<app name> cannot be installed (Flex mobile for iPad)


I am developing mobile application for iPad using Flex/Air. While I am debugging the application using the Flash Builder Emulator, everything seems to be alright. However when I export a release, using a developer certificate and exporting it as "Ad hoc package for limited distribution" and try to install the release on a device which is registered to use this app, the installer returns error: " cannot be installed".

I was searching for an answer for 3 days, but I couldn't find the problem.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance! Ivan


Solution

  • There could be many reasons, probably down to the Apple certificates or provisioning profiles.

    Try exporting using your Apple Distribution certificate rather than your Developer certificate.

    If that doesn't work I would suggest deleting/revoking all certificates and profiles and start from scratch. Nowadays this should take less that 30 minutes to complete.
