Error Installing App on ipod/iphone

Question

I am a registered iPhone developer and I am getting the following error:

Your mobile device has encountered an unexpected error (0xE8000001) Try disconnecting and powering off the device; then power the device on and reconnect it.

My System Specifications:

• PowerPC G5
• Mac OSx - 10.5.6
• iPhone os - 2.2.1

I am getting this error whenever I click 'Build&Go' from XCode, which I am trying to install on my iPodTouch. I gave a proper AppId as in info.plist(Bundle identifier), which is the same as configured in the iPhone program portal.

In XCode -> organizer -> Console the following error is getting displayed:

<Error>: user mobile has uid 501
<Error>: mode is 0x41e8.

Answer 1

I've seen a similar issue before. Have you tried disconnecting your iPhone, powering it off, powering it back on, and reconnecting?

It has worked for me, but you literally need to power it down, not just put it into standby. Hold the top "standby" button down until the "Slide to Power Off" slider appears. Slide it. Now the phone is really off.

One curious note: are you really compiling on a G5? I thought for some reason that an intel mac was required to develop iPhone apps. Perhaps that is just to get the simulator working.

Answer 2

If restarting your iPhone many times doesn't help, consider reinstallng the whole iPhone SDK. It worked for me once.
