ups, the path to the source code was wrong.

vik says: This tutorial is toooo long.
Is there a short version ? I spent two hours on this and as I expected nothing works.
For begininers its not going to work -
Great info! Thanks! However, the script is building the .ipa file before it does the codesign step. Have things changed in Xcode? How do I get the script to run after the codesign step?

zutroi says: I tried twice to follow your tutorial step by step using cocos2d 0.99.5-rc1, Xcode 3.2.5 and iOS 4.2.1, but I keep having problems when building and running on device.
The weird thing is I have no problem at all running the template on simulator!
To be more clear:
I’m trying to build and run following the final step of “Getting our Project Template to build minimal cocos2d code” section.
Running on simulator works perfectly, running on device (iphone4) crashes after splash screen with this message on console:
“Program received signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”.
warning: Unable to read symbols for /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.2.1 (8C148)/Symbols/Developer/usr/lib/libXcodeDebuggerSupport.dylib (file not found).
Previous frame inner to this frame (gdb could not unwind past this frame)”
By stepping with debugger I found the app crashes on line 98 of AppDelegate.m:
“// make the View Controller a child of the main window
[window addSubview: viewController.view];”I see there are little differences from your (great) tutorial and Xcode/cocos2d new templates, mainly for the use of RootViewController, may this crash be related? (I already added RootViewController.* to my template)
Has anyone found a fix to this problem?
Please please please help me, this thing is driving me crazy =/
Thanks-
It might be related. Have you tried the version on github? https://github.com/GamingHorror/cocos2d-project
That version is tested with 0.99.5But I recently started getting those “could not unwind” errors … I was able to fix them by changing the compiler in all referenced projects back to GCC.

Bingo!
Thanks a lot, you point me to a fix.
I had already tried with your latest github version, without luck.
I followed your suggestion, changing the compiler to GCC 4.2 on all projects (both cocos2d-project and cocos2d-ios) and it worked!
I suppose the problem was in compiler setting for cocos2d-ios, it was set to LLVM compiler 1.6.
If I set compiler to different version for the two projects, I always get that crash, when using same gcc version, everything is ok.
I tried also with LLVM GCC4.2 on both projects and it works too.Probably I never met this problem since using cocos2d built-in templates everything get compiled using gcc without further setting.
Thanks a lot for your tutorials… and for fast replying too

Very nice tutorial, congratulations! It's very well written and you pay attention to details.
The only thing that I misunderstood is the title of the tutorial. When you said "Template" I thought we were going to create an actual XCode Template. But I don't see it now. You have to copy it every time and rename it, right? Wouldn't it be possible to transform it in a real template?
Thanks anyway!

Thank you! Yes, that's correct i did not create a Template that you can select in the "New Project" Xcode dialog. I understand that it is a bit misleading but the New Project dialog actually only gives you a bit of convenience by allowing you to name the project before you create it. The disadvantag is (for me at least) that with a real Template you can't have the project in source control, which is why i created this Xcode project to begin with. To have a base project that i can branch off of using my source control software and later integrate changes to other projects or back to the base project.
