I'm using IMAP, I think my friend does also. Sounds like you found the sticking point. Yes, flag goes from iOS Mail to Mac Mail to gmail web view. I’m using IMAP, I think my friend does also.

Turns out, my iPhone was setup to use Gmail as Exchange, not as IMAP. That appears to be where the breakage is (Exchange ActiveSync supports flags but it appears Google's implementation does not). So, it's likely true that the IMAP bit works fine and those of us with trouble are using ActiveSync to access Gmail, to access the extra features that come with that option. Sounds like to get push, calendar and contact sync, you have to give up flags... I'll update the post.

I think that's what we're all saying but since it doesn't work for me at all in either of my accounts, it's a surprise to hear. In talking to a few other people in relation to this script, I'm definitely not alone. I'd love to determine what the other variable is.

Maybe it's all in the wrist :-) I spoke to my friend, who said he is unaware of any Gmail implementation details with regards to stars/flagging, but that he uses it all the time without difficulty in conjunction with Mail.app, the gmail web app, and the Mail for iPod touch.

If you're not given IPA as a choice and it does an Xarchive, there's likely something in your project preventing it, such as inclusion of a static library. Xcode will only create an IPA if it can create a self-contained bundle of everything and if you have the copying flags setup incorrectly/differently in your project, it won't work. This is a little bit out of scope for this app, since it's assuming you have a properly built IPA but perhaps it can be helpful to someone.

I'd personally recommend using Xcode to create the IPA instead of doing it manually as you're suggesting above. Thanks for the comment.

A lot of the below information is not clear in the documentation: Create a folder Payload Put the application in there Zip it up Rename .zip to .ipa Drag the .ipa file into the BetaBuilder application icon which will launch the application. Put in bundle identifier (at one point this was entered automatically by the application, but that stopped working for some reason), Has to be exactly the same name as the one in the info.plist. Note that spaces in the name are generally replaced with a dash. Put in App name (e.g. Mercury). Must be the same as the app filename Put in URL where you will place the html file (NO ending slash) Click Generate Rename index.html to some name (e.g. dl.html) Upload the following 3 files: your .ipa file manifest.plist (Created by generate above) dl.html (Created by generate above) On the iPad 1 it works fine, however it appears that on the iPad 2, the icon doesn't show up? There is artwork that can be included in the .ipa Package like iTunesArtwork, but this doesn't appear to be the problem. There is a way to get XCode to create the .ipa file using Build and archive, but I can't figure out how to get XCode to build an .ipa file (despite what the documentation says, it simply doesn't work). Perhaps if we get that to work it will be cleaner and work properly. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ipa_(file_extension) for more information. There are some other files which can be put in there (iTunesArtwork and iTunesMetadata.plist), but they don't seem to be necessary. If we get XCode to generate this, presumably, these will be in there. I got to work sort of. A lot of the below information is not clear in the documentation:

There is no archive and build option, but there is a Build for Archive option, then an archive option which creates an .xarchive file. The organizer is supposed to allow you to create an .ipa file from this by clicking on the archive then hitting share, but there is no option to create an .ipa package. *iOS App Store Package (.ipa) not present, it says "no packager exists for this archive". 2) OK, gave up on that and created my own .ipa file by creating a "Payload" directory and putting my enterprise license signed app in there and zipping it and changing the .zip to .ipa. 3) Dragged that into the BetaBuild app, and it read it, so sounds good. Wasn't totally sure what to put in the URL so put in my website domain / Payload.zip. 4) Build the package and renamed it to Payload.zip. 5) Uploaded Payload.zip, index.html, and manifest.plist to my website 6) Went to my iPad in Safari and types in mydomain/index.html. Got the web page, clicked on "Tap here to installed ....", got the error message "Cannot connect to mydomain.com". Bizarre, that domain is perfectly fine. Totally hit a wall. Sounds great, but woe I must be a dunce, I can’t figure this out.

I'd recommend first verifying that all of the devices are in your profile, cleaning and re-building and re-deploying. Also, on the device itself, make sure you don't have an old profile that's expired still on the device. Settings -> General -> Profiles. Definitely some sort of signing or provisioning issue.
