Can anyone help on this ?

anonymous_user_4030fea0 · April 24, 2016, 1:24am

Just signed in to say that I am having the same error. It fails on this step:

LogPlayLevel: mono: [DD] … Install is 40% complete at phase ‘VerifyingApplication’
LogPlayLevel: mono: Install \ Update of “TopDownIOSMobile.ipa” failed with Application Verification Failed Error in 5.96 seconds

I tried with Windows and Mac both get the same error. Tried in Editor, IPhonePackeger on Windows and Editor and ITunes deployment on Mac. None get beyond the ApplicationVerification step. Using iPhone 6+

Edit: Using 4.11.2

Please try these solutions from a user experiencing almost the same issue:

[IOS Build Failed During Installation - Getting Started & Setup - Epic Developer Community Forums][1]

Put the bundle identifier from [your] app id in project settings
Make sure there are not two .plst files in your project\Build\IOS folder. If there are, delete the one that has your project name in it and leave the one named “info.plist.”

anonymous_user_4030fea0 · April 25, 2016, 10:49pm

Hi .

I assume we’re talking about Bundle Identifier in the IOS settings. It is set, as you can see from the screenshot

. The provision and certificates match and are highlighted in green.

I checked the project/Build/IOS folder and there are no .plst files there at all. Only the .IPA file that’s the product of the build process. I am not sure if that’s a problem or not, I don’t recall seeing separate .plists there before.

I can confirm there is only one .plist inside the .IPA package when I inspect it. It’s content matches my settings in the editor:

CFBundleIdentifier gk0r.Test

But it still fails on the VerifyingApplication phase.

For what it’s worth - I can deploy other applications (non-UE4) naively from xCode but I am not sure if that means anything.

anonymous_user_bcdd396d · April 26, 2016, 5:45pm

Just to see if this is project related or related to your provisions,etc. please test by packaging the free demo “Tappy Chicken” available here:

https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Tappy_Chicken_Sample_Game

Sanchez1139 · April 26, 2016, 8:22pm

I have been using this TappyChicken project to test this, and that is what i was getting the errors with , all provisions and cert green but fails,

My concern now is if i cant get this working using XCODE certs etc, should i buy developer licence yet, or am i going to get same problems and be £79 out of pocket ?

anonymous_user_bcdd396d · April 26, 2016, 8:56pm

@ DylanBatt74: You should be able to launch Tappy Chicken on the iOS Device directly or package as an .ipa file that you can transfer to your device through iTunes without buying a developer license. I suggest not spending money until we have determined the cause of the issue since purchasing a developers license will not correct this (You only need that license to publish to the app store itself.) -Since I am not able to reproduce this with Tappy Chicken packaging from a MacBook Pro to an iPad, please list your system specs and what iOS device you are launching to and iOS. (ie iPhone 5S running iOS 9 )

@Nick Jackson: Please try with Tappy Chicken, if you have not already, so that we are all on the same page.

-Thanks

anonymous_user_4030fea0 · April 27, 2016, 1:08pm

Hi

I downloaded Tappy Chicken from the link you provided. I changed Bundle Identifier to match

Windows

When I try to Launch on Device I get this [error log output][2]

When I try to install the .IPA via IphonePackager

Mac

When I try to Launch on Device [I get this error log:][4]

When I try to upload the app using iTunes it loads the application, installs it, then immediately deletes it from the phone.

I have turned on trusted developer in Device settings.

iMac (Late 2015 Model) is running 10.11.4.

Windows 8

iPhone 6+ running iOS 9.3.1

Tried UE4 versions 4.11 and 4.10

Please let me know if you would like to follow any other steps to attempt to reproduce. Thanks

Sanchez1139 · April 27, 2016, 6:50pm

Hi ,

This was the Original thread i started about this, Exact same problem as Nick all my specs and what i have done are on there

https://.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?107153-Build-And-Test-on-IOS-Device-Problems

Sanchez1139 · April 27, 2016, 7:11pm

Hi ,

I almost forgot, I am using IOS 9.3.1 on an iPhone 6s

Developing on and have tried both

MAC Pro (Hackintosh) 10.11.4, UE4 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11
PC with Certs and Provisions from XCODE UE4 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11

i7-4790k @4.6 32Gb Ram

anonymous_user_bcdd396d · April 28, 2016, 6:08pm

I believe the following AnswerHub Post addresses and provides the fix for this issue as the user was experiencing the same error in the their Project Log:

ipa will not install to device (iOS)

While I suggest reading the entire post for a better understanding of the problem, here are some key points:

Apple’s World Wide Developer Relations certificate recently expired. Make sure you have the new one installed: (https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/ install the WWDR certificate expiring in 2023).
Delete all old Certs, Identifiers and Provisions then create new key pairs with with 4.9 iPhonePackager. Then recreate all the Apple necessities.
For UE4.10, Use the attached iPhonePackager. Put it in 4.10InstallDir/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/IOS and then package as normal: 80982-iphonepackager.zip
Alternately, use this packager: 81003-iphonepackager

Please try these steps and let me know if they do not resolve the issue.

Thanks,

.

Sanchez1139 · April 29, 2016, 9:47am

@Nick Jackson, @

I tried all of the above with no joy, so i plumped into buying my Dev licence as i need it for my XCODE work as well
Anyway built Tappy Chicken to test and tested on my phone, YESS straight on no issues, so i packaged up .ipa and installed via iTunes and worked also

So that fixed it for me, hope this helps

anonymous_user_bcdd396d · April 29, 2016, 5:02pm

So one detail I did not see mentioned before on this post is that you are working with XCode 7. From the following forum post, it appears it is possible to Launch On Device and Package (and transfer to device through iTunes), but additional steps are required:

https://.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?81130-Xcode-7-deploy-to-iOS-device-without-joining-developer-program

anonymous_user_4030fea0 · May 1, 2016, 1:18am

Thanks for info @DylanBatt74. I also tried everything @ suggested but to no avail. I can regenerate new provision but I can’t work out how to regenerate developers certificate without being a member of Apple Developers Program.

I first generated it in March. This was after the old WWDR expired. I have deployed UE4 games on my device after the WWDR expiry date so I don’t think it has anything to do with that.

The strangest thing is that I can use the same provision and certificate to deploy an xCode application. But I can’t use them to deploy UE4 app for some reason.

@DylanBatt74 - what have you done differently after joining ADP? Can I get this to work without having to fork out the fee?

Sanchez1139 · May 1, 2016, 1:31pm

I have not done anything differently,apart from where you upload your generated key to Apple to generate cert then download along with the provision, i have also generated the key as a wildcard along with my app provision as this just enables me to use for developing games and app and not having to generate a provision for each app
When I’m ready to deploy to store I will create a new provision which will be specific to the app

But apart from that all I have done is use the paid for method, as I need for uploading to store and this way
Sorry I can’t be more helpful but I was having the same issues and that fixed for me

anonymous_user_bcdd396d · May 3, 2016, 5:39pm

In a conversation with our primary iOS Developer, Peter Sauerbrei, he suggested that “[you] either [have] old provisions or don’t realize the Apple World Wide Developer Authority Certificate expired in February and must be uninstalled.”

Please make sure that this has been uninstalled and that you are running the updated certificate from Apple. Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.
