How fix iPhone encountered unexpected error 0xE8000001 install phase?

turinreza (and others in the same boat) ...

This is exactly the same steps that causes a similar 0xE8000001 error for me. I can be installing my app all day long without error but the minute I do it while canceling a build in progress and making even a one character code change causes me to get a 0xE8000001 error and ebing unable to load anything on the iPhone or touch unless I do a restore.

Darn inconvenient. Just FYI in case anyone else runs into this wall.

PS. I fist thought it might have something to do with my developer name having a hyphen in it (Janik-Jones), but I think that's really unlikely.

I am able to run one application on my iphone but not the other. I have set the right provisioning profile and did everything possibly correct. I had just switched to the final SDK and my old app still installs on my device with final SDK but the new app I made on the final SDK does not installs to the iphone..


Help me. Please....

I struggled also with this same error for a few days not being able to install the sample apps on my phone. What fixed it for me was I had to restore my iPhone. I did this in iTunes. The instructions for this weren't that clear. Seems they were more geared to this that had iPhone OS 2.0 pre-launch installed. I didn't get into this program until just acouple of days ago, so I already had the official 2.0 installed on my phone. After installing all the certificates and provisioning profiles etc the last thing I had to do was restore my iPhone OS software. I did this in iTunes by pressing the Restore button, which takes you through backing up the iphone etc. Once I restored the software on the iPhone I was able to get all the sample apps from the ADC installed on my iPhone.

I'm still having the same issue.

I tried almost everything. My certificates, development/production provisioning profiles are created and installed on the device, I tried restoring the phone multiple times to no avail.

Does the phone need to be activated in order to install apps?

Thanks.

Same problem, but was able to fix:

1) Use a wildcard company info
2) In Xcode make sure Windows->organizer has the proper provision checked
3) open a Sample project
4) Open the info.plist and make sure to have a bundle identifier. example: com.atari.* that matches your company
5) Make sure there is an icon file
6) Highlight the top level of your project (in overview), click the Info button on the top
- Go to Build Tab
- Code Signing identity enter: iPhone Developer:[SPACE][YOUR NAME]
- Code Signing Provisioning Profile: Select the provision profile used in the organizer
- Any iPhone OS Device = select above provisioning profile
* clincher
- Under Code Signing Provisioning Profile change one of the "Any iPhone OS Device" to
"Device - iPhone OS 2.0" then set it to the above provision profile
Close it

Select Device | Debug Build
Do a clean build (Build-> Clean all targets)

SHOULD WORK!?

Thanks PatSwam!

Apparently, all I had to do was activate the phone, restore, clean, and build!

Your steps helped me through.

Thank you for your help PatSwam but it still doesn't works on my iPhone. I followed the steps but I still get that freaking error :S. Is there anyone else who know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance,

To my mind, it was the not fully installed iPhone Developer Certificate in my case. Please have a look at this post:

this didn't work for me. I was still unable to select my provisioning profile in the Info. I went back to the Portal and noticed that my name was ALL CAPS. I copied my name directly from the portal (in all caps), and then used that iPhoneDeveloper: MY NAME

Then that worked for me....

If you try TheElements sample or you're working on a project with a teammate and for some reason you can't download to the hardware in Debug, Release or both you may be wondering why you get the Connection/Signing Error in the Organizer.

You want the solution? When you change the iPhone Developer: <name> setting the info get's saved when you exit the project. It's best to keep this field set to "iPhone Developer" and Use "Default Provisioning" info. Otherwise as in the example of the TheElements sample it wont run on hardware.

To FIX THIS PROBLEM.

1) Open the project in XCode,
2) make sure iPhone Developer: <your name> is set for ALL build configurations.
3) EXIT Xcode (which causes the save of the project)
4) Open the project.pbxproj on your PC.. Recall that an Xcode project is a package or directory. So open and edit it.
5) Search for iPhone Developer
6) You'll notice some versions of it have a different developer name that's not yours. Change all occurences to match your name.
7) Save File
8) Open file on Mac in Xcode
9) Build for Device

Voila it works.

What happened? Xcode file got corrupted.

maikuru,

i would firstly like to thank you a great deal, your post made me try something out of the blue. i will explain: i have tried several tutorial to try and install onto my dev iPhone , all saying you have to edit the .plist file to get things to work. some people have cured their issues with this but i was still getting problems....none of the tutorial say the you shouldn't put the unique 10 digit part of the provisioning profile in.

I have been entering XXXXXXXXXX.SE2.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier} instead of E2.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}, which when i read you post made me try the latter and now it works i can install on my dev device with no problems.

Kudos to you and thank you again.
