Swift iOS ad-hoc application distribution

Question

I have two empty iOS applications with one view compiled into IPA via Xcode 6 beta 2. One of them is Objective-C, the second is Swift. Both of them have exactly the same code signing settings. When distributing ad hoc with a test flight or hockey version of Objective-C is installed without problems. Quick error: "Unable to download the application at that moment."

I ran the iPhone Configuration Utility logs and this is what I get:

Jun 24 17:36:27 installd[3555] <Notice>: 0x2c1000 handle_install_for_ls: Install of "/var/mobile/Media/Downloads/-6680582027007079892/1462391056366119034" requested by itunesstored Jun 24 17:36:29 installd[3555] <Notice>: 0x2c1000 MobileInstallationInstall_Server: Installing app com.MyApp.sTest Jun 24 17:36:29 installd[3555] <Error>: 0x2c1000 verify_signer_identity: MISValidateSignatureAndCopyInfo failed for /var/tmp/install_staging.HEsTZS/foo_extracted/Payload/sTest.app/sTest: 0xe8008017 Jun 24 17:36:29 installd[3555] <Error>: 0x2c1000 do_preflight_verification: Could not verify executable at /var/tmp/install_staging.HEsTZS/foo_extracted/Payload/sTest.app Jun 24 17:36:29 itunesstored[94] <Error>: 0x1ef7000 MobileInstallationInstallForLaunchServices: failed with -1 Jun 24 17:36:29 itunesstored[94] <Warning>: ERROR: MobileInstallationInstallForLaunchServices returned nil Jun 24 17:36:29 lsd[3554] <Warning>: LaunchServices: installation failed for app com.MyApp.sTest Jun 24 17:36:29 itunesstored[94] <Warning>: LaunchServices: installPhaseFinishedForProgress: com.MyApp.sTest.Installing - <NSProgress: phase=Installing; state=Failed; fractionCompleted=0.000000> called, removing progress from cache Jun 24 17:36:30 installd[3555] <Error>: 0x2c1000 install_application: Could not preflight application install Jun 24 17:36:30 installd[3555] <Error>: 0x2c1000 handle_install_for_ls: API failed Jun 24 17:36:31 lsd[3554] <Warning>: LaunchServices: installation ended for app com.MyApp.sTest 

Does anyone have an idea what can I do wrong?

thanks

Answer 1

I have found a solution. This seems to be a known issue (17283374) with Xcode 6 beta.

The fix that worked for me is to unzip and re-pack ipa, removing the extended attributes that cause the problems:

 ditto -xk /path/to/file.ipa /tmp/my_extract_path ditto -ck --norsrc /tmp/my_extract_path /path/to/new_file.ipa rm -r /tmp/my_extract_path

Same problem, here is my Xcode6 theme ipa distribution problem

Cannot install Swift ipa on device via iTunes or TestFlight

I found one workaround for this - I created a * .app file and successfully installed it on my device via iTunes. Not sure if this works for TestFlight, but at least you can send * .app and a mobile provisioning file to your client
