– Using iPhone 5 with iOS 8.
– I did enable web inspector in settings -> safari -> advanced.
– App was exported as an IPA file in Xcode with “Ad Hoc distribution” using a cert and a provisioning profile, then installed on device using iTunes.
– Device is detected in gapdebug but it can’t recognize the app when running (says “Launch debug-enabled Cordova app to begin debugging…”)
– When opening some webpage using Safari on the device, gapdebug DOES detect and list it for debugging.
Any help will be welcome,
will supply any extra information that is advised.
THANKS 🙂Hi fullmetal,
You can’t debug an app signed by Ad-Hoc distribution, debugging is only allowed for apps that are signed by developer cert/provision profile. This is not a GapDebug limitation, but rather iOS/Apple requirement. If you install your IPA through GapDebug UI you’ll see a warning message about that.
Regards,
Vadim RidoshThank you for your response Vadim,
could you kindly explain to how sign an app with a cert and a provision profile (which I have both ready) so I will be able to export and install via GapDebug to be able to debug?
>could you kindly explain to how sign an app with a cert and a provision profile
Basically you configure your app build tool such as MyEclipse, PhoneGap Build or XCode with an official Apple iOS certificate and provision profile. During the build process the tool will configure the app with the profile and sign the executable with the certificate. In order to debug any iOS app, Apple requires it be signed with a developer certificate and provision profile.
Here are a couple of resources for using our MyEclipse mobile tools that includes info on certs, profiles and configuring the build process:
