My Iphone Game crashes on Launch

I have created my application on Xcode and then I made my DEBIAN directory and my control file inside of that directory it then successfully made my .deb file because I used the following command in the console dpkg -b "(my apps name)". now once I have the .deb file I uploaded it to my Repo. The app then successfully installs from the Repo however once installed no matter how many times I respring or Re-boot my device the app crashes on launch.

Does anyone have any ideas why it isn't working?

Answer 1

Before you package up your application into a deb you need to codesign the binary with ldid

Make sure you sign the binary

For example

ldid -S myappfolder/myapp

Also make sure the correct permissions are set.

 chmod 0755 myappfolder/myapp
 chown 0:0 myappfolder/myapp
