IOS deployment error [PAClient Error] Error: E0776

[hyeong 0]

I was asked a question because the error could not be resolved during IOS app development and distribution...

(I tried googleling my own to solve it, but it was my first time on the IOS side, so I got to seek help due to limitations.

 

The Delphi version is 10.4.

 

If you compile with IOS Device 64-bit = Configuration = Development, it compiles well on the iPhone device,

Development continued.

[Provisioning has been set up for all (Application Store, Development, Ad hoc ), and I checked the option to connect the certificate. ]

To register on the App Store

When distributing Ad hoc or Application Store, the following error occurs.

================================================== ============

[PAClient Error] Error: E0776 ** EXPORT FAILED **

Xcode version is 11.7, iOS software version is 13.7.

Most of my problems with deploying iOS apps disappeared when I:

- deleted the IOSDevice directory

- deleted the Launchscreen.TemplateiOS,

- deleted Entitlement.TemplateiOS.xml

- made sure every icon in project/Options has its own file

 

and rebuild

 

Not sure if this helps you though... I'm no iOS guru...

Thanks for the answer.
-Remove iOS Device 64 folder
-Remove LaunchScreen.TemplateS folder
-Remove Entitlement.TemplateiOS.xml file
Add to
-info.plist.TemplateiOS.xml file removed
All icons and images have been changed to default.

Project -> Build => Ok
Project > Deployment -> Deploy => I got the same error though...
Is there any way I can try more..??

What I did in the past for such these problems :

 

remove target platform in the project (remove IOS)

clean project files just to remove all ios files

then exit Delphi, and restart,

reinstall target plateform,

compile and deploy.

Hope this helps.

For issues like that I have a Clean_EXE.cmd batch file, removing all created files and folders externally.

An internal clean is not good enough in most cases.

 

I usually run clean and build all before any important change or release.

 

In case of issues I step through the different shades of clean step-by-step, as not always a brutal full clean is needed.

But I didn't need to re-install the target platform yet, anyhow maybe the days will come
Good to know there is another shade of clean in the portfolio.

Hyeong,

what happens if you create a new, blank app?

(just use the same name and provisioning as the original app)
