Hey,

Been trying to figure this one out for some time now.

When exporting to ipa and trying to install on an iOS device, we get this in the device log.

<Error>: entitlement 'get-task-allow' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile

I am not certain I am using the right approach but this is what I do:

html file:

<html>

</html>

GDXTest.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>items</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>assets</key>
			<array>
				<dict>
					<key>kind</key>
					<string>software-package</string>
					<key>url</key>
					<string>http://..servername-removed../GDXTest.ipa</string>
				</dict>
			</array>
			<key>metadata</key>
			<dict>
				<key>bundle-identifier</key>
				<string>com.jk.bstest</string>
				<key>kind</key>
				<string>software</string>
				<key>title</key>
				<string>GDXTest</string>
			</dict>
		</dict>
	</array>
</dict>
</plist>

.. and the IPA ofcourse

The app works on the device when using run on iOS device from eclipse. Libgdx, robovm updated to nightlies today.

I have been experimenting with trying to set 'get-task'allow' to false in Entitlements.plist or Info.plist but I don't really know what I am doing haha.

Anyways, if I could get an ipa export working, that would make the development process much easier.

Thanks for the awesome work, any pointers welcomed.

get-task-allow must be false in the IPA if you are submitting it to App Store. For ad-hoc distribution (which it sounds like you're trying) I also think it has to be false. RoboVM sets it to true when running on device from Eclipse and to false when exporting to IPA. Please check your provisioning profile you're using. There's an Entitlements section in there and I think it should be false. You can read this file with 'less' from Terminal. Let me know what it says.

Yes You were right, the provisioning profile had get-task-allow set to true. Making a new certificate and then new provisioning profile fixed it.

Notes and steps:

Don't manually edit the provisioning profile file :)

1. Follow the instructions on developer.apple.com for creating a new release/ad-hoc certificate.

- Keychain tool: Keychain Access -> Certificate Assistant -> Request Certificate from a Certificate Authority

- blahblah email, Distribution/ad-hoc..

- Upload certificate to developer.apple.com (not sure if this was needed)

2. Create a new provisioning profile on developer.apple.com of type release/ad-hoc, and use the certificate created in step 1.
