I have been working on developing an app for iOS for a little while

  • 0

I have been working on developing an app for iOS for a little while now. The app runs fine within the sandbox, but I want to run the app from the /Applications directory.

My procedure for getting the app on the phone is:

  1. Product -> Build For -> Testing

  2. $ scp -r ~/Projects/KegCop/DerivedData/KegCop/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/KegCop.app

  3. $ killall -HUP SpringBoard

After Spring Board restarts, I try launching the app but it just quits as soon as it starts. I have AppSync for 5.x installed, and like I said if I leave the app in /var/mobile/Applications/ it seems to work as expected.

Does anyone know why my app is quiting when I try to launch it from the /Applications directory?

    1) Make sure your release file is Release and not Release.txt

    2) Make sure you generate a valid Packages file.

    The .deb file I was generating was valid, but my Packages was foobar.

    I used the following command $ dpkg-scanpackages debs / > Packages after changing into my local repo directory.

    I then reuploaded everything, closed Cydia, and my app successfully installed \o/
