How fix iPhone encountered unexpected error 0xE8000001 install phase?

Hi Ed,

Were you able to resolve your remote debugging issue? I'm running into the same problem.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for following up, Ed.

Here's a new thread on the subject of failing to start remote debugserver, if anyone has any suggestions: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1620918

I hit the same problem with my iPhone awhile back.
I restored my iPhone using the Organizer window in xCode and it went away.

Hope it works for you as well!

jmillers,

Whn you say you had the same problem, which problem are you referring to? Are you referring to the error when installing an app on the iPhone from Xcode or the error when trying to connect to the remote debugserver?

Thanks,
Jeff

I was referring to the error when installing the app on an iPhone.

i am having same issue.. i have been signing and installing my app all day
then all of i sudden i get this error .. and tried turning on and off
the iphone several times and still now avail..

it signs ok but i thikn what happened was i tried to cancel the xcode when it was installing the app onto the iphone.. i made a quick code change and then
did another recompile and it started to install the app onto the iphone again..
but then i quite xcode all together and tried to install again

but then got the 0xE8000001 error...

going to do a restore.
hopefuly it's just hte iPhone that got whacky

yep.. my certs and provisiong files were okay
just had to restore the iPhone OS and resync my apps
something got it whacky
(ie: canceling a install of your app or redoing another compile
and install while the old install is still going)

(no way to cancel an "installin app onto your iphone")

I am getting the error 0xE8000001. My full name is four words: "Rodrigo da Silva Guerra". I tried adding the colon and the space and then the name, like this "iPhone Developer: Rodrigo da Silva Guerra" but the provisioning profile does not appear. I tried almost any imaginable combination of small case and big case, omitting middle name, switching order, etc and still got nothing. I only got the default provisioning profile option available. I also tried restarting the device several times and I tried restoring factory defaults at least three times. Any ideas?

I get the same error, but this thred didn't help me.
I changed the various parameters in the Info.plist but without successifully.
I installed the final SDK andmy iphone has the 2.0 Firmware.
Where can i start to get some usefull indication to solve the problem?

Thanks

I had the same problem too. I think the only step I had missed was downloading the Development Certificate (Program Portal->Certificates->Download, assuming it was already added). I had forgotten this step because the status of the certificate was initially Pending and the Download button was unavailable. After running into app installation problems I dug around and finally returned to the Certificates page after a few hours and it had become Issued. I then followed the instructions for downloading and using the certificate and that fixed the installation problem for me.

What's unfortunate here is that we all ran into the same installation error in spite of the fact that many of us had different root causes. Hopefully Xcode will be more detailed in its error reports soon.

Thanks for your reply, but i found a tip that tell me that i have to be in paid developer program to use this function.
Thanks.

Dave,

Thanks for this. Works great! The 0xE8000001 is really a catch all error and very frustrating.

My problem was the same as jlpp. I had skipped the step where I download and install the certificate in my keychain. After doing that everything worked fine.
