ERROR during building by XCode !
XCode return next error code = pid 9102 exit 65

I checked the xcode organizer and the profile is both on the phone and the library. I checked developer.apple.com and the profile is Distribution Ad Hoc for the device plugged in.

My build.yml:

sdkversion: 3.3.2

Anyone got a clue what I missed here? Already been trying different things for a few days without result :(

Answer 1

After a while I found that the script checks for the provisioning profile in /Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles instead of ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles. This is caused by using the sudo command, however without sudo I dont have permission. Workaround is to create a /Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles folder and copy the installed profile to that location. Code signing works fine now.

edit: even a better solution is to reinstall the rhodes gem without sudo. By installing the suite I had to sudo it to make system changes, however this made the compilation require sudo as well and therefor look in the wrong place for provisioning profiles.

This did the trick:

sudo gem uninstall rhodes
gem install rhodes
