NativeScript Sidekick Errors while Generate Provisioning Profile and Certificate


I am trying to setup a Mobile development environment, a true WORA. NativeScript seems to be ticking all the boxes. I have therefore installed Visual Studio Code with NativeScript Plugin and SideKick. I am trying to do a simple thing at the moment, namely testing HelloWorld App on physical devices such as Android Tablet/Phone and iPad. Android was a breeze however iPad proved to be a pain. I am trying to use "iOS Auto Generate Provisioning Profile and Certificate" inside SideKick but I am getting two types of errors:

1) Using my Main Apple ID (with no Developer account) I am getting following message:

An error has occured while generating the certificate and mobile provision. Reason: Two-step verification not supported at the moment

Fair enough, I thought I will try a Free Apple ID (as advised in SideKick documentation, see result in next bullet point)

2) Free (newly created) Apple ID

An error has occured while generating the certificate and mobile provision. Reason: Could not find app with bundle id. (node:12659) [DEP0013] DeprecationWarning: Calling an asynchronous function without callback is deprecated. Could not find app with bundle id

Is there any step-by-step walk through on how to test simple apps on your local Apple devices?!?

Many thanks in advance


Solution

  • The issue could be the bundle id, for a free account the bundle id must be really unique, across anyone ever used so far.
