iOS Question Xcode

[kc1]

First of all, I have both hosted and local Mac builds setup for my B4i. They both worked fine.

Recently I received some sample Xcode projects that I want to build with Xcode, and I received a message near the end of build in Xcode apparently asking for password for my hosted build server. What should I do?

I am a novice when it comes to building iOS apps, so I fumbled around, went to developer.apple.com and created another certificate, assuming that would solve my problem. Well, I don't know what to do with the new certificate.

My old certificated that I got from setting up B4i is now invalid and replaced by the new certificate (I think). I can still build via hosted in B4i, but my Xcode is still asking for a password. It had a message "codesign wants to use the 'xxxx' key change." Since I don't have that password, so Xcode could not proceed.

I couldn't find any information to resolve my issue.

Please help.

Thank you,
kc

Maybe i am wrong so Erel will correct me but the hosted builder is maybe only to be used with b4i not xcode

hosted build server works only with b4i from a windows PC and not from your mac. to build an app in xcode on your local mac you will need to create a certification and provisions file same like you did with b4i but only that xcode will do it automatically for you.

i have done it on my local mac and run a xcode game and everything works fine. maybe the password he ask you is your appstore password...
hard to tell without to see it

tufanv and ilan,

Thanks for your replies!

I know that B4i runs on Windows PC only. Now I wish I hadn't setup my Mac for local build. Perhaps undoing/disabling "local build" will help.

I don't know how to undo "local build" or how to separate/disassociate my local Mac's Xcode from B4i.

Right now, I'm stuck not being able to build with Xcode on my Mac. I hope to be able to build some Xcode sample and perhaps one day build libraries I can use in B4i.

Note that you don't need a certificate to write libraries.

You can open Keychain Access and delete the keychain created by the builder.
It will create it again when you compiler.

I use my mac mini as local builder and i also can build apps in xcode alone so i dont see any problems using my mac as my b4i builder and also use it to build 100% xcode apps.

Your issue is not related to the fact that u use your local mac to build b4i apps!

Erel, thank you for your tip about "Keychain Access" because I'm not familiar with the Mac OS and all its details. I deleted the builder keychain and was able to build my sample project with Xcode

ilan, thank you for confirming that it is possible to build Xcode projects and use local Mac for B4i apps on the same Mac. I didn't have time to give that a try yesterday, but I'm sure it'll work
