GluonVM launching on iOS Device [issues] - ios

Question

I am giving a try of GluonVM on iOS with Oracle JDK 10.2.
I have noticed that although I have "com.javasuns.test" in src/ios/Default-Info.plist, when I run the "./gradlew launchIOSDevice" command, the bundle ID is taken from the mainClassName defined in build.gradle.
Here is my example:
Default-Info.plist
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.javasuns.test</string>
build.gradle
dependencies {
compile 'com.gluonhq:charm:5.0.2'
}
mainClassName = 'test.TestFX'
fxmobile {
javafxportsVersion = '8.60.12'
ios { ...... }
}
./gradlew launchIOSDevice

command to dsymutil: xcrun dsymutil -o /Volumes/MyApps/testFX/build/gvm/testFX.app.dSYM /Volumes/MyApps/testFX/build/gvm/testFX.app/testFX

Warning, getProvisioningProfile is failing
java.lang.NullPointerException
I have managed to bypass the issue by creating a new java main class named "test.java" under "com.javasuns" package (ignoring that java type names usually start with an uppercase letter).
build.gradle (Changed)
mainClassName = 'com.javasuns.test'
However, now a new error appears that I do not know how to get through it:

Any ideas of how I can solve both issues?

There are two main keys that you have to set properly: CFBundleIdentifier and CFBundleExecutable.
You can check the sample SingleView-GluonVM:
Main className (see build.gradle): com.gluonhq.samples.singleviewgvm.SingleViewWithGluonVM
CFBundleIdentifier (see Default-info.plist): com.gluonhq.samples.singleviewgvm.SingleViewWithGluonVM
and
Gradle project (see settings.gradle): singleview-gluonvmApp
CFBundleExecutable (see Default-info.plist): singleview-gluonvmApp
or the sample DeepLearning-LinearClassifier, with similar settings.
As you can see, the Gluon IDE plugin sets by default the CFBundleIdentifier as the main class name and the CFBundleExecutable as the name of your mobile project.
CFBundleIdentifier
When you want to deploy your app to iOS, the provisioning profile should have this bundle ID. However, you can also use wildcards. Just make sure you have downloaded and installed to your machine the provisioning profile (it should be under /Users/<user>/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles), with extension .mobileprovision.
If you preview it (from Finder for instance), the AppID from this file could be something like <TEAM ID>.<mainClassName>, or <TEAM ID>.*.
This is where the jfxmobile plugin sets the appId.
CFBundleExecutable
About the CFBundleExecutable, this is the name your application under build/gvm/ will have. It is mandatory in this case that it uses the name of your project (as in the gradle name).
This is where the jfxmobile plugin sets the appName.
You will find your app under /<appName>/build/gvm/<appName>.app (though Finder will show just <appName>:
If you see the content of the app, you will find the executable file under /<appName>/build/gvm/<appName>.app/<appName>:
The error you are getting;
[13:17:58:954] : Error: APIInternalError, Description: Failed to unhide archs in executable file:///private/var/installd/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.LXITKr/extracted/testFX.app/TestApp
shows testFX.app/TestApp, so probably your project name is testFX, but should be TestApp?
Alternatively, you can simple match the value you have set in CFBundleExecutable, by adding a settings.gradle file to your project, with:
rootProject.name = "<your bundle executable value>"
