Hello Tom,

Ok, so you need to go to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/profile/, choose this development provisioning profile, click Edit, and check if your device is included in the profile.

Regards,
Panos

Hello Tom,

I think we are running out of options. Your setup sounds correct. Next things to check:

- Select your connected device from Xcode (Window -> Devices and Simulators) and right click on it. The choose "Show Provisioning Profiles ..". Does your profile appear in this list?

- Select your connected device from Xcode (Window -> Devices and Simulators) and click on button "Open Console". Then try to install your app into the device, and see if any useful logs appear in the Console window you just opened.

Kind regards,
Panos

Thanks Panos,

I thought I found the issue. I had eset security installed.
When I connected the phone with a cable I would get the message that I needed a software update. When I tried to update the update failed. I uninstalled eset and still got the message. Turns out apparently the USB connector I was using is faulty. Switched to another USB and no longer get that message.

I still get the "App installation failed" message.

I am not able to find the "Show Provisioning Profiles" option anywhere. I have right clicked everywhere.

Hi again,

The problem was the right button on the track pad isn't the same as on a mouse. Who knew!
Anyway, when I click on the + to add/install a profile my profiles in the library folder show up, I select the one I want and it's just like kissing your sister..... nothing happens.

I will go back to the Apple Developer site and start over. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the profiles I have. None of them are expired.

Thanks for your help,

Tom

Hello Tom,

Yes, I would suggest you create a new development provisioning profile.

Hi Panos
Thanks so much for the help!
Generating a new Profile worked.
The steps in the LC instructions are apparently old but I worked it out.

SUCCESS!

I'm sorry I took up so much of your time!

Hello Tom,

Thanks for the update. I am glad this is now working for you.
The steps in the LC instructions are apparently old but I worked it out.
We recently updated the lessons. Some screenshots might be from an older version, but the steps should be still valid and accurate. If not, you can file a bug report at https://quality.livecode.com

Kind regards,
Panos
