Q:

iOs application crash on install

I am developing an iPhone application and trying to publish the application via a website. This should work for devices that are registered with the provision profile and it does work when deploying from XCode. Using the site (with a link to a .plist file) the device downloads the application, starts installing but once it is finished the application disappears. I checked the console and the following is shown during installation
Jan 16 10:47:00 unknown SpringBoard[15] <Warning>: could not save thumbnail for downloading icon: image=(null) path='/var/mobile/Library/SpringBoard/DownloadingIconImageCache/MyApp-0B277314-1342-4C88-B4D0-E763EAC12E3B'

The problem only occurs on devices with iOs 5. What could be the problem and what should I check?
Thanks

A:

I had the same issue because I changed the app identifier to build with new certificates. As the log message said "Could not save thumbnail", the problem was with graphics/icons. From build settings, I modified "Compress PNG file" for release version as "NO", which made XCode to include graphics again, and it resolved the issue.
Other suggestions like changing the plist file name, or cleaning build folder didn't work for me. My 2 cents.

A:

Turned out i had an invalid plist file. Funny thing is that the application did install on iOS 4. Hope this is of use to someone.
