I havent touched any packages.. so why would extracting the packages fail?

Try updating your device to the latest version of the IOS software. I think its 4.2, we had this issue with a coworkers device and the update solved the problem.

Thanks for the reply Mandinga, but the device is updated to 4.2.1 so I guess thats not the problem.

Do you have to do anything special with iTunes or whatnot for this to work?

[Dying]

I got it, not sure why but it works fine if I package from the frontend but not when I try to install from the editor, O well atleast I can get it on the device.

Hi Dying,
It seems like something may have gone very wrong when packaging from the editor:

... Finished copying to '/PublicStaging/MobileGame.ipa' in 1007.94 s

That step should take more on the order of 5-30 s, so it seems like there was communications trouble when copying to the device, and so the copied IPA might have been corrupted in some way.

If you try play on editor again, does it still fail in the same way and take that long to copy?

Cheers,
