I am trying to submit an app to iTunes using the new xcode4.
I followed the apple instructions but after doing product> archive, I still do not see anything in my organizer.
Can anyone help?
I got the same problem. Took me whole night to solve. The doc gave the wrong instruction - therefore all your archives are created but their size is zero. You can verify this by going to their directory (...derived data...)
Anyway, in the "Skip Install", set the value for "Release" as "NO" (the help doc told you the opposite). Once you set it to "NO", archive again. You'll immediately see your app showing up in the archive organizer.
For the "Release" configuration do the following:
Set "Skip Install" to YES on your project
Set "Skip Install" to NO on your application target
Set "Skip Install" to YES on all static library targets that are included
Choose Product -> Archive from the menu.
This worked for me, and is based on advice from the Apple Dev Forums.
Changed to value to NO on Target Skip Install and this worked for me. Checked values on Project and it was set to Default to YES. I agree! Some moronic space case from apple screw this one up! Thanks Apps4U
For me setting the above plus setting ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS to "Yes" made archiving possible.
I needed to restart my Xcode in order for the settings to take effect.
Used tutorial from this link: http://www.idev101.com/code/Distribution/build.html.
Instructions for Skip Install suggested set to YES. Archive did not show in Xcode | Window | Organizer.
Reset Skip Install to its default NO. Archive is now showing in Organizer.
I had to switch the scheme from using the ipad 6.0 simulator to iOS Device. I then had the option to archive.
Restart Xcode after you archive. The archive will now appear in Organiser.
Turns out I need to set the correct distribution profile at "Code Signing Identity" under build setting.
Set it to the correct Distribution Profile ( First, you need to get it at developer.apple.com/ios )
Besides the correct 'Code Signing Identity' and 'Skill install' configuration, you must also check if your Install directories in Project and Targets are $(LOCAL_APPS_DIR).
I had to do "Product | Archive" and then it showed up for me.
No luck with 'Skip Install'.
In my case I created a new schmeme and assigned my target - and it appears on organizer.
My fault was that I had multiple schemes and multiple targets, some targets (even in divergent project files but all together in the same workspace) had the same name. I renamed the target files and recreated the needed schemes and archive now shows up in organizer.

I’m getting strange error while building project in Xcode 9.4
Build system information - unexpected service error: The Xcode build system has crashed. Please close and reopen your workspace.
I tried Xcode quit and reopen but that didn’t worked. Any solution?
Please clear derived data folder (located at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData) and restart the Xcode project.
This error usually happens between Xcode major versions. Apple usually claim their new build system is ** times faster than their previous version. If you see this error(I see this on changing Xcode9 to Xcode10 beta), you can always change it to the legacy build system. Here is how you can do this:
Open 'workspace settings'( it is now changed to 'Project Settings' if you are using Xcode10 or later) in the File Menu
Change build system to 'legacy'
Update for Xcode 13.4.1:
I had this infamous bug today as well. I tried a lot including clean project, delete derived, restart max etc.
What did the fix finally is similar to the answer of kakaiikaka: I set the workspace settings to "Legacy Build System (Deprecated)" for both, the shared and per user workspace. I tried to build with this, but got an error because I had packages wich are not supported.
Restarted Xcode, then changed back the build system. Restarted Xcode again.
Now the crash doesn't happen any more.
Looks like something internal was spoilt and cycling the build system fixed it.
I moved a lot of files all at once between folders, including nested folders. This error started happening. Nothing I did in regards to cleaning, purging derived data, or undoing the move operation would help.
What I did to help was: restore the previous version of the project file from source control and then re-add all the applicable new files to it. It was project file related. Deleting user data inside the project container did not help in my case. So as long as you use source control and can rollback the .xcodeproj, this may be an option.
it happened to me when i changed build configuration names. After deleting Pods folder and Podfile.lock, and then runnnig "pod install" fixed the issue.
For Xcode 10.2 delete podfile, podfile.lock, xcworkspace, open terminal, cd directory of project, pod init, add pods you want to pod file, pod install, open xcworkspac. Everything will be indexing now and then you can build.
I opened a project from a colleague in mplab X, it was in an archive(.zip) I added to the original path where are all my projects and I added the correct path to Harmony, but this is the error when I build. I configured it for the correct target board and compiller and on an clean&rebuild I get the same error. Any ideas how to fix that?
SOLUTION:
The project was in 1 extra folder with the same name, created when I extracted its content... I removed it, restarted the IDE, set it as main project, set the settings again for compiler and target board, run the harmony configurator, so it loaded some files and guess what... Worked like a charm... Can't believe the issue was 1 extra folder which was holding the project... Thank you for your help.
P.S: No, he was using the same OS.
I'm facing a problem right now and I don't really know how to get more informations about it.
I've converted a desktop application through Microsoft's Desktop App Converter, made some manual modifications about the visual assets, and rebundled it through "makeappx.exe". Then I signed it.
Everything went fine. Except that when I double click the appx to check it, I have the following window:
Appx Error
Which roughly translates as "Couldn't open the appx or appxbundle file" and "Reason: Failure caused by an unknown reason".
This does not helps me a lot :/
However, if I try to install the package through a simple "Add-appxpackage MyPackage.appx", it works perfectly fine.
Could anyone help me find some leads on what's happening here? I've already checked the event viewer as explained here but I couldn't find anything unusual.
Thanks,
Skefrep
It seems the Microsoft team has taken notice of this problem and investigated this appropriately.
-Here is their solution-
The problem can be because when you convert an app with DesktopBridge the resources are signed with the manifest info and store that info in the .pri files you found in PackageFiles folder. Later, when you change something like the Publisher or the Name this signature doesn't match. To fix this you only need to recreate the .pri files.
rm *.pri. Remove the old .pri files.
cd C:\foo\PackageFiles\. Change current directory to the PackageFiles folder. This step is important for the next step.
makepri createconfig /cf priconfig.xml /dq en-US. Create a configuration file for the resources.
makepri new /pr "C:\foo\PackageFiles" /cf "C:\foo\PackageFiles\priconfig.xml". Generate the new *.pri files.
Then you can make the package as usual: MakeAppx, etc.
You can find more information about this problem in "Failed due to unknown reasons" error when you try to sideload a Desktop Bridge app - App Consult Team.
All of the below on Windows 7 Machines and regarding Notepad++ installation / uninstallation:
Uninstaller
When I try to uninstall using the command
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S
there are some files left in the Notepad++ file afterward. Notepad++'s uninstaller, when run manually, prompts halfway through the uninstall asking "Do you want to keep your custom settings" and I'm thinking that the command may be choosing to answer this "Yes" by default. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to have it choose "No" here instead. If not, I can probably just delete the folder.
Installer
I'm running the installation using the 32 bit default .exe file from Notepad++ in a deployment package compiled in Lansweeper. What I'm noticing is that presently, the package executed the CMD uninstall command, but stops short of installing the new version. For reference, I've been using an installed 7.3.2 and the installer for 7.3.3 to test, so that it should uninstall the 7.3.2 and install 7.3.3 by the end of the package.
I'm wondering if the fact that there are a number of options in the Notepad++ installer could be the culprit here. If it is better to install via command line or to include some sort of configuration file I'm fine with either option, just not especially well-versed in doing them.
Notepad++ Installer requests the following during installation:
Select a language - should choose English
Choose Components - want to be able to customize selection of localization / auto complete / themes / context menu / plugins / auto update according to our requirements
Choose Components - Don't use Appdata, Allow Plugins to be loaded from Appdata, and Create Shortcut on Desktop should all remain unchecked
Run Notepad ++ - should be unchecked (checked by default)
All the other components that I can see are straightforward Next / I Agree buttons.
I'm hoping someone may be able to make helpful suggestions here as I've not had any experience with configuring silent installs with specific parameters. Notepad++ doesn't seem to have its own MSI and I won't use a third party one so some sort of batch or configuration file or flagging options in cmd if possible are the preferable options.
Please let me know if there's any additional information I can provide that may be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
If you just need to update to the latest version. It is quite simple. Run the newest installer again and it will automatically update older versions.
See
Silent Install Notepad++
I'm using the command:
start /wait npp.7.2.Installer.x64.exe /S
Didn't show any interface during silent installation.
Notepad kicks a secondary process that doesn't finish until success is evaluated.
try:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S

i am searching for hours now, a way that could allow me to install (optionally) a custom firefox extension along with my software installation package.. i can't find anything useful tho. Tried the registry method, the -install-global-extension method, the "Copy to extensions path" method... but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how to let the user chose if he wants to install my extension after my package install is finished?
You have this tagged "batch" so I'm assuming you are looking for a way to install extensions from the command line using batch format.
What is the output if you were to use something like this?
for %%e in ("path to extensions\*.xpi") do "firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%%e"
I have an Nsis installer that in one of its steps copies a Firefox extension to the extensions directory. That works for every Firefox version from 3.0 to 4.0.
First it finds out which is the directory for the default profile, following this pattern: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles*.default. Once profile name is determined (for example "4v3vxq80"), it copies the extension to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\$1\extensions (where $1 is the profile name).
I think the key is that all these steps are performed when Firefox is not running (I check for a running firefox.exe at the beginning).
Let me know if you want the nsis code that does the trick.
