Testflight install bricks my iphone

Question

Whenever I try to install my app over testflight my iPhone bricks and needs to be restored. Am I doing something drastically wrong?

To add to this, I created a blank storyboard app with one screen and a button that does nothing, I uploaded that to testflight and it installed fine.

I then went to deploy my real app the traditional way to my device and it crashed the device again... this is the 1st time it's done that. I am going to restore the device again and try and upload the app through testflight. There is definitely something odd between testflight and apps that are deployed locally. Am I able to deploy to the same device using testflight and traditional test deployment using xCode? Is there a known issue with this?

Answer 1

This was caused by a missing appid in the xamarin settings.

I don't understand:

a: why testflight even allows you to upload an app that can cause such a huge FAIL b: why the iphone has to brick just because there is a stupid appid missing!!!
