Where do I find ltverify.class?

[JeffWeyant]

I'm trying to use Xcode to attach an Apple Distribution Profile to an app previously created in Appcelerator, and get a message that it can't find org/appcelerator/titanium/tiverify.class.

The app was created on an old MacMini, using Appcelerator Studio. I can't create a Proifle with the version of XCode installed there, and can't upgrade XCode, because that MacMini is too old. I copied the workspace from the old MacMini to the new one, with the latest version of XCode, but when I try to build it, I get the error: "library not found for 'ltiverify". I assume this is because I need to copy over more than just my project workspace, but can't seem to find it.

Hi, which SDK version are you using?
Normally you shouldn't use XCode to build the app. There is this PR #13032 that will fix some Xcode stuff so you can build apps again.
Do you have Titanium installed on the new machine? If so run ti build -p ios --target ? and select your profile using the menu. Everything you'll need is in the workspace/application-name folder.

I'm not sure if tiverify is still used if you trying to build it with SDK 11. Isn't that a module that verified modules before?

you didn't use sudo to run the command. Otherwise https://stackoverflow.com/a/61646294/5193915

Ahhh, thanks. Didn't realize the command on the fromzerotoapp was missing that. Do I preface all the commands they list with sudo? Or just that one?

[m1ga]

I'll change that, it's my site 😄 If you want to install npm packages that you want to access for all users you run it with sudo npm i -g the rest of the ti commands will be local commands. So it's just the install part from npm

If I'm trying to build from the command line, can I just remove the references to the Appcelerator GUID, rather than trying to generate a different one?

[m1ga]

never tried it without. I just use a random one from the url in the tutorial or uuidgen in a terminal

[JeffWeyant]

Thanks! I think I've almost got it. Got everything installed. Changed the target SDK in tiapp.xml to the installed 11.0.0. Incremented the app's version number.

It started compiling, and finally got the error:
[ERROR] titanium_prep failed to run (10)
[ERROR] This application cannot be built with the Titanium open source SDK because it is an Appcelerator Platform registered application. Please use the Appcelerator Platform CLI tools or Appcelerator Studio to build this application.

Is there something I can edit in the tiapp.xlm to get around this?

[m1ga]

sure, I have a tutorial for almost everything 😄 https://fromzerotoapp.com/transfer-your-app-from-appc-cli-to-ti-cli/
change the GUID

Nice site! I seem to have the compilation working now, and now just have what looks like a certificate issue when it's done:

[TRACE] error: No profile for team 'C595F4F3RW' matching 'Fluor SAs Distribution Profile 20230207' found: Xcode couldn't find any provisioning profiles matching 'C595F4F3RW/Fluor SAs Distribution Profile 20230207'. Install the profile (by dragging and dropping it onto Xcode's dock item) or select a different one in the Signing & Capabilities tab of the target editor. (in target 'Fluor SAs' from project 'Fluor SAs')

Not sure what that [TRACE] error is telling me. I've checked XCode, and the team, profile, and certificate are all correct.

[m1ga]

hmmm...not that familiar with iOS errors but I would just create a new certificate and provisioning profile and import that on your machine. Just to make sure all are fine. There are some google hits when you search for those errors e.g. https://fluttercorner.com/requested-but-did-not-find-extension-point-with-identifier/ or this https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/703233?answerId=711300022#711300022 (and following posts)

[JeffWeyant]

Yeah, I tried suggestions on those sites, and a couple others, but to no avail. One thing I did notice... On the original MacMini, the Bundle ID was built as a wildcard: com.fluor.* It looks like after installing XCode on the new MacMini, and copying over all the project files, the Bundle ID showing up in XCode is com.fluor.fluorsas (fluorsas is the name of the project). Do I need to go through XCode, and change references of com.fluor.fluorsas to com.fluor.*? In order to match what's on the certificate?

[m1ga]

You can get them all from the Apple Developer page. The certificates expire after some time. So if you just copy them over from an old machine they are probably out of date. Wildcards are mostly for testing. If you want to build for the store you have to use the specific file.

[JeffWeyant]

It's for ad-hoc deployment through our MDM, not the Apple Play Store. The certificate and profile are both current, (the profile is brand new, that's what started me on this journey, heh). I've downloaded everything from the Apple Developer page, just didn't know if I needed to change the specific Bundle ID in XCode to match the wildcard that was used on the original release, (since that is the App ID used in creating the Provisioning Profile)

[m1ga]

I see, sorry got a bit lost in all the posts 😄 I only use wildcards for dev stuff and matching for deploying on device. But I'm the wrong person for iOS stuff. I'm always glad it works on iOS myself and I don't have to deal with special cases. And I've never done any manuel xcode stuff so don't know that, sorry. Maybe try asking in Slack https://tislack.org since there are more users watching then here :-)

[JeffWeyant]

Thanks, I'll check with them. Your site, and all your help, was instrumental in getting me to this point though. I really appreciate all the help!!
