Appcelerator iPod build problems

Question

I'm using Titanium Studio (1.0.0.201104272233) and Titanium Developer (1.2.2) and have just begun my app development. It builds just fine to the iPhone simulator. Yay! BUT. . . when I attempt to build to the device, I get this error:

[INFO] Performing clean build
[ERROR]
[ERROR] Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.7.0/iphone/builder.py", line 1306, in main
execute_xcode("iphoneos%s" % iphone_version,args,False)
File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.7.0/iphone/builder.py", line 1066, in execute_xcode
output = run.run(args,False,False,o)
File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.7.0/iphone/run.py", line 39, in run
sys.exit(rc)
SystemExit: 65

Here's the full build log: pastie.org

I'm using OSX 10.6.7, Titanium SDK 1.7.0, ios SDK 4.2 (or 4.3). I have xCode3 in /Developer and xCode4 in /xCode4/ and a receding hairline from this issue. I'm trying to build to an iPod touch with software version 4.3.3.

Studio seems to handle the parallel location of xCode4 better than Developer when working on the simulator. I've deleted the build folder a number of times and attempted different ios/Titanium SDKs.

Answer 1

The key to this is that one can use the *.xcodeproject file and go to build the application in xCode. This will give the developer a whole different debugging environment with error messages particular to the iPod/Apple requirements and certifications to get all the settings right. Though they may appear to be correct and accurate in Titanium Studio or Developer, there can still be errors or conflicts. In my case, I had duplicate certificates in my keychain and some errors in my provisioning set up which, as you can see in the log wasn't apparent at all from Titanium Studio or Developer.

Thanks a bunch Brian for your assisting question and guidance.
