    [~cbarber], I'm also getting this from time to time. Maybe something in node-ios-device? I'm not getting any useful logs apart from the above error. (Slightly different error code though: 0xe8008001) Wiping the build folder and then running again solves the issue for me.

    I get this from current stable versions (e.g. 7.4.1) as well and applying the workaround Jan's describes as well. Would be great to fix! To reproduce: 1. Deploy an iOS app to device using 7.4.1 and Xcode 10 2. Change some lines of code in the app 3. Try to run the app again Expected: A fast, great Titanium app running on the iOS device Actual: The above error code

    Nothing has changed in node-ios-device and since things work, granted intermittently, I doubt the problem is with node-ios-device. Just out of curiosity, what Node.js version are you using? node-ios-device has not been tested with Node.js 11.x (coming soon).
  4. Hans Knöchel 2018-11-16

    v8.12.0 / v10.13.0 :(. I'd bet on an Xcode 10 thing that changed.
  5. Jan Vennemann 2018-11-16

    Running Node v10.13.0 too. I have two Titanium projects i use for all kinds of testing. One is a classic project, the other is Alloys based. The classic one has this issue every now and then, whereas i have not seen it in the Alloy project yet. Super strange.

    Using Node 8.9.1 and I get this error all the time on the Master branch.
  7. Samuel Haig 2018-11-21

    I also get a failure, even after running appc ti clean and removing the build folder. Using node v8.12.0. Using SDK 8.0.0.v20181031043847

    Getting this issue all the time on master branch, [this issue](https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy/issues/148) seems to have the same error code and points to a sort of code signing issue? I've attached the full build log from my run.

    Rolling through the builds on the next branch 8.0.0.v20180927131133 - Thu Sep 27, 2018 13:11:33 (/) 8.0.0.v20181001082706 - Mon Oct 01, 2018 08:27:06 (/) 8.0.0.v20181002083413 - Tue Oct 02, 2018 08:34:13 (x) So this looks to have been caused somewhere around the start of October, looking through the history I see https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/10218 as the PR with the most potential to cause this issue
  10. Ewan Harris 2018-12-03

    Tried using [ios-deploy](https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy) in the hope that it gave me a better error. I guess it maybe did, 2018-12-03 15:32:44.618 ios-deploy\[80368:1665232\] \[ !! \] Error 0xe800801c: No code signature found.

    TitaniumKit.framework is injected at build time into the generated Xcode project and needs to be signed. This regression was introduced in [PR 10218](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/10218). PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/10505
  12. Hans Knöchel 2018-12-04

    This is definitely not only 8.0.0+ but also on earlier versions. Though it may be the same reason: We use a lot of dynamic frameworks, which also need to be signed differently. That would also explain why some apps run into it and some not.
  13. Chris Barber 2018-12-04

    [~hknoechel] I don't follow. The issue is with the addition of TitaniumKit.framework, which was introduced into 8.0.0 via PR 10218. If this issue occurred in the past with dynamic frameworks, then I don't recall hearing about it. Most commonly this error was caused by bad provisioning profile as the error suggests. On a side note, PR 10218 also broke increment builds. I'll be fixing it in another commit to PR 10505.
  14. Hans Knöchel 2018-12-04

    Please see the previous comments for reference. We are currently seeing this on all kind of Titanium projects using 7.4.1 / 7.5.0 GA builds and valid (non-automatically-signed) provisioning profiles. Not sure if [~jvennemann] also ran into this using < 8.0.0 builds, but I'll for sure try a 8.0.0 build with this flag set as well.
  15. Ewan Harris 2018-12-04

    The 2 error codes mentioned so far appear to represent different things, I think it's best to do the following here - This ticket is for an 8.0.0 only issue where the TitaniumKit framework is not getting signed causing an app to fail to install to device due to a codesigning issue, throwing error code 0xe800801c. This issue is consistently reproducible - A separate ticket is filed for the issue [~hknoechel] is mentioning. [~hknoechel] if you could send me reproducible steps/project on slack I can handle filing and collecting the necessary error logs that for you. It's possibly the same issue [~jvennemann] is seeing with error code 0xe8008001 which looks to represent ["An unknown error"](https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy/issues/292#issuecomment-328091687). This issue is intermittent.

    Closing ticket, fix verified in SDK Version 8.0.0.v20181219044040 Test and other information can be found at: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/10505

    [~hknoechel], [~eharris], for error code 0xe8008001 see TIMOB-27097
