What I usually do is : - quit xcode - remove app from device - shut down device (complete shutdown, not just sleep mode) - start up device - start up xcode. Then it should work, if not it might be a provisioning error, you could delete the profile and download it again from the portal. – Feriga

@NickyGoethals ok let me check. – Sension

@NickyGoethals Done with all thing that you have mentioned but .. :( no luck, but it works on simulator and device lower than iOS 6.0 i.e iOS 5.1. Any other idea? – Sension

Are you sure you are using a device that has been added to the provisioning portal ? That's the only thing I can think off. – Feriga

yes the name and 16 digit hexadecimal udid to provisioning. but now i have cleared all derive data, clean all the project, check if device added in provisioning, re download the provisioning, checked code signing, edit scheme and comes out wit problem:No such file or directory (/Users/jassal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/..) – Sension

@NickyGoethals although there exist file at path – Sension

I'm sorry, all out of ideas for the moment. Only thing I can think of is restoring your device. Good luck ! – Feriga

I have the same problem. Seemed to pop up all of the sudden a few days ago. – Eberto

I am facing the same issue but it happens once in every two times. I have checked the profiles. I am using development profile in release mode. But the problem has become quite irritating. Anyone faced the same issue? – Walliw

Answer 1

None of the above tips helped me. It turned out I was using my Distribution Profile instead of the Developer Profile in Debug mode. You can check the Profile you are using by going to Build Settings->Code Signing Entity.

Make sure you are using your Developer Profile in Beta and Debug mode.

Thank you very much! Interesting how Xcode can't be a bit smarter about this. – Courtenay

Answer 2

I had a similar issue when trying to debug an App with Ad-Hoc provisioning... Check which provisioning you're using, it seems ad-hoc provisioning cannot be used for debbuging.

Answer 3

Whenever this happens to me, I have done the following to fix the problem:

1. Stop the app from running in Xcode.
2. Delete the app from the device (or Simulator).
3. Select Product > Clean from the Xcode menu.
4. Close Xcode.
5. Close the Simulator (or restart the device).
6. Restart your computer (yes I know this like a Windows solution but seriously).
7. Try again.
