Xcode build failed with exit code 1

I am involved in my first native IOS development project. Because I am kind of excited to be working on this project I wanted to play with the code and the development environment some this weekend. When I opened up Xcode to get stated I changed 1 line of code and did a build. What did I get for my enthusiasm? A failed build with "exit code 1."



With such a helpful error message, I went straight to google. I saw a lot of posts on stackoverflow.com pointing to problems with the certificate. We've done enough mobile app development for me to know that IOS certificates can be a royal pain. But the project built fine on Friday I hadn't changed anything with the certificate. Being the weekend, I wasn't up for the frustration of tracking down a vague error code so I shut my MacBook Pro and went back to my weekend.

When I came in to the office this morning and did a little more googling. I found this thread on the apple developer forums with a suggestion for the simple step of cleaning the project, why I didn't think of this myself I cannot say other than the fact that I am pretty new to Xcode development and in my defense, during my 10 years of experience with .NET Studio, I can remember 1 or 2 times of having to "clean" a project. Anyway, cleaning the project worked to fix "build failed with exit code 1." I'll keep that in mind.

A Man Full of Leprosy

In the Gospel reading for Mass today, LK 5:12-16 we read Now there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where he was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” LK 5:12 The weather this morning forced me into the gym and onto the treadmill. So as I was runningandpraying on the treadmill I kept coming back to this first verse of today's Gospel. This verse I think addresses 2 profound yet prevalent misconceptions about Christianity. On one hand, there is a notion that Christians believe they are perfect and don't sin and don't need to be made clean. But that is just not true. We are all like this leper, full of sin that is eating away our life. That doesn't mean we cannot approach our Lord. Rather, it means that we must approach Him because He is the one who can make us clean. On the other hand, a lot of people have the idea that Christians think they merely need to say "Jesus i...

2013 BeeBumble 10k: Race Report

This has quickly become one of my favorite races of the year and I am not alone because there was a record 575 participants across the different events this year. I like the small town atmosphere, I like the course that is an out and back on a country road, and the timing makes it a perfect tune up race for the fall season. After my performance here the last two years I am also really beginning to appreciate it for the confidence booster it is and it's ability to add a breath of fresh air to the end of the training cycle for the 2013 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. For this race I added an early morning shake out run to get my body primed for running. This was just a short and easy 20 minute run very first thing out of bed. Nearly all of my running is first thing in the morning but  I've never done it as a shakeout for a race. I liked it and think I'll keep it. The last 5k I ran I didn't do a warm up and I learned my lesson because it cost me a very slow fi...

Running Goals or Running Goal; What is it That I Want?

The other day I got all caught up in setting running goals for myself for the rest of the year. After the goals were set, I found myself starting to worry about how I was going to reach them. Wondering if there would be time to sufficiently prepare for them all. My goals were to run a 5k in under 20 minutes, to run a half marathon in 1:25 minutes and qualify for and run in the Boston marathon in 2014. At first, I thought that setting and meeting these goals would make me a more serious runner. In fact, I thought that to be the "serious" runner I want to be that I needed these goals. However, while I was running the other morning I realized that first of all, I was thinking about how to shift my training to meet my 5k goal. Then I began thinking about the right approach to a 1:25 half while training to qualify for Boston in a full marathon a month later. That is when I realized that the ancillary goals were starting to consume my focus and quite possibly i...
