I'm trying to get my libGDX game running on an iPhone. I'm using libGDX v1.7.2 and RoboVM plugin v1.12.0 but isn't enrolled in the Apple Developer program. It should be possible to run it anyway with a free provisioning from XCode 7.0 (using 7.2 atm) according to http://docs.robovm.com/getting-started/provisioning.html#free-provisioning. I followed the steps there.

When I start the game (debugg/run as iOS Device App from Eclipse) i get the following error:

Launch failed. Check the RoboVM console for more information. The given data is not a property list of a supported format.

The last 10 lines from the console in question:

Entitlements.plist is mentioned in the last line before the error and looks like this. I assume this is the property list the error message refers to.

And here is the stacktrace from launching the project from a terminal if it's helpful:

And now I'm stuck. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

  • not sure if this is the problem, might have something to do with your info.plist.xml? Could you post that? Also try to run the command with --debug, you might get more information on where it goes wrong – p.streef Jan 07 '16 at 13:19

I had the same problem.

Using the latest nightly build of RoboVM fixes the problem. Instructions can be found here:

http://docs.robovm.com/advanced-topics/nightlies.html

According to this post on RoboVM's Google group, the bug is linked to an issue with a 'USB Hub'. In my case, it seems to have occurred after I changed my VM's USB support from Usb3 to Usb2 (to fix a different bug!).
