CFBundleExectuable Error

Can’t install application

The application at /Users/myname/Documents/SDK/iPhoneApplications/x/build/Debug-iphoneos/x.app does not specify a CFBundleExecutable

I don't know what this means or how to fix it. Can anyone help? It only occurs when trying to build 开发者_如何学Cto a device - it is an iPhone 3G running 4.1 and I am using the latest SDK which allows me to build on iOS 4.1

I also faced the same problem and the solution that worked in my case was to add CFBundleExecutable in info.plist.

Here are the steps to do it

1. Click on the + icon in your info.plist and add CFBundleExecutable as String type.

2.then in its value just add

$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)

and then rebuild your app.

This worked for me and hope it works for you as well. All the best.

This value is specified in your Info.plist file. I would check your target for the debug configuration and make sure you have the correct plist file specified.

Double-click on your target and search for the Packaging section or for Info.plist.

If the plist is correct, check the content of your Info.plist to make sure you have either a value for either key CFBundleExecutable or key Executable file (they are the same value, but can be displayed with raw or friendly labels).

I faced this issue yesterday and I spent more than 6 hours to find the solution, just follow the instruction below.

1- Go to your "TARGETS".

2- Then go to "Build Settings".

3- After that go to "Basic" then "Combined".

4- Then under the Packaging, you will find the "Info.plist File", check here if your file correct or not, if it's not equal to "Your project Name/Info.plist" you must change it to "Your Project Name/Info.plist".

in my case, i have changed "Mach-O Type" to "Static Library", this may lead to the same question. just change it to Executable , worked for me

After you setup CFBundleExecutable to $(EXECUTABLE_NAME), you have to set EXECUTABLE_NAME's value in xcode. Select your target in TARGETS then go in the Build Settings tab and then search for Product Name.

Check that all your schemes product names are specified corretly to avoid any error (shouldn't contain any of the followin caracter \ [ ] { } ( ) + *).
