Why do I get an error when installing my Pebble app on the aplite emulator?

Question

I'm having a hard time trying to install my Pebble app to the aplite emulator. I'm using the Mac SDK, not CloudPebble, and when I type:

pebble install --emulator aplite --debug

I get the following output:

[DEBUG   ] Initializing reader thread

Any idea what goes wrong?

I don't have such problems with the basalt emulator.

UPDATE After running pebble wipe and pebble login, I'm getting slightly different message:

Note: this post is potentially a bug specific to `Pebble SDK 3.0beta12` (and below, the user reports using `Pebble SDK 3.1` with the emulator command `pebble wipe` resolved the issue). **As of 2021 the current release is** `Pebble SDK 4.3`, officially found here: https://developer.rebble.io/developer.pebble.com/sdk/index.html — Gamepad.Coder, Mar 14 '21 at 18:18

This is a generic error that happens every once and a while on aplite. This is going to be fixed in 3.1 of the commandline SDK.

You can run pebble wipe and pebble login to resolve the issue until the official fix comes in 3.1.

Didn't help. Getting a more detailed error though. cf. updated question. – Mick F Jul 01 '15 at 11:06
I just upgraded to the SDK 3.1 (I was 3.0beta12) and now things work. Maybe the wipe was responsible after all. :) – Mick F Jul 01 '15 at 15:57
