Kilian, Apple suggests using ln rather than aliases. I don’t know why, but it’s possible aliases don’t work in all circumstances. (Or maybe Apple just thinks copy-paste is easier than a multi-step process.)

I don’t know if anybody can be helped by this entry, but maybe: first of all no commandline editing is necessary, we can command-alt-drag the folder to create an alias (which then has to be renamed) or we can even duplicate that folder… (which will clutter our diskspace) But: either of the three solutions may cease to work, even after it had already worked fine… this is where i am coming in today, after several hours of being close to a very unhappy mail to apple – and you guys helped, but the final solution you provided, which is so simple like command-alt-dragging that folder, is not found that obviously in your text, so i frame it a little bit

if the symbolic link to the framework exists, but the iPhone is still rejected:

RESTART YOUR IPHONE – XCode will love you for that :-/

it was that simple, but i would never have thought of that, because the iPhone was detected and it also worked without any troubles (exept the compilation thingy)

I had that problem, Carl, but earlier than 3.0.1. I think I ultimately just downloaded the profiles again from Apple’s portal site, and re-selected them in the project settings. But it was a while ago.

Steven, Thanks, I see the provisioning files that I added back. They show up in the organizer window and when I get info on the project I set the distribution profile correctly and still get this error?

The iPhone “iPhone” doesn’t have the provisioning profile with which the application was signed.

Please add the provisioning profile via the Organizer, or check the “Code Signing Identity” build setting.

Carl, you’ll probably have to add the provisioning file again to the organizer again.

OK, deleted and redid the copy and paste and it is now working but now doesn’t find the mobile provisioning files

I have followed the directions and still get the error when I copy and paste into terminal a second time it says file already exists so I guess I did it correctly but when I restart the iPhone and computer, then run Xcode, organizer gives me the same error about the OS version and cannot put my apps onto my iPhone device any longer.

Would appreciate any help, thank you!

Glad it helped. I should probably put a note in the article about restarting the iPhone. That always helps. (Kinda sad!)

Thanks a lot Steven, you've been a great help!

I thought that the command line trick was creating a new 3.0.1 entry in the sdk combo box, but no it just makes the 3.0 work using an iPhone with a 3.0.1 firmware.

As you said, I first had to enable my iPhone again, going to the Organizer, and push the button to "make this iPhone a development device".

Then, I got a new error message while compiling and I understood I had to clean the build folder first.

Everything's going nice since then.

Thanks!
