Developing for a jailbroken iPhone, A to Z (iPhone 3.0)

hey..

I cant build and go to my iPhone 3.1 I gett this error:
/Users/******/Documents/xCode/iPhone Apps/ASC/build/Debug-iphoneos/ASC.app/ResourceRules.plist: cannot read resources

Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1

Build failed (1 error)

I used this as the “new build phase”:

export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate
if [ “${PLATFORM_NAME}” == “iphoneos” ]; then
/Developer/iphoneentitlements30/gen_entitlements.py “my.company.${PROJECT_NAME}” “${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}/${PROJECT_NAME}.xcent”;
codesign -f -s “iPhone developer” –resource-rules “${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}/ResourceRules.plist” \
–entitlements “${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}/${PROJECT_NAME}.xcent” “${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}/”
fi

and btw:
iPhone 1G on 3.1
xCode 3.1.3

Any help.. ?

Thanks

MertenNor

thanks a lot but now i’ve got another error

/bin/sh: /Users/dimasitnikov2/Desktop/f2kg/build/f2kg.build/Debug-iphoneos/f2kg.build/Script-95E81110106FF5CB0049225A.sh: export: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
what does it mean?

yeah! it work)))))

This guide provides a workaround for xcode 3.2

Check the older comments for common errors. If you arent sure what you are doing, i would stop with step 4 of the second guide. The steps after that are to enable on device debugging but they could really damage your device.

Hi,

Thanks for the post, really helpful. Thanks to Joshua 🙂
I am stuck on how to deploy the build.

I can jailbreak if need be , to transfer the project files. But when i build , I get helloWorld.app on the Xcode (left side). I would like to know what to copy from the project after successful build in my iPhone device, and then run the application.

Any help will be very useful for me.
Thanks

@amit: You need to jailbreak your device and install Installd or AppSync

@somnius: Did you follow the guides I mentioned earlier?

Hi.. Everything worked fine and even i was able to deploy my app to jailbroken iPhone 3.0.. Thanks a lot for this tutorial.. the problem i am facing is the application icon doenot have any glossy look.. What can i do for that.. Any suggestion on this..
Thank you

In Xcode 3.2, iphone 3.1 You need to do this to work:

Open /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Info.plist. (Backup if you want to be safe.)
Go to line 46. Replace the XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext with XCCodeSignContext
Go to line 83. Replace the XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext with XCCodeSignContext
Go to line 95. Replace the XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext with XCCodeSignContext
Save the file.
Restart Xcode.

it works like a charm! 🙂 Thanks!

Finally got it working, thanks for the guide and all comments!
The information is all there here if you just look carefully enough.

Turns out Installuos installs AppSync.

I had Xcode version 3.1.4 and OS 3.1, but the guide is written for version 3.1.3, OS 3.0 .

Fivos suggestion works, you have to use another verion of the script in step 5 above (below I’ve fixed Fivos cite-chars):


#!/bin/bash
cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support.xcplugin/Contents/MacOS/
dd if=iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support of=working bs=500 count=255
printf "\xc3\x26\x00\x00" >> working
dd if=iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support of=working bs=1 skip=127504 seek=127504
/bin/mv -n iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support.original
/bin/mv working iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support
chmod a+x iPhoneOS\ Build\ System\ Support


After I hit build and go it compiles just fine but it tries to deploy the app to the iphone it gets a pop up error message “could not translate messages from device”

anyone know what is going on or a way around this?

Does this work for OS 3.1.2?

Used JK’s suggestion, it works on 3.1.4 Xcode and 3.0.1 OS. Now I upgraded OS to 3.1.2 and SDK to 3.1.2 as well. the same method can only install app to iphone, but could not debug on iphone, it says could not attache to debugger.

Any Ideas, JK? I think you know what these numbers mean in the script, any changes need for OS 3.1.2?

Thanks so much.

OK works on os3.0 but instruments don’t.
(Activity monitor works, displays iphone processes but other instruments like cpu sampler, opengl es etc. doesn’t show anything just when starting an app with any of performance tools app is transwered to iphone and imediately stops. Can you help me with it? thanks

hi, so does this mean i can use shiva3D or Unity to create iphone games which i can test out on my iphone?

Hello, I’ve tried all the steps, backtracked couple times unfortunately, never got code to deploy properly.

I’m currently getting an ‘iPhone developer: no such identity’ error. I have added and removed ‘iPhone developer’ (uses default Certificate Assistant values) couple times. maybe that’s the problem?

Xcode 3.1.4, iPod Touch OS 3.1.2, OS X 10.5.8

Would be really grateful for help. I really need to get this project done fast, so I can’t wait couple weeks for Apple to approve my application for the certificate before starting development.

Lovely guide, was a breeze to setup! Thank you 😀

I had to change the signing identity from “iPhone Developer” to something different as it conflicted with the other identities. Went with OCT developer…but it could be anything.

Xcode uses “iPhone Developer” as a default identity to figure out which it should use(when you have multiple signing identities) so it is best to use something different.

Hi,

Thx a lot, was working
last build xcode 3.1.4

o to line 46. Replace the XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext with XCCodeSignContext
Go to line 83. Replace the XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext with XCCodeSignContext
Go to line 95. Replace the XCiPhoneOSCodeSignContext with XCCodeSignContext

VERY important or xocde crash after a few seconds

Hi

Has anybody got it working for snow leopard
xcode 3.2.1

i keep getting codesign error,
if anybody got it working please post a guide

best regards Erik

Hi guys!
Altough i get the error in /bin/sh and for the certificate, i saw the apps is built correctly! xD
Thanks a lot guys xD

Hey,

I followed the steps above and I’m getting the following error:

Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1

Note that I’m using OS 3.1.2, and xcode 3.1.4. The active SDK is 3.0.

Any ideas?

Tanks

Help. I am using os 3.1.2 xcode 3.1.4.

I followed the steps in the article, i modified the script with the comment from jk. When i try to build the following build errors appear :

– Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1
followed by
– Codesign error: no certificate was found in your keychain for the specified identifier “iPhone Developer”

With the keychain tool i see the created certificate tough it’s not trusted.

Anyway it seems that xCode builds something because i have in the directory Release-iphone os an .app file,

i tried to transfer it on the jailbreacked iPhone and set the rights to execute , restart the springboard , but the application crashes.

Please someone help me ,because i am running out of solutions for deploying on the iPhone.

Thank you.

The new guide (p=354) state requirements as:
iPhone OS 3.1.2
Xcode version 3.2.1, 64 bit
Mac OSX 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

What if I am using Xcode 3.1.4 and Mac OS 10.5.8 (Leopard)?
Thanks,

Thanks for your help.

My dev environment: Xcode 3.1.4, iPhone OS 3.1.2, OS X 10.5.8.

I am getting
‘iPhone developer: no such identity’ error, when it is running the custom shell command:
/Developer/iphoneentitlements30/gen_entitlements.py “my.company.${PROJECT_NAME}” “${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}/${PROJECT_NAME}.xcent”;
codesign -f -s “iPhone developer”
