iOS Question modification doesn`t applied when building release app

[abdarrahim talbi]

Hi,
i have modified the code, when i build b4i-bridge the changes appears,but after when i build the release app , the changes disappear ! any ideas ?

 

[Erel]

Are you using a local builder or the hosted builder?

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

I m using the host builder

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

i`m trying again and again, still the same thing !!

 

[Erel]

Uninstall the app from the device, clean the project (Ctrl + P) and try it again in release mode.

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

i did exactly what you proposed, still the same thing

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

is there a posibility that when i download the release mode, an old version is downloaded ? not the version i modified lately ?
i m still stuck here, can you explain to me the principal that happens when i create the release app ? is there any tutorial ?

 

[Erel]

You don't need to manually download anything. Just compile your app in release mode, with a non-store provision profile, and the app will be installed on your device.

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

that s exactly what i did, see the picture attached. the application compiled with a non store provision profile as you can see
the modifications i made doesn t appear in release mode ! it appears only when building b4i bridge !!!

 

[Erel]

What happens after you see the dialog? What happens on the phone?

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

the app seems to be reinstalling and the icone changes from b4i bridge to the app`s icone !

 

[Erel]

What is the package name (Ctrl + B) ?

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

the package name is : app.sendatrack.com.bridge

 

[aeric]

the package name is : app.sendatrack.com.bridge

Maybe you should avoid using package name ends with .bridge. Try use something like com.sendatrack.app

thanks aeric, but now i m using a provision profile with app ID `app.sendatrack.com.bridge`.

 

[aeric]

Package name normally is a reverse of your domain name + your app id.
For example, com.sendatrack.trackingapp where sendatrack.com (your domain) and trackingapp (your app id)

You may need to create a new provision profile with wildcard such as com.sendatrack.* so in the future you can make another app which use the same provision profile.

For example the second app id is drivingapp so your package name is com.sendatrack.drivingapp

Please refer to the following link:

Installing B4i-Bridge and debugging first app

B4i-Bridge is an application that you install on the device. It has three purposes: 1. Launch the installation process when needed. This step is done with Apple Configurator 2 if using a local builder (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/installing-apps-with-apple-configurator-2.128397/)...

Okay thanks, i will do it. do you think your proposal is a solution for my problem here? the reason behind the modifications do not appear in release mode is reliable with the app ID ?

 

[aeric]

I am not sure but what I understand is we should not use package name ends with .bridge because when we debug our app using B4i bridge, our app will have package name such as com.sendatrack.trackingapp.bridge so in your case it will ended up something like app.sendatrack.com.bridge.bridge

 

[abdarrahim talbi]

Okay i see, i`m using `app.sendatrack.com` when building b4i bridge ! but the build failed in release mode cause the app ID is `app.sendatrack.com.bridge`.
so i think your proposal is totaly correct!
the problem i have to update an app with the bundle id `app.sendatrack.com.bridge`, it will not affect anything if i use a provision profile with this ID `app.sendatrack.com` ?

 

[aeric]

You can use com.sendatrack.bridge to build B4i bridge
