iPhone code signing problems
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008As many developers have figured out by now, iPhone code signing is unnecessarily difficult. To make matters worse, it doesn’t sound like Apple is very responsive to their developers. (In my case they have yet to get back to me after two days.) A couple of key points:

com.tomwhipple.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}
