphoneOS. oops!

I tried with a new iPhone that have never installed that application before, the application successfully installed.
The error only happens to the iPhone that previously installed with the old provisioning profile

try deleting the provisioning profiles from your comp as well (even if u delete them on your phone, itunes will still reload old profiles from your comp unless u delete them).

Thank you for bring this up. I deleted the provisioning from both my comp and the iPhone, still no luck

Yeah, it was working for some people, but not for me either.

I'm currently out of ideas, so if u hear of anything, pls let me know. Thanks.

I know this question is a lttle old, but since there is no solution and since I found this by googling the error code, I thought I would add something here.

It seems this errorcode 0xE8008017 has something to do with resources in your app. So when I started getting this error with one of my ad hoc testers I decided to look at the differences between the last working version and the first one which didn't work.

It turned out I had a graphic in the new version with a danish character "ø" in the filename. Apparently Mac users have no problem with this, but this ad hoc user was using Windows, which probably somehow altered the filename.

I hope this helps someone else.

I have tried everything on this thread and I still can't install an adhoc build, wow this is frustrating - apple virtually gives you no indication where the error is!
