48 Hours On This Problem - Still Can't Submit My App

weisdaclick · 02-06-2010, 10:39 PM

Please help here, I am trying to submit my first app and just cannot do it.

48 hours of my life (and counting) gone just trying to do this.

I have followed the Apple guide Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Developer Connection to the letter.

I have been able to test my app on my iPod fine.

For distribution so far I have:

Created a distribution certificate (three times over) and installed it - tells me it is valid.

Created a new App ID (five times over) in the program portal.

Created a new provisioning profile (five times over) in the program portal.

Downloaded the provisioning profile, dropped it into the Xcode icon on the dock, in the Organizer window I see the profile, tells me it can't be installed on devices (correct as this is a distribution profile).

Restarted Xcode exactly 50 million times.

Then in Xcode:

I duplicate the “Release” configuration in the Configurations pane of the project's Info panel and rename this new configuration “Distribution”.

In the Target Info window I select the ‘Build’ tab and set the ‘Configuration’ to ‘Distribution’

But then in the 'Build' tab under code signing "iPhone Distribution" tells me "no profiles currently match". I believe this is my problem but I have no idea how to solve it, I have tried every solution out there and none of them work.

I tried going to "Other..." and typing in "iPhone Distribution" instead of iPhone Developer". Still no good.

To complete the build:

In the Properties Pane of the Target Info window I enter the Bundle Identifier portion as com.domainname.applicationname

In the project window I select the Distribution Active Configuration to "Distribution"

Then I click 'Build' and my build fails with "Code Sign error : The identity 'iPhone Distribution' doesn't match any identity in any profile"

I read "in Keychain Access right click 'login' keychain and set it to default." I can't do this though, really simple step I know but perhaps someone can walk me through this one, can't see an option to do this.

Anyone able to help?

I hate Apple, I hate the iPhone, I hate my Mac and I hate Steve Jobs.

Make sure your Bundle Identifier, which said is "com.domainname.applicationname" matches EXACTLY the provisioning profile that you created in the program portal.

To check this look in the build tab in Xcode under the code signing identity, their should be the field "Any iPhone OS Device" click on the choice and all your certificates should show up. Usually xcode will pick the proper one assuming there is a match. Compare the ones in this list to your bundle identifier from your info.plist, if they are not an exact match them fix either the profile of the info file and then give it a try. Let me know how it works out.

Wow, thanks - got it!!!!!!!!!

The app name had one character incorrect - I had created a few and you can't see the whole name as it is not displayed without going into the App itself.

Thanks a million!
