Hybrid mobile apps didn't install. about salesforcemobilesdk-ios

Try a git clean -fdx from the root of the repo directory, then try running ./install.sh again. It's possible you have some stale dependencies that are incompatible with the iOS 6 libraries.

Additionally, you may want to capture the output of your install to a text file, so you can look backwards from the first failure and see what the ultimate error message/area is. ./install.sh > install_out.txt 2>&1

I am experiencing the same issue / error message using XCode Version 4.5.1 (4G1004);

Really appreciate any assistance resolving this issue.

I would still recommend the instructions above. Namely, first try doing a git clean -fdx from the root of your repository, followed by an ./install.sh > install_out.txt 2>&1. Then open the resultant build output file and check for the root cause of the failure. This is usually accomplished by searching for the first instance of the word 'fail', from the top of the file.

The lines after the 'BUILD FAILED' message invariably do not present a very granular explanation for why a build fails. They're just reporting the 'stack trace' of ant build target failures. In this case, you can trace the line numbers and see that the SalesforceHybridSDK failed to build at its compile stage, but it doesn't tell you anything further about why it would have failed. That information will be present in the actual compilation steps that happen prior to this message.

Hi Kevin, thanks I did the ./install.sh > install_out.txt 2>&1 and traced the issue back to the initial error "fatal: not a git repository". After recreating the repository again it worked fine. Thanks again!

Glad it worked out!
