QCAR Initialization Error

When running the Frame Marker sample app, I get the following error: QCAR Initialization Error Network connection required to initialize camera settings. Please check your connection and restart the application. If you are still experiencing problems, then your device may not be currently supported. I checked my internet and it working fine (Safari). These are my specs: Using Unity extension MacOS 10.6.8 Xcode 4.0 build 4A304a Unity 3.4.0f5 Ipad 2 (16gb, wifi only, Model MC979ZP, jailbroken) IOS v4.3.3 (8J2)

Ok, I tried again a few hours later and the same problem exists. I also connected to the internet via my Android using 3g and "portable wifi hotspot" feature. So that is a completely different source of internet. Same problem. No information is given on the error dialog other then what I posted.

The errors in that log, thrown before the QCAR initialization error are: SecItemDelete: missing entitlement SecItemAdd: missing entitlement With Android you have to tell the application that it has permission to use networking resources. Is there a similar requirement for IOS?

The Qualcomm QCAR apps should build and run with the settings and files 'out-of-the-box', apart from setting your own Bundle Identifier in the Info.plist file. To validate your development environment we recommend building and running an unmodified sample app on a non-jailbroken handset. The SecI

Well, un-jailbraking my iPad isn't really an option. An iPad without a jailbreak is a useless piece of electronic newspaper. Don't get me started on that. Besides, there are a lot of jailbroken devices out there and QCAR should work with them. There is no reason why it shouldn't.

[QUOTE=elecman]Edit: Is it possible to download the settings file manually and then copy it to the appropriate directory on my iPad?

elecman, could you check two things for us? 1) Try accessing another SSL encrypted site using Safari (https://...) 2) Check that the time is set correctly on the device.

-Successfully logged in to a https:// website -Time and date confirmed to be correct Still same problem... Just out of interest, why does Qualcomm enclose this camera settings file in a shroud of secrecy? -https? -can't manually download? -location on phone where it is saved unknown?
