Hi! not sure that I can help you in your iPad case, I have not tried preparing provisioning profiles for iPads, but process should be fairly similar to iPhone. My suggestion would be to update your Titanium Studio/SDK to the latest available version (this writing was done before version 2.0 came up) and try to reproduce above steps

p.s. If your app starts and shows startup screen on the device — that’s not a provisioning profile problem, you should debug your app logic to figure out what’s going on

i’m not sure if you can see my reply or not. i follow up your steps exactly as above but now i get a weird problem: all the build / archive / install processes are successful, and i can start my app on my iPad. BUT the app shows the startup picture and then nothing else (means it shows that picture forever but doesn’t run the real ‘app.js’)?

attach is my console log in Titanium and the iPad console log. it’s weird that on my iPad the app runs successfully but the console doesn’t have the message ‘[INFO] Application started’ (i can run my app on iOS simulator successfully, through Titanium studio).

thanks a lot.

Before you choose “Install to iOS”, Titanium will ask you for dev certificate & provisioning profile for your app. This works OK if you’re using your personal provisioning profile, but the whole process fails if you select AdHoc provisioning profile specifically created to distribute your app for other iOS devices. If you have not experienced those kind of issues, probably testflight does some magic for you behind the scenes

Unless I’m mistaken, you can just copy the .ipa from your build/iPhone folder (after you do a Install to IOS device) for distribution without going into Xcode. I use testflight and just upload my .ipa from my build folder to share it. Does the process you are describing above do something different?

The scenario you’re mentioning works OK when all you have to do is run app on your own device. When you want to showcase app for other people, meaning that they should be able to install it on their devices — you must tackle Xcode & provisioning stuff. Sadly, Titanium does not provide such functionality out of the box

Or you can do a ‘Install to iOS Device’ from Titanium Studio and you never need to open XCode. It even prompts you upload the correct provision profiles and installs them into XCode for you.
