Packaging for iOS mysteriously fails

Question

I ran this command to create an .ipa file with forge, and it worked:

forge package ios --ios.profile.provisioning_profile name.mobileprovision

Where "name" is the name of my provisioning profile.

The program crashed immediately on my iPhone. I tried repackaging using the exact same bash command, but now I get this error:

[  ERROR] Failed when running /usr/bin/codesign: codesign_allocate: object: /Users/me/Coding/gits/Project/development/ios/device-ios.app/Forge malformed object (unknown load command 43)
/Users/me/Coding/gits/Project/development/ios/device-ios.app: object file format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

For the future - I tried following the advice of trigger.io - Can't create ipa-file anymore to downgrade to a lower version of forge. That didn't work.

But completely reinstalling XCode did! So if you run into this problem, as a last resort you could always try that!
