iOS Intel XDK experiences

Hey everyone, I've been using intel XDK for android for a while now, with great success. But what are the steps to publish to iOS using xdk?

Hi,

I tried many, many times, but I'm still unable to build successfully an iOS app using Intel XDK. All the signing process seem to be correct, I added the provisioning file and stuff, and when building the app here is what I get :

"

The build failed.

An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again.

Building a Cordova 3.5 application.

The application name is "Healer Quest"

The package name is "----------------------"

Will use the provisioning profile for "adhoc"

Plugin "Device" (org.apache.cordova.device) installed.

Plugin "SplashScreen" (org.apache.cordova.splashscreen) installed.

Plugin "AdMob Plugin" installed.

Plugin "https://github.com/cranberrygame/com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.iap#430---------------------46c1" installed.

Plugin "org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" installed.

Targeting iOS version 7.

The only errors seem to be the missing splash screens for portrait mode, but I actually added these splashscreen ! (despite my game being played in landscape only)

Am I missing something?

Rable - any chance you can post the full build log? if you want, you can email me ian.maffett at intel.com and I'll be happy to look into it

Many thanks for the help, it now builds successfully ! As you highlighted I had to create a mobileprovision from the certificate.

Didn't know they had to be related to each other !

Hi Rable could you please explain this? It seems you were missing the provisioning files, but how did you do a build in the XDK without them? Thanks.

I've just tried to publish a test app that simply has a single sprite on a layout.

I've read lots of tutorials. Using XDK v 1621

I have a Developer account

I have an app ID, call it com.company.product

I have a registered device (iPad)

I have an ad hoc provisioning profile showing the same App ID, 1 certificate and 1 Device

I have another provisioning profile (how can you tell which is ad hoc or not, only by the name I gave it??) showing the same App ID, 1 Cert and 0 devices

I have no development provisiong profiles, as per what I've read, but I wouldn't thought I'd need one? (judging by the name)

In the XDK I created a new project for the test app

App ID set as above

Version 1.8.2 (as per my existing Android version)

Full screen

Landscape

iOS target 5

Provisioning profile Ad hoc

Ad hoc provisioning profile: set to the adhoc xxx.mobileprovision file

Production provisioning profile: set to the other xxx.mobileprovision file

As a first test I did not add any icons or splash screens

I did not alter the plugins

Build tab, build, upload

Build page says iOS CERTIFICATE: Step complete. If i choose Edit, it says 1a: "Your CSR has been generated..." etc. and 1b: Certificate uploaded..." etc.

I get all warnings about "no images provided" and "no splash screen".. and "An unexpected error occurred"

Next step I will add icons and splash screens and re test.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: added icons and splash screens, got the errors about some further splash screen sizes, so added those images and added them to the 'intelxdk.config.additions.xml' file. No warnings now, just the same error at the end.

imaffett can I send you the build log?

This is still not working for me, please see above.

edit: I managed to get a test app installed so I should be able to work out my real app

Hello

I've been trying to make this work for a while now but all I get is "The certificate was not created with the Certificate Signing Request."

I even deleted my certificate and did the steps shown again with a new one but I still get this msg. How do I solve this?

I'm about to go out but if the problem is not resolved I'll post something later. Basically I deleted certificate and everything else and started over like you said you did.

a tip for you codah is to have the iOS target to 5.1.1 or ells apple will reject it

I still have no idea what I should do :/ I even created my own CSR on my mac and tried it on windows as I have all the files there but still nothing. why does apple have to be so complicated! On andorid it was so simple

Edit: well the certificate problem is solved as I exported a p12 file

now I just got to fix the image problems and see if the last error. be sure you are in the right tab as I accidentally added all images to android instead of iOS and now I have to recreate everything in those sizes lol

everything works except one error at the end.

can someone translate this to English please?

Edit: ok so the problem is that I had both the ad hoc and the release mobileprovions in the file when I should have used one at a time. Just thought I would write this down for people who might face the same problem

yep already know about the 5.1.1 thing but I haven't reached that point yet..

Yes the tab thing is a real trap.

So does anyone have orientation successfully locked in their apps? It still does not work for me.

I tried cranberrygame's screenOrientation plugin but it breaks all touch events so I removed it.

I have full screen set in both XDK and C2.

I'm trying to lock my app in portrait.

Thanks.

codah

Added new plugin and fixed the bug now.

Change log (2015.3.7)

Added Phonegap ScreenOrientationLandscape

:auto lock screen orientation landscape. (fix xdk not locking ios orientation issue)

just insert into c2 capx

Thanks

I have the same error, Command finished with error code 65. How did you solved this issue? You mentioned that you had both ad hoc and the release mobileprovisions in the file but what do you mean?
