Change the iOS target version

Hamilton_Tenório_da_ — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:02:15 GMT

Change the iOS target version (Build Settings) to 5.1.1.

I think it will solve this issue.

Nick_F_2 — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:29:16 GMT

Do I do think in the config.xml file, I cannot see were to do it within the XDK build options.

Sorry didn't check last post, should have said:

You can´t change in the

Hamilton_Tenório_da_ — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:35:32 GMT

You can´t change in the config.xml file. The system will override that.

You need to change this option at XDK: PROJECT tab, Cordova 3.x Hybrid Mobile APP Settings, Build Settings, iOS tab.

Hi No I get the same error.

Nick_F_2 — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:45:35 GMT

No I get the same error.

Make sure your appID in the

John_H_Intel2 — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:22:23 GMT

Make sure your appID in the build settings matches what you created in the apple developer portal.

Hi

Nick_F_2 — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 16:04:02 GMT

Sorry it is and I still get the same error.

Not sure what the issue is.

John_H_Intel2 — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:40:18 GMT

Not sure what the issue is. Your apps is currently 50 Mb. Can you try reducing the size of it and reupload, and build to see if there is a connection issue going on?

Hi John

Nick_F_2 — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:48:00 GMT

Hi John

I have just received an email with a successful build for iOS. I'm current on a different project, so not sure how that was generated.

The project size looks like an asset issue there isn't much code. All Assets are compressed jpeg except app icons.

Try using png's instead a

John_H_Intel2 — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:03:15 GMT

Try using png's instead a jpeg files and see if that makes a difference.

The reason I used JPEG files

Nick_F_2 — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:35:26 GMT

The reason I used JPEG files was to keep the size down, the PNG files were huge by comparison because of the hi resolution images for the iPads and retina displays.

Regardless, you said you got

John_H_Intel2 — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:43:20 GMT

Regardless, you said you got a successful build email. That means that it worked once for you :)

I have seen issues where very large apps can fail to build since they need to be transferred around in the cloud.

Has this been resolved? Or

Makecentz — Sun, 29 Mar 2015 20:19:38 GMT

Has this been resolved? Or does anyone know why the error gets triggered? I get this alot also. Even on a build that passed before. I tried all of the basic explanations posted here and everywhere else, even the simple one's. Did anyone get a clear reason or solution? Thanks in advance.

Eric_H_Intel — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 04:39:45 GMT

This has been resolved and was a Cordova 3.3 issue.

One item of note, Cordova 3.3 does not produce arm64 binaries and cannot be submitted to the app store (as of Feb 1, 2015). You can still build for 3.3 but if you want to submit to the Apple store you willI need to build with Cordova 3.5 or 4.1.2.
