Hi

Whenever I try to install a new debug app I get this message after pressing the ipa install button:

(“null)” is Already Installed
“(null)” has the same Bundle ID as “(null)” and can’t be installed. To continue, delete “(null)” from your device and try again.

it's built from an ant project, not the new maven.

I uploaded the ipa to installonair.com and it worked. I previously removed spaces in the name of the file, because I read somewhere that it could be the reason. Not sure about it though.

Hi,
did you try building other apps with Codename One or just this one?

Yes, I did, and same result. Is it only me with this problem? As I said, if I upload the file to another service, then I can install so the ipa is fine.

Ok, I think I figured this out.

When you build for 12.4, it takes the display name for the ipa file, and since it normally has spaces on it, then it won't install.

If you build for 11.3, it takes the main name, which means no spaces and no problems.

Odd. Please file an issue on this.
