I have created the .ipa file of the application. I have installed it the device via iTunes. It is getting installed on the device but when I launch the application it shows the message "Could not launch application". I have added the deviceId to provisioning profile. Please give me some suggestion on this.
This happens to me some times but it just couldn't launch the app when I get onto my device and scroll over to the screen where the app would be it is there and if I manually launch it on my own it still works... I don't know what causes it, I wish I could help.
Delete your same previous application from iPAD, Now delete all profile and install fresh copy of your application. i hope it seems working....
Same problem i got while creating iPA file. I have solved issue in this way.
First of all check you have previous build in your device. Then you need to relaunch your xcode, build and clean your project using CMD+SHIFT+K then create iPA file and try to install in device. Make sure that you have deleted all previous instances of application and if possible then restart your device. One more thing check same provisioning profile is available in your xcode through Organizer.
This works fine for me.
For almost a week i'm getting this weird error when i'm trying to run the app on my idevice.
the error is that:
error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process 10492
It's important to say that I get this message on Xcode, the app quites on the idevice, but right after I can run it by clicking on the app icon and it works just fine with the latest updates.
what seems to be the problem?
Thanks alot!
The problem is that you have set the build configuration in Release mode, and installing the application in device through Xcode. If you want to debug the app, then you should go to Edit scheme, and choose Debug mode. Also, make sure, you have a developer profile, and that you are building with that developer profile. Then, when you try to install the app through Xcode, you will see the app getting installed. Hope that helps!
GDB is having trouble attaching to the device process. Have you tried restarting the device?
If this is a permanent issue and you have an Entitlements.plist file have a look at this.
Please check your certificates. If you are signing with distribution certificate then you will not able to debug. To debug you have to have provision certificate
Hope this will help
I am having some problem in installing my app on the iphone as I am constantly getting the following error message
The service is invalid
Please check your setup and try again
(0XE8000022)
It was running perfectly well till yesterday but since yesterday I am having this problem.
Xcode and the GDB connection is quite temperamental. The device and your Mac can become unsynchronised with each other. My checklist for this sort of thing:
Restart Xcode.
Delete the .app from your iOS device, do a Clean then Rebuild.
Disconnect, reconnect device.
Restart iOS device (90% of the time it fixes things)
If all else fails, restart your Mac (unlikely but it did fix an issue once for me).
I have solved the problem... Only needed to restart the iphone...
Restarting the Xcode wont work in this case. So just restart your iPhone and everything will be fine.
EDIT:
If you have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0 and have installed the "iOS Updater" app, you will also have this message.
Finishing the update process to iOS 6.0.1 will resolve the problem.
If you have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0 and have installed the "iOS Updater" app, you will also have this message.
Finishing the update process to iOS 6.0.1 will resolve the problem.
This error also happens if the iPhone provisioning profile has expired.
It can be a couple of things, the first and inmediate thing I'd check is to see if your IPhone is currently Downloading or "Preparing Update..." whilst this is running you generally get the "Device is invalid (0xe8000084)" / Error MT1006.
This i found to be the most common thing. so try this first.
And if that fails: Restart your IPhone, and then if that fails restart your Mac/Xcode
and do a clean then Rebuild and deploy..
Hope this helps
This error happens when you try to debug an application in your IPod/IPhone and the device is code-locked or executing another application.
Make sure you can see the menu with all the app icons on the device and try to run again.
Regards
If nothing works then check if your device os is compatible with your Xcode version.
I confirm that restarting your device solves the issue.
But if your device is jailbroken with a Semi-tethered jailbreak you will loose it after a reboot.
To prevent this, do a ldrestart(soft reboot).
In order to perform it, download a terminal application from Cydia, then type:
su
Input your password when asked, the default password is "alpine".
Then type
ldrestart
Unplugged the device and connected again with Mac solved my issue. Did not need to clean, build or restart XCode. XCode 10.2.1, iOS 12.3.1 version.
First remove the app from iPhone before building the app from xcode.
Then Clean All Targets from xcode and then try to build your app again.
SnowLeopard w/ XCode 4.2's Instruments will give this message on newer iOSes.
I had luck by disconnecting my iPhone from my mac, and then Analyzing (Shift + Command + B or Product -> Analyze).
After that I plugged my iPhone back in and did a clean (Command + k) and then run. Worked!
Simply restarting the device (as the alert suggests) fixed the problem, at least on iOS 12.
This happens after I hit Build and Go to run my app on my device.
Build -> Clean fixes it, but it's very annoying to have to clean and rebuild the entire project every time I want to run it.
P.S. Is there any way to transfer my app to my iPhone using Xcode, but not run it?
A restart of the device and Xcode seems to have fixed it for me.
At least for now...
Have you tried to reinstall the SDK?
Try to kill all your background app if youre running on iOS 4.0 or above.
Problem
Unlike people have asked at here and
here, I got this error after a brand new installation of Leopard (hackintosh), this problem really driving me crazy and nowhere else to find an clue, I googled and visited every article related with this, still can't get it solved.
After the first time install iPhone SDK 2.2.1, start a new project(any type, Navigate based, OpenGL ES application), then build and go, I got the following problem:
sometime it's:
Failed to launch simulated application: Unknown error.
and sometimes it's:
Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to find the process ID of com.yourcompany.[application name]
It seems that apps in the simulator crashed immediately, so Xcode can find the process ID.
Solution
This link says that this even can't be solved. Some others make a detailed step by step:
Uncheck Info.plist
Quit XCode
Delete directory /Lib/Caches/com.apple.DeveloperTools.###
Open Xcode project
Clean All Targets
Rebuild
and I reset the iPhone Simulator. This also didn't solve the problem…
I've even tried uninstall the SDK and reinstall it, still got the same error…
Is this a problem related with hardwares? or the operating system version? I'm using a hackintosh (iDenebv1.4 10.5.6), all other software works good including iTunes && vmware fusion.
Great thanks for any further tips or clues!
FIXED For the issue:
iPhone Simulator failed to find the process ID of com.yourcompany.[your application name]
I was having an issue building and simulating a project I built under OS Version 2.2.1, which I could no longer get to build and run in the simulator for XCode 3.1.4, even though I forced XCode to build for "Simulator - 2.2.1 Debug"
I was able to get past this problem by:
- Close the iPhone Simulator
- Putting XCode into View->Detail
- Opening the "Info.plist" file in the "Resources" folder
- Near the top of the file you should see "Info.plist" with and up/down arrow selector
- Click on the up/down arrow selector
- Select "Clear File History"
Built For:
Simulator - 2.2.1
XCode Version:
3.1.4 (Which includes OS3.1 Beta 3)
I had the same issue last night, and suddenly my system got reboot. At that moment, i was trying to install an application into simulator. When system returned, and i tried again to install the app, it said, "Failed to launch simulated application"
Than i did googled it, and tried many solutions, like cleaining all targets and try building again, but didn't worked out.
So i have found the following link, where it is described, how to reset the iPhone Simulator contents:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iphone_development/125-Using_iPhone_Simulator/iphone_simulator_application.html
I tired doing it, and you guys would'nt believe me, it worked :) ,
Solution was : "To set the user content and settings of the simulator to their factory state and remove the applications you have installed, choose iPhone Simulator > Reset Content and Settings"
Best of Luck to all.............. :)
This ends up being a product name issue:
The fix is to revert back to
${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
${PRODUCT_NAME}
for the executable file and com..${PRODUCT_NAME} in the info.plist.
Clean XCode, Quit, rese and quit simulator and you're good to go.
found some wierd log in /var/log/system.log.

Here is a discussion about how to run app in simulator via command line, hope it helps to understand how does xcode and simulator works.
But I didn't work it out.
Well, I "solved" it by install another distribution of hackintosh(IPC 10.5.6), works perfect!
In my case, I was adding a target to an existing app that had always worked. In my case, I had forgotten to select all the source code, xibs, frameworks, etc. and click their target checkbox. My clue was that the build happened instantaneously, which didn't make any sense. It never built anything. It just failed to install in the simulator. Once I included all the source files, etc., for the new target, then it built and installed fine.
I had the same problem, I fixed it by launching the simulator through another app and deleting the app I was trying to run on it. Then try to build and run and worked perfect.
Cheers
Matt
I had the same problem. I had accidentally added my info.plist file to my target and it was getting copied to the app bundle every time I built the application. So there were 2 .plist files in the bundle - mine and the Info.plist, created by XCode - which confused the simulator.
Simply delete the app from the simulator (and/or device if you're attempting to run on your device) via the UI of the simulator, then shut the simulator down and attempt to re-run the app. Doing the deletion of the actual files backing the simulator will also remove the app and do the same thing (but the deletion via the simulator's UI, if it works for you, is a little bit faster and easier).
Is your CPU Intel, and, of a model distributed in Apple hardware?
I doubt the Simulator will work reliably (if at all) on non-Intel CPUs and/or in VMWare. The simulator is very CPU specific in order to reflect the arm hardware of the iPhone.
The SDK ONLY supports Intel hardware from Apple.
There is a significant effort involved in creating the simulator and it's not easy or cheap (read, thousands of man hours) to support every CPU.
I fixed this problem by removing the "Icon already includes gloss and bevel effect" property from the Info.plist file in my project.
My problem centered around a Product Name the simulator simply wouldn't accept. Picking alternative names got me past the problem. Changing the name back to the original suspect choked the simulator every time.
Try moving the project to your local hard driver and opening it from there! That solved the issue for me (the project used to be stored on a samba share).
My fix:
restarted the Mac and it was fixed. (before that tried clearing caches, deleting caches from iPhone Simulator, cleaning, rebuilding, quitting OS, quitting Simulator, nothing worked.) Restarting the OS worked.
This was bugging me too but finally got it working.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce what I did it but here's my list of actions for your information.
The project causing the problem was one I'd downloaded from Apple and tweaked.
Interestingly, I could still launch my own projects fine.
So, here's a list of actions that I did (note that none of the actions below worked just by itself):
- closing the simulator and doing "clear file history"
- restarting simulator
- rebooting
- restarting xcode
- resetting the iPhone with Reset Content and Settings
However, by the time I'd tried all of the above with a fresh version of the code I'd downloaded - it was working again. Just out of interest, I dragged the project that was causing this problem back to the desktop and it was OK now.
Wow, what a pain. I had to uninstall XCode 4 via the command line and then install XCode 3 again. Make sure that you restart after you reinstall. Working...
why anybody didn't tell about restarting simulator.
In my case,
Resetting the iPhone with Reset Content and Settings
and
**ReStart Simulator**
works well~
I had the exact same problem - I reset the iphone simulator and then quit the simulator then started it again.
