Hello!

My first post here. I'm normally the DevOps guy, but they have me working on iOS to see how things go :)

I built this simple hello world type iOS app and packaged and signed it (manually). I connected my iPad Air 2 to my Mac Mini M1 and I dragged and dropped it onto the iPad Air 2. It's not working out and I'm kinda stuck. The first issues I ran across were Info.plist related and I think I got those worked out (I don't see them erroring anymore).

Here is the error output I'm getting right now on the iPad Air 2 console:

Code Block error	14:52:13.193028-0500	containermanagerd	[0] command=0, client=<<~~~>, u=<501/501/~~/2/1000>, uid=33, pid=441, sandboxed=1, platform=2>, error=21 (CONTAINER_NOT_FOUND)

I'd really appreciate some help.

Thank you.

When I look at more than just the error output, I get a bit more information:

Code Block default	22:55:00.406095-0500	installd	com.saxzez.client:7:5:1:1:Start : Install (New)

I do remember creating a provisioning profile. I guess I need to figure out how to get these two things (app and provisioning profile) together.

I am able to drag and drop my .app onto a iPad Air 2 simulator and I see it installed there. I checked my physical iPad Air 2 and see that my provisioning profile is installed there, so that's good. I don't get what I'm going wrong, but I guess it must be with the signing.

Here is the command I'm using for that:

Code Block codesign -f -s "Apple Development: Bob Smith (XXXXXXXXXX) " Saxzez-Client.app

My Info.plist:

Code Block <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
