Invalid Webtrends DCSID. Please be sure this is correctly specified in Webtrends.plist

Products

Webtrends Analytics 9.x

Issue

When running a mobile application with a Webtrends mobile SDK for iOS included, an error displays in the stack dump saying

“Invalid Webtrends DCSID. Please be sure this is correctly specified in Webtrends.plist”

Cause

The wt_dc_dcsid value is not in the correct format and/or may contain extra characters.

Resolution

The format should be:

dcsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxx

The dcsid consists of the letters dcs followed by 22 alphanumeric characters, then an underscore and a set of four more alphanumeric characters.

After correcting this, the application should be completely removed from the testing device before being redeployed in development environments. This complete removal should not be necessary when redeploying an application to the iTunes Store.
