Okay, I am a bit dumbstruck here.
I have firmware 2.0.2 and it's jailbroken.
I installed gcc and the necessary tools as per:
Developing for the iphone using the open toolchain and SDK 2.0 headers - antirez weblog
(had to add make and ldid to get it to work but apart from that, pretty okay)

After the app gets installed however I can't open the executable.
It's there:
iPhone:/Applications/HelloWorld.app root# ls -l
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 108 Sep 20 02:38 Default.png
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 14192 Sep 20 02:39 HelloWorld*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 812 Sep 20 02:38 Info.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 9 Sep 20 02:38 PkgInfo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 2399 Sep 20 02:38 icon.png

..and the permissions seem right....I think?
I have no apps installed from the AppStore...which I see often mentioned when people have probs with 'cannot be opened'.

Oh yes, the application has been signed with ldid -S.

Anyone with any clues?...it would sure be appreciated.

Thanks!

Oh yeah...I should add, this means that the icon is there but when I tap it I get a popup telling me 'The application 'HelloWorld' can not be opened'.

I'm still clueless (

[pingwhen]

its not signed...

[soucerer]

Thats weird, I did ldid -s on it...isn't that the app to sign it?


(tried -s as well as -Sseemed to make no difference)

Anyhow, thanks, I'll look into it again (

Well, I'm at a loss, I definitely signed it (ldid -S HelloWorld). No asserts or nothing so seems okay....but no go.

Darn....I really hope to not have to save up for a Mac.

"The application can not be opened" usually is a signing problem.

Just in case have you checked "HelloWorld.app" directory permissions?

[soucerer]

Well, despite that being a good suggestion - I checked and the attributes seem right, and to make sure I chmodded em to no avail.
Tried respringing, but get 'not rebuilding cache because pre 2.1'.

I'm at a loss (

[soucerer]

Well...it was fixed the moment I installed an app from the appstore. Don't ask why but that seems to add that special something I assume.

Unfortunately this was after about 5 reinstalls and cygwin reinstalls and whatnot....byt yay!...it works (o:

How did you download your own software from AppStore? Thanks!

He didn't install his own software. He just downloaded a random app from the App Store. I've had to do this to fox the same issue. It's a mystery as to why this works.
