not valid info.plist

[Pistris]

Hi Guys
I just upgraded to LC 8 RC and am getting the following error

event.app cannot be installed on edd iPhone.
event.app does not contain a valid info.plist
("CFBundleExecutable" specifies a file that does not exist)

I use the INDY Version on mac
and the error occurs while trying to install on the phone
i also upgraded to Xcode 7.3.

anybody with the same error?

Anybody from the livecode team have any thoughts?

Hi @Pistris - well did you mess with the info.plist?

Sorry but there are so many things that could contribute to an error like this - for example I just read of a guy who had "+" in his app name and that caused a similar error...

As a way of testing the rest of your system and possibly zeroing in on what the issue might be you could build a brand new 'hello world' app and install it on your device. If it installs ok then there is something wrong with your current app - keep adding bits to your 'hello world' app until it breaks, that will be where the problem is...

Good luck!

Hi Dave
Today in the office i opened the app and could build the stand alone and install it on the phone with no problems
this little nuances drive crazy.
i will reinstall from scratch xcode and livecode at home and test again

i do have 7.3 and 7.2 versions of xcode installed at the same time, i dont know if that is causing the problem, because thats the only difference between the two machines.

thank you very much for your reply

Edd.

Hi Edd - ok good, sometimes turning off the machine and turning it on again DOES work

As regards having two versions of Xcode on the same machine, that shouldn't be a problem - except that the safest way to do this seems to be to have separate folders within the Applications folder for old versions of Xcode, leaving the most recent version in Applications. This means you don't have to rename older versions (they can still be 'Xcode.app') as they'll be in a separate location. I currently have about 4 versions of Xcode on my machine like this and no problems (at least so far)
