iOS Question b4i-bridgr cannot download application

[franchsesko]

Hi,
I've created the developer certificate and provisioning profile, and all my files are in a c:\<company>\b4i\Keys directory.
Having had the problem I'm going to describe, I actually done that twice, deleting all the files in the \Keys subdirectory and revoking the first certificate as I read in a post.
I use the hosted builder.
My project files (actually the bacground location tutorial project) is in the directory C:\<company>\b4i\Projects\BackGroundLocation.
When I ask to compile the b4i bridge app, all seems to go well.
I use an iPhone 4 with iOS 9.5.3 as a developer device.
When I go to the hosted builder page with my code, I get the "download app" button.
I click the button to get the b4i-bridge app and I answer OK to install the app.
Unfortunately, this is where it stops. I get a message box telling me that the app could not be downloaded.
I also get an app icon titled ("Installation...") which tries to re-download the app, but with the same error message.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here, did I miss something ?

Did it previously work with this device?

Have you installed the B4I certificate on the device?

 

[franchsesko]

Sorry, forgot to mention that I did install the b4i certificate (www.b4x.com/ca.pem) so I have an active "B4I" profile on the device.
However, it's the first time I use this device for development.

I also double-checked the UDID (which I got via a UDID finder app and manually entered) in the downloaded provisoned profile file; I've provisioned 2 devices and the UDID of this device is the second one. The UDID is OK.

Start a new project, change the package name based on your app id and try to create B4i-Bridge. Are you able to install it?

 

[franchsesko]

Unfortunately not, same problem. Created an empty project, set the id to net.<company>.empty, build ok, but same error message when downloading.

 

[Erel]

Are you able to install it on the other device (without building again)?

 

[franchsesko]

Can't use the other device, not in my hands for a moment. I can try on an iPad later today. Be back then.

 

[franchsesko]

So, I registered an iPad (iOS 10.2.1) and it works on the iPad, but still not on the iPhone 4.

 

[Erel]

Can you send me a private message with your hosted builder id?

 

[Erel]

And the answer is...

You are using a "fake" udid. The udid should never start with fffff. My guess is that you extracted it with an app. It is not possible.
Two possible ways to extract the udid: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/creating-a-certificate-and-provisioning-profile.45880/

 

[franchsesko]

Awsome, that was it.
I used two different apps, one on the iphone and another on the ipad. The one on the iPad worked, the iPhone's one was giving the "fake" UDID.
I used iTunes to get the UDID and it works now.
Thanks !
