iOS Question [SOLVED]B4i 7.0 / Xcode 12.3 / Compiling error / Questions

[christianjeannot]

Hello Community,

I tried to compile a test app (Hello World) to understand how B4i, the compiling, the certificates and the provisioning profiles works.
From the experiences with Xojo I do not use wildcards in the App Identifier Bundle. I use explicit one.

I am using a local Builder with
- Apple Mac Mini Late 2014
- macos 11.1
- xcode 12.3 (12C33)
- B4i 7.00

On my PC I am using
- Windows 10 1909 Build 18363.836
- B4i 7.00

I have configured the package name according to my Bundle Identifier.

I can run the B4i Buildserver test page on port 51041.

Is it correct that the test page only works on port 51041 and not on ssl, port 51042?

I follow the Videos "B4i Certificate and Provision Profile" and "B4i-Bridge" from Erel. The certificate and provisioning profile are stored in the Keys directory and in Xcode.

When I try to Build the Bridge App I got

Error: ** BUILD FAILED **

Why it said B4iProject? I expected to see the Bundle Identifier / Package name here.
Is the Deployment Target with 8.0 correct?

Is there more documentation about B4i and the compiling procedure? From the Booklet titles I found not more.

If both informations are valid what can I do to fix this?

Best regards

I remember from Erel setup profiles and certificates video you need a wildecard profile for build a bridge.

 

[Erel]

The two relevant tutorials are:

• Creating a certificate and provisioning profile
• Installing B4i-Bridge and debugging first app

You do need a wildcard id when building B4i-Bridge, though the error here looks different. It seems like the certificate and provision profile do not match.

I will send you a temporary id for the hosted builder. It is easier to start with it.

It might be that you have not selected your device (put a check on it) in apple developer account when you create your profile. An other option is that you did not name the provisioning profile "default" (but if I remember correctly you would get a warning about that). A third option is that you did not set correctly the keys folder in your B4i (Tools > Configure paths - you need to place in this folder the provisioning profile).

@Alex_197
Thank you for this hint. I had missed that.

@Erel
Thank you for the links. I will check them.
I will test thew hosted builder but as I have a Mac infrastructure I try to solve the errors and use my own infrastructure.

@hatzisn
Thank you for your hints. I will check them.

Hi @all,

In my first try the Build Server was running with sudo. I have not found an information or overlook it but as which user has the Build Server to run?

When I run it now as normal user I got a different error message where it is more clear that this is a certificate issue. So I guess this can run as a normal user.

error: Provisioning profile "ProvTestB4i" has app ID "biz.cjse.b4itest", which does not match the bundle ID "biz.cjse.b4i1st.bridge". (in target 'B4iProject' from project 'B4iProject')
error: Provisioning profile "ProvTestB4i" doesn't include signing certificate "iPhone Distribution: Christian Jeannot (**********)". (in target 'B4iProject' from project 'B4iProject')

Now with this error message I understand better why to use a wildcard.

When I try to compile Release App and Simulator Release App the compile action is working.

I am not able to copy the .ipa file to the device but this is also a certificate issue.

So I will creaste new certificates and continue.

Best regards

Hello Community,

after some tests with new certificates and provisioning profiles I am able to build the Bridge-App and test a example app

Best regards
