Pebble iOS, There was an error trying to install provided app


I'm trying to develop an application for the pebble that connects to an iOS device.

You don't need to read the stuff below. Long story short, I keep getting "There was an error trying to install provided app" whenever I try to load a pebble app I made onto my phone. Why is this?

Things I've tried so far

I have an iPhone 6 which connects to my pebble well, and I can load and run apps. I also plugged in my phone to the computer and ran Xcode so I could enable developer mode in the phone itself, and enabled Developer Mode in the pebble app, then Enabled Developer Connections. I am logged in with my same pebble account that I develop things with on cloudpebble.

I tried sending an app to my pebble via cloudpebble, and it worked on the emulator, but when I sent it to my pebble my phone said "There was an error trying to install provided app".

I updated to the most recent iOS and pebble OS. It said "There was an error trying to install provided app".

I tried compiling a c++ project instead. I tried changing the SDK to version 2. I tried running cloudpebble on Safari and Firefox. I tried downloading the pbw file, sending it onto my phone using dropbox, and then running it there.

I went and installed the pebble developer kit on my Mac, and built a project that successfully compiles via pebble install --phone 123.4____ but my phone says "There was an error trying to install provided app".

I was able to compile an app that runs the pebble SDK with swift, and it builds successfully and tries to connect, but isn't able to make any connections.

I uninstalled the pebble app and reinstalled it. I forgot the bluetooth connections, reset my pebble to factory defaults, then reconnected it to my phone.I tried restarting my phone. I made sure to have the pebble app open and on the My Pebble screen before trying to load an app onto it.

None of the above worked.

What am I doing wrong? My phone clearly knows that someone is sending it an app, it's just barfing for some reason and I don't understand why.


Solution

  • I figured out what the problem was - for some reason, the old pebble app no longer functions for developers. I installed the pebble time app and then things worked well.
