Ad-Hoc distribution error 0xE8008015

Where can I go to look up details for the error code 0xE8008015
Does something better than "unknown error" exist in an iTunes log that I can look at?
The error is occuring while trying to deploy an ad-hoc iphone app distribution. Details regarding certs, provisioning profiles, etc. have been followed to the minute detail.
Tried so far:
Re-certing the developer and distribution.
Delete and redo the ad-hoc provision. (The device # for deployment IS checked and accurate)
Change the app sync options in iTunes from All to checking manual.
Different computer/iTunes
Thanks.

I had the same thing here... maybe this helps you:
1. create a distribution provisioning profile - not a development profile!
2. code sign with the correct certificate - your distribution certificate!
3. enter the correct app identifier for the target (see "Building and Installing your Development Application" in http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/provisioningprofiles/howto.action
4. if you have not already setup the code signing entitlements follow the steps here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=738492
5. follow the other (more obvious steps to add the provisioning profile and your app to iTunes
And... good luck - you might need it!

IPhone Ad Hoc distribution error 0xe8000001

Sending an Ad Hoc distribution profile .mobileprovision file and the Distribution build .app to another user to install via iTunes does not seem to work. At all. We only get error 0xe8000001 when iTunes tries to sync. We have checked and double checked the Device IDs.
Has anybody got Ad Hoc iPhone/iPod Touch distribution to work?
Bearing in mind:
The Documentation for Ad Hoc is very sparse, just six bullet points
When creating an Ad Hoc Distribution profile on the Program Portal and then choosing Edit > Modify, you can see that the Type has changed back to App Store from Ad Hoc.
Whats going on? Does this work at all? Is there anybody out there who has got it working?

I'm having the exact same problem with ad hoc distribution. It builds fine, and I can see the app has been signed and it includes the mobileprovision file. But still I get same the error when iTunes tries to install the app.
Has anyone gotten ad hoc distribution to work?

Ad hoc distribution / .mobileprovision error...?

Using the Ad hoc distribution / .mobileprovision capability (with the test users required UDID already added to our Apple Dev account) our test user is dragging the .mobileprovision file onto his iPad listed in iTunes but is getting this error message: "xxx.mobileprovision was not copied to the iPad (xxxiPad) because it cannot be played on this iPad". Any ideas how to solve this so he can deploy our app onto his iPad?

hello
i had same problem, so i checked the mobileprovision file and yes my newly added device wasn't in the list
so i re issued the mobileprovision, checked that my additionnal device is present, but then i got the same message when trying to add it to this new device from itunes...any clue ?
thanks !

Error when installing an ad hoc distribution build - what is this error?

I've followed all the manual instructions to the letter I believe. But when installing the app and provisioning profile on an iPhone (one of the iPhones in the profile) the following error occurs:
the application someAppName was not installed on the phone because an unknown error occurred OxE8000001
Does anybody know what that means and how to fix it? I'm stumped!
I wanted to test with an ad hoc distribution before trying to place the app in the app store.
Thanks!
doug

Same here. I'm still trying to get the big picture as to what these deployment steps are for.
I got my ad hocs to work, and now I'm trying to backtrack what I did:
- Program Portal stuff:
1. Added my device ID
2. Created my app ID
3. Created my adhoc distribution profile with matching app id and device id
- Downloaded the adhoc mobileprovision files and placed it in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
- I have my certificates in my login keychain:
1. Apple Worldwide Developer Relations
2. (Developer) iPhone Developer: My Name
3. (Ad hoc distribution) iPhone Distribution: My Name
- I have a fresh XCode UIView based project:
1. Created a duplicate of Release config for distribution
2. Added entitlements.plist with get-task-allow set to false
3. Set the Code Signing Entitlements build setting to entitlements.plist
4. Set Code Signing Identity: Any iPhone OS Device = iPhone Distribution: My Name
5. Set Code Signing Provisioning Profile: Any iPhone OS Device = My Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile Name
6. Build the project (distribution config with device active sdk)
7. Give the MyApp.app file and my downloaded adhoc .mobileprovision file to the other person
- Install
1. The other person drags the .mobileprovision to her iTunes
2. The other person drags the MyApp.app file to her iTunes
3. Syncing the iPhone successfully installs MyApp

Ad Hoc 0xe8000001 error

I am building my App for Ad Hoc Distribution but I am getting a 0xe8000001 unknown error when I try to install it.
It works perfectly in device debug mode, and I have followed all the instructions exactly over and over, but I still get the error.
It doesn't look like there are any problems in the build log either.
I have read in other places a similar problem, but none of their solutions worked for me.
Also, what happened to the forum search?

Sorry Jason I don't have an answer as I am in the same boat, and figured it was better to join you here instead of starting a new thread on my own.
Btw I'm trying to make it work for development mode.
I went through those certificate steps:
1) Generated my certificate and downloaded/installed it in my Keychain
2) Registered my iPhone device
3) Created an AppID in the ##########.* form
4) Created a Provision profile, using my ##########.* id
Then I downloaded the Provision profile, dragged it on my XCode icon, which installed it in its proper folder (home/library/mobile device/provisioning profiles).
In my Organizer window in XCode, I checked the Provision profile on my iPhone device.
Then in my project settings I changed those entries:
[Code Signing Entitlements]: (blank)
[Code Signing Identity]: *
[Code Signing Provisionning Profile]: Default provisionning profile for ...
[Any iPhone OS Device]: Default provisionning profile for ...
[Code Signing Resource Rules Path]: iphoneos2.0/ResourceRules.plist
[Other Code Signing Flags]: (blank)
But when I build, it seems to go through all the process (signing, copying), but I get the dreadful E8000001 error message at the end.
Am I missing a setting? A step?
Thanks for all help!

Test app ad hoc distribution on Itunes windows xp

Hi,
Do you know if it's possible to test an App in ad hoc distribution on Itunes windows xp?
I can't find the process.
How to load mobile.provisonning and IPA in Itunes windows.
Thanks.

Help! I've tried all the steps in this thread and am still unable to distribute to a phone using iTunes on Windows.
In summary, I've created and built an app on my Mac Mini and deployed it to my phone using an ad-hoc provision generated by the developer portal. Taking the same app-bundle and mobile provisioning file to a windows computer and attempting to deploy it to another phone, produces this error:
"Could not be installed because it could not be verified"
I'm trying to figure out why this is failing, surely one of the many steps I've taken is not quite right.
Here are the details:
I created device ids for two phones we’d like to test.
I am using iTunes on a mac.
Then, using the developer portal, I created an ad-hoc provisioning profile for an appID I created earlier.
Then, using XCode, I configured the signing of my app to use the provisioning profile just created.
Then, using iTunes on my mac, I dragged the app bundle and provisioning profile to the applications panel.
Then I clicked sync – it succeeded and the app works on my phone.
Looking in the settings on my phone, I see a profile for the ad-hoc provision.
I emailed the app and the provisioning profile to my brother to install on the other phone.
Using iTunes on windows, he dagged the app (directory) and provisioning profile to the applications panel.
He clicked sync – it failed – "Could not be installed because it could not be verified"
Looking in the settings on my brother’s phone, we see no profile for the ad-hoc provision.

Ad Hoc distribution is temporarily unavailable

I can't modify or make a new ad hoc provisioning profile. Anyone have any idea what's going on or when this will be re-enabled? I was hoping to get some new beta testers on tonight.

Hey guys I've figured this out after a great deal of hair-pulling and trial-and-error.
When I went back and double-checked, the answer is actually here in this excellent description:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/packaging-air-apps-ios.html
But it's a little buried and not intuitive.
What you have to do for AIR is use the DEVELOPER certificate with the AD HOC mobileprovisoining profile. You DON'T use the ad hoc distribution profile -- it won't work!

Ad Hoc Distribution to a windows machine?

Has anyone been able to use Ad Hoc Distribution from a windows machine to put an app on an iPhone or iPod touch?
I zipped up the .app and .mobileprovision files on the mac but when i bring them over to a windows machine, the .app shows up like it really is as a folder.
And I could not get iTunes to recognize the .app folder or the .mobileprovision file at all.
All the downloaded apps from iTunes come as .ipa files. Does anyone know if there are extra steps needed to do Ad Hoc Distribution on a windows machine?
Thanks.

Is it proper Ad-hoc distribution process?!

I created .key file using openSSL.
I created CSR file using openSSL (windows platform of course) (as described on adobe website).
I purcahsed developer certificate from apple (99$ yearly).
I installed WWDR intermediate certificate (as shown on apple's website).
Uploaded CSR file and finally received developer certificate.
Converted it into .p12 file (as described on adobe website).
Created new provision profile.
Finally, used .p12 file and .provision profile to build an ipa file for testing.... which worked on my ipad.
I wanted to install the same thing on another ipad, so I took UDID of that ipad.. on apple's website, i added that device.
created distribution certificate (using the exisiting .csr file, did not create it again).
created ad-hoc provision profile using for both ipads.
downloaded and used this new adhoc provision profile and .p12 (existing) to build .ipa file...
it is over 1 hour and still it shows it is building..(i use AIR SDK 3.0, command line, temporary files are showing in the publishing folder)...
usually it takes around 20 minutes to create ipa-test file..
is it normal???? did i do anything wrong?! pls help.

Ad Hoc distribution under Enterprise license

Hi,
I have a customer who's workforce has a 1,000 iPads and is interested in distributing their publications either Ad-Hoc or through Internal Distribution, without going through the Apple Store. Are there any issues, limitations using the Enterprise License with Adobe DPS?
I understand Apple has a 100 unit limit on Ad-Hoc using the Developer License.
Tony

Apple has a 100 device limit per provisioning profile for ad hoc distribution. It's a cumbersome method at best and won't scale easily to 1000 ipads.
The correct solution for this type of desired behaviour is an Apple Enterprise license and DPS. This will let you build an app that can be distributed outside the Apple app store, to your employees only. Depending on theneed to control the level of access to content, folios can either published as public free ( controlling access by controlling the app distribution) or published as public/retail using the direct entitlement APIs to provide login level access to the folio within the app.

Incorrect distribution -Error while distributing GOA to R3 Backend system

Hi,
We have installed SRM server 5.5 and implementing contract Management
scenario with backend system R/3 4.6B.
In this scenario we are creating a Global Outline Agreement in SRM
system and distributing it to the back-end ERP system.
In SRM5.0 GOA (Trans.type GCTR) that are distributed at Header level
are failing to distribute to R/3 system v4.6b
We are getting this error message in SRM transaction SLG1: -
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID
DCA7101B320134F1949F000347DE470F and object_id= 5600000054 " RECEPIENT
NOT FOUND"
The purchasing org , the plant has been mapped .Also vendor & material is maintained for the company & Plant .
The condition types are mapped in SRM
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
In reference to your query about GOA, the distribution error might be beacause of the issues in BADI implementation.
By using the BADI you can define which document to be created in the backend.
BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE BADI can be used in SRM and BBP_CTR BADI can be used in back end R/3 for this purpose.
Check for the transaction types (GCTR) and the number ranges for the transaction types.
The GOA will either create a contract or a Scheduling agreement in R/3 back end after distribution.
Also refer the below SDN thread in this regard :
Re: Scheduling Agreement from GOA
Any further clarifications are welcome.
Award points for suitable answers.

Ad Hoc distribution not working

I am trying Ad Hoc distribution for the first time. I generated the Ad Hoc mobile provision profile with the user's UDID. I built the app as Apple describes. I sent the provision file and the zipp'ed app to someone running Windows XP.
They dragged the provision file into iTunes and that seemed to install (when they did it a second time it said it was already installed). When they dragged the .app directory into iTunes, the cursor changed to a Plus sign as they dropped it there. However it was not then visible in the Applications part of the library. When dragging it into iTunes a second time, it **did not** indicate it was already installed.
Any idea what the problem could be? If somehow their UDID didn't match the one in the provision file (or the one in the app), would it give this behavior?

I had this problem when doing ad-hoc on Windows before. I created a compressed copy of the application using the compress feature in Finder. Unfortunately, when that ZIP file is extracted on Windows, you get both a .app folder and a .app file in the extracted directory. Not sure what's in the extra file (Finder resources, maybe?) but it is a little confusing.
I solved the problem by writing a script that uses the command-line zip command to create an .ipa file, which is properly-interpreted by Windows and Mac OS iTunes. I don't think the structure of the .ipa file is documented anywhere, but it's just a ZIP archive with a "Payload" folder containing your .app bundle. If you want to see what one looks like, just run "unzip" on an IPA from your iTunes library.
Oh, and I suggest that you personally try out your install instructions on a Windows machine before sending a build out to a tester, if you can. I use Parallels to do my Windows-based testing, but there are lots of other options.

STMS_QA distribution error

Hello,
We are facing an error with our Transsport system. The TR's are not showing up in the buffer list of our production system.
There were 6 TR to be imported in the production system. But before it gets into production, it has to have the approval in the quality systems. After having given the approval, only 3 TR's were showing up in the import buffer of the production.
The other three are facing a distribution error.
"User KANDIKON has no authorization for the tp command"
User KANDIKON has no authorization for the tp command SETACTIVE
Message no. TP607
Diagnosis
To execute the tp command SETACTIVE you need the administration authorization S_CTS_ADMIN in the Change and Transport System. It can be found in the authorization profile S_A.SYSTEM.
System Response
The function terminates.
Procedure
Contact your system administrator.
For more information on authorizations and authorization profile, see the online documentation on the CTS. "
The concern is how come for other TR there were no issues when the approver was the same.
Please suggest as to how to proceed further.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit Mishra

You should check whether that user has authorization for the object.
S_CTS_Admin is needed if you want to do STMS activity.

ALE distribution error - 0 communication IDOC

Hello,
We are getting 0 communication IDOC generated for message type DOCMAS error for ALE document distribution error. Please advice where to look for the error.
Anirudh

hi,
ani,
u check this,
If you want work items to be created when errors occur for the purpose of error handling, you need to assign the standard task TS40007915 PCROLL to a position or a workflow organizational unit.
Or
You can also distribute dependent objects manually for classes. You can use report program RCCLDIHI to distribute a complete class hierarchy including all classes characteristics, and characteristic values.
Only the message code (004 - change) is allowed for sending a document (message type DOCMAS). This function also creates the document in the target system.
You can control the sending of documents with the indicator Distribution lock. An object with this indicator in its status will not be distributed into other ALE systems.
You can set the indicator in Customizing Document Management System  Define document type  Define status. The distribution lock is read when a distribution automatically starts after a change pointer is set or for an Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM).
You can ignore this setting by starting the distribution manually. When you set the indicator Ignore distribution lock in the initial screen, then all documents will be distributed overriding the previously set status.
You control the distribution of object links with the indicator You cannot maintain the object links via ALE and Object link unchanged in target system.
Information about object links are distributed through IDoc type DOLMAS01.
The data is transferred to the workstation application and to storage data in IDoc type DOCMAS04 if an original file exists to a document. The Remote Function Call interface protocol transfers the contents of the original file, for example text or design drawing.
You can determine whether you want originals of a certain document type to be distributed by ALE into another system under the setting Document Management System  Define document type  Define transport of originals for ALE. You can control distribution with various criteria.
You want to distribute all original files of the application WRD (Microsoft Word) for the document type R-1 (report) that are stored in vault VAULT1 (Vault for Office Applications). You do not want to distribute documents of the same document type for the application WWI (Winword 6.0).
You can process the status for the desired objects.
1. Select in Customizing Cross Applications Components  Distribution (ALE)  Standard ALE Business Processes  Logistics  Master Data Distribution  Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM)  Object status (for example, Define BOM status).
2. Process the indicator Distribution lock

Question about building an app for a single ad hoc distribution

Say I want to build and app and send the app, along with a provisioning profile, to somebody to install via iTunes for beta testing.
The "Ad Hoc" panel says the following:
Ad Hoc distribution allows you to share your application with up to 100 iPhone or iPod touch users, and to distribute your application through email or by posting it to a web site or server. To prepare your application, the following steps will need to be completed.
Create and Download an iPhone Distribution Certificate
Create and Download an Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile
Build your application with Xcode
Share your application file and the Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile with the owner of each device
Recipients of the application will need to drag the application file and Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile into iTunes, then sync their iPhone to iTunes to install
My question is, do I have to build the application in the extremely complicated way described in the "distribution" tab which says "only the team agent" can do? Or is that for a mass distribution?
Can I build my app like I do for the simulator and just send that along with the provisioning profile to the other person by email?
What is the absolute easiest way of doing this sort of ad hoc distribution?
Thanks!
doug

Another development device? I don't even have one yet.
The person I'm developing with has one though.
It turns out all that needed to be done was:
(1) Build using the iPhone OS setting instead of the Simulator setting.
(2) Set the provisioning profile.
Then using the app and profile, just drop them on top of the apps section in iTune and synch.
That's all there was too it. I didn't need to use all the 11 steps in the distribution section for just the ad hoc distribution, I'm happy to say!
