MonoTouch upload to iOS device problem

Question

Whenever I try uploading to a device from MonoTouch, I get the following console output and error:

/Developer/MonoTouch/usr/bin/mtouch -installdev="/Users/Chris/Documents/Monotouch Projects/UITextFieldTest/UITextFieldTest/bin/iPhone/Debug/UITextFieldTest.app"

The application was terminated by a signal: SIGHUP

I have tried numerous projects, some of which are examples directly from the WROX and MonoTouch websites. All run flawlessly in the simulator, and compile perfectly. However, when I try to upload or run them on my device I always get that same error.

I have a valid App Developer license loaded, as well as a MonoTouch Student license. I am able to create and run applications on my device through Xcode 3.2 without any problems.

Any ideas on what is causing this problem ,and how to solve it?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and it ended up being the solution name containing spaces. Remove these and it should work.

Alternatively, make sure you have the right provisioning profile set up.
