Difference between xCode Deployment and iTunes Deployment?

[Jamie@FPStudios]

Hi,

I'm running into some confusion here with deploying my app to devices. Using xCode everything is fine, build/run puts the app on the device and runs it fine. As does using the organizer to drop the .app file onto the device. It all installs and verifies correctly.

However when using iTunes I get an error that states

The application "App Name" was not installed on the iPhone "xxxxx" because it is not compatible with this iPhone.
And the installation fails, however re-syncing the app via itunes again (without changing anything simply clicking on sync again) the app install no problem at all and runs fine. Anyone out there have any knowledge or any ideas on what i might be missing the first time I go to deploy this app on a 'clean' device as to why it throws a hissy fit and tells me the app isn't compatible, when subsequent syncing would seem to prove that it was.
To test this out I'm having to go to settings and having to erase all content and settings on the device, other wise this error will not occur.
Anyone have any clues as to why this is happening? I'm at my wits end on this one, documentation isn't proving to be very useful on this one.

Cheers.

Is the app an updated app?

Yeah this build is to update the application thats already on the app store. Is there something special about updating apps that I've overlooked?

Alright so this morning I tried to sync the app with iTunes while watching the console in xCodes Organizer to see if anything spurious turned up that would let me know what was going on.
I'll post it here in case someone can make head or tail of it, as I'm lost to see what that has to do specifically with the app.

That's the console out put from the first time I try to sync the app via iTunes to the device. The following output is what I get when I sync again straight afterwards, which works without any errors coming up.
