[FIXED] Error when trying to launchIOSDevice using NetBeans Gluon Plugin / Apple Free Provisioning

Issue

I've successfully run a simple Gluon application using NetBeans 8.1, Gluon plugin, javafxports 1.0.7, Mac OS X 10.11.1, Xcode 7 using Gluon Mobile - Single View Project. When I try to run on my connected iPhone 6 using launch | launchIOSDevice, however, I'm having errors with the provisioning. Error message is Execution failed for task ':createIpa'.

No signing identity found matching '/(?i)iPhone Developer|iOS Development/'

I setup an identically named project on Xcode and ran it on my connected device. I verified that I have Provisioning Profiles and Signing Identities defined for my project (Xcode | Preferences | Accounts). I verified that the Xcode project Bundle identifier is the same as the ios CFBundleIdentifier as defined in the Default-info.pllist file. I tried defining ios properties iosProvisioninProfile and iosSignIdentity in the build.gradle file. This gave different error messages, but the build still failed.

Has anyone successfully run a NetBeans/Gluon-Mobile app using Apple's Free Provisioning on a connected IOS device? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but need help figuring it out!

Thanks in advance!

Solution

I didn't try it with a free provisioning profile. I did it with an apple developer account, but here are the steps I've taken maybe it can help you:

1. Get accepted as an apple developer (not your case)
2. Go to XCode, click code->preferences
3. Go to the accounts tab
4. click the plus button to add an account. Add your account.
5. Click file->new project->single view application
6. Put whatever product name and organization identifier (it doesn't matter)
7. Choose whatever place you want to store the project
8. For any issue that arises like "no non-expired provisioning profiles were found", click fix issue.
9. Connect ios device and run app.
10. start gluon ios gradle task (for instance 'launchIOSDevice') It will take a lot of time the first time. In the end it may give you a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. Put in your gradle JVM settings: '-Xmx2000M'.
11. Start ios gradle task again.

You can also check: http://docs.robovm.com/getting-started/provisioning.html#limitations for free provisioning advise, but you probably already have.
