Question

I\'m trying to create an ad-hoc build of an iPhone app for beta testing.

On their end, they\'re seeing an error like the following:

It sounds like you're looking at the info.plist in the project not the built product.

The '${EXECUTABLE_NAME}' in the project info.plist is just a place holder for a variable in the build script. You need to look at the info.plist in your built product to see what is listed there. It sounds like for some reason, the build script is not populating the field as it should.

You might actually check that the contents of the application package actually has an executable. Sounds weird I know but a few years ago I mucked about with my build setting son a project and ended up with a product without an executable. Everything else, the package, resources, string files etc was there just no actual program.
