iOS 4.2 Build onto Device Fails

Hi

I am trying to deploy my final BETA onto the device before I build for distribution, however I keep getting an install failed.

Below is the report from the build.log, can anyone shed any light? I am on a really tight timescale :(

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
Knight Finder:
    PhaseScriptExecution Pre-Compile "/Users/thesargenator/Titanium/Knight Finder/build/iphone/build/Knight Finder.build/Release-iphoneos/Knight Finder.build/Script-241EAF36118E30260081A5BE.sh"
(1 failure)

EXIT CODE WAS: 1

Exception detected in script:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.4.2/iphone/builder.py", line 994, in main
    execute_xcode("iphoneos%s" % iphone_version,args,False)
  File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.4.2/iphone/builder.py", line 790, in execute_xcode
    output = run.run(args,False,False,o)
  File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.4.2/iphone/run.py", line 31, in run
    sys.exit(rc)

    I seen the strange image issue as well. I had to remove files in and out to narrow it down and it turns out if you save an jpg into .png file type or vice-versa, you get that error. I spent countless hours figuring this out but that was the issue for me. Maybe titanium will fix it but I'm not counting on it, I just watch the images when I save them.

    • Mm ok, I shall try that approach and see if I can get it to build. How does it know that an image saved from Jpg to Png though, if this is doen outside of the TI route folder?

    • Great this worked, thanks. But check out my next problem above. Did you encounter this at all?

    • I had the same issue but in a different form: XCode 4 was telling me that the build failed because it was unable to find a shell script. When I examined the actual build log, it referred to a .png file that I had created dynamically with my app in the Simulator. Getting rid of the dynamic pngs and cleaning the build solved the problem.

  • This happens also when your code has some syntax errors.

    • Phew! You just saved my ass Kristof. Was going to remove images like the other answers are saying, even though I had not added any new images since last successful build… Luckily I took some time to read my code and found the silly error.

      Thanx!

  • Can you open up the Xcode project and debug it on device?

    I get errors attempting to build on device through Titanium… I have to do it through Xcode…

    • Not sure how to actually install onto my device through xCode, I am looking into that at the moment

    • Justin - I uploaded a quick screen here: http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk292/k0rneliuz/stuff/?action=view&current=ScreenFlow.mp4

      maybe that will help..

    • Hey Critter, I am sort of getting there, although I get the following build fail:
      Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 2
      I am tempted to try going back to 4.1 and 1.4.1.1 Titanium SDK.

    • Cant be bothered to back out everything, would mean having to try and change my iPhone back to 4.1, and the SDK etc. Why is Titanium so unreliable sometimes :(

      — commented December 2nd 2010 by Justin Howard

  • I've just get this error. And I found this bug occurs due to my app has a "strange" .png image. This image is originally in .jpeg (find in google images) and i convert & resize it to .png format. After remove this "invalid" image, my app run normally.

    Check you app and tell me if using my method, you can fix this bug :)

  • Bump, I have tried everything today. And I cant downgrade to 4.1 iOS. So am really at a loss now. Still unable to build onto the device with either Ti or xCode

    • All sorted for some reason. It does seem a little touch and go, but so far the app seems to be building for distribution

      — commented December 2nd 2010 by Justin Howard

  • I am getting that last exit code 2 error as well, any solutions?

    • It turned out it was to do with an image that was a JPG then converted to a PNG. I just deleted all the images, and then added them one at a time till I found the one causing the problem. I then created a new PNG of that image and it all worked.
