Fail to Build on target device

[Megh]

ok, i'm a newbie in symbian.
I'm trying to install my app on my target(N97).

I've succesfully build the app and able to install it on the phone.

The demo app is pretty simple and just has a grid implementation. It runs well on emulator. It doesnt even have nay capabilities other than Readuserdata.

But after installing the app on phone,when i try to launch the app,it crashses before startup.


I wanted to know, wht r the things I can check that might differ in emulator nd target device.And can i have a log on device? how do i debug it?

plz help.....This one is a surprise i got...wth evrything running well on emulator y cant i launch it on target.

your suggestions and help is highly welcome.

You have the option of on device debugging which is much improved from what is in the article http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...vice_app_debug if you try to search you might find more newer relevant screencast/article.

Also checking the panic could give some ideas on what could be going wrong in there: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Panic

Thnx for ur help...

I cud finally zoom down to the line from where d app crashes..

AknIconUtils::CreateIconLC(AppIcon,AppIconMsk,KMifFile,j,k);

where KMifFile="\\resource\\apps\\Demo.mbm")

Mostly, it is unable to find d KMifFile....but i cant figure out why...

posting my package file if can give ny clue:

;Files to install

"\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\Demo_0xEA3F66D2.exe"		-"!:\sys\bin\Demo_0xEA3F66D2.exe"

Hi,

install an ErrRd sis file on your device and then launch your application.
You will see the error reported for not lauching your application process.

First of all you are installing

"\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0\Epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\Demo_0xEA3F66D2.mif" -"!:\resource\apps\Demo_0xEA3F66D2.mif"

so it shows some kind of absolute non-understanding if you really expect \\resource\\apps\\Demo.mbm to be there.
The second thing is that providing \\something will not necessarily find out where your application installed.
You can detect the installation drive in run-time

_LIT(KMifFile,"\\resource\\apps\\Demo_0xEA3F66D2.mif");
TFileName filename=KMifFile;
filename.Insert(0,RProcess().FileName().Left(2));
...
AknIconUtils::CreateIconLC(AppIcon,AppIconMsk,filename,j,k);

(where the Demo.mbm is also fixed).

@Wizard_hu
Ooopsss...my bad...

Stupid of me,there was some issue in mif file so i changed it KMifFile to mbm file and missed to change it in the pkg file also.
