I recently downloaded the Xcode 7 Beta in hopes of using the new feature that allows you to test apps on your phone without paying their developer fee. I followed the steps in the answer to this question
Test iOS app on device without apple developer program or jailbreak
However, I am unable to choose my device in the scheme because it is under ineligible devices. When I click 'Fix Issue', I get the error "Unable to create a provisioning profile because your team has no devices registered in the Member Center. Please connect a device, enable it for development, and add it to the Member Center using the Organizer." However, I cannot do any of this because I do not have a paid Apple developer account. How can I get Xcode to create a free provisioning profile and allow my phone to be used for testing?
Thanks!
To deploy an app to a device, it has to be registered in the member center. Since this functionality isn't available until iOS 9 is released, you won't be able to run it until then.
Xcode 7 doesn't change anything about that.
Join the developer forums or just log in to the developer centre with your Apple ID and then things will start to work as you will have joined the free tier of the developer program https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/ and Xcode 7 will show your apple ID as having free ios and mac development under accounts in the Xcode preferences section.
I've had no problems testing on an iPhone 6 and old iPad 3 both with iOS 8.whatever :)
Xcode 7 automatically registers your device, installs two development certificates in your keychain (Mac & iOS) and provides provisioning profile management ... thats kind of the whole point :)

I need to connect Iphone with xamarin studio,I connect my phone but it will not display in debugging devices.
Before you can deploy your application to a device, you need to have an active subscription with the Apple Developer Program. Visit the Apple Developer Portal to get registered.
Apple has outlined a set of special guidelines that developers must follow in order to do everything from deploying to a device to shipping to the App Store. These steps ensure that everything you create or use during the development process, including your applications and devices, can be traced back to your Apple Developer account.

Just because you're a Xamarin developer, doesn't mean you're not going to need to occasionally do things in Xcode.
This post should point you in the right direction:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/135382/developer-option-is-not-available-under-settings-menu-why
Sounds like the option has been moved to somewhere other than the XCode Organizer in versions newer than XCode 6. It's apparently now under Window -> Devices in XCode.
I have registered from Apple.com. Previously I have uploaded app also to apple.itunensconnect.com. I just upgrade my mac os & Xcode and trying to connect iPhone. iPhone is connected to system but in Xcode not showing device name
i am new to Xcode, I have small IPhone Mobile App, I am trying to connect my IPhone to Xcode 5.1 but unable to detect.
In my mac system showing/connecting IPhone. In Xcode not showing?
can any one tell me how to connect iPhone to Xcode 5.1?
thanks in advance..
I would bet that you haven't registered as a paid Apple developer on the Apple Developer Portal.
When developing apps for iOS you are required to register with Apple as an Apple developer. There are 3 options a Free Apple developer Account which doesn't really allow you to do much at all, you can't test on devices, you can't submit to the App Store. There is also the 2 paid options.
Option 1: Is the first paid option for $99 a year which will allow you to create a provisioning profile and submit to the app store Option 1 can be found here
Option 2: Is for more bigger organizations but it cost $299 and can be found here
All the options can be found here
Once you are a fully paid up Apple developer you will need to create a provisioning profile which has your device on it. Once this is all complete you should be able to developer apps for your device.
If you are a paid up developer and have the correct provisioning profile please can you update your question and I will amend my answer.
It could be because
The deployment target is higher than your iPhone version
The supported device is set to iPad
I'm working on an application that I want to test on iOS 7, but I have no devices that can run iOS 7.
A friend living far away from me with an iPhone 5 is willing to beta-test the app.
I've added his UDID to my developer profile.
What else would his phone need to test the app properly?
I think he needs the provisioning profile/certificate installed on his phone?
Would his phone then be able to install the iOS 7 beta without any problems?
From my understanding, phones that are not tied to a developer account are bricked if they try to install the beta.
General Notes
Might I recommend you look into http://www.testflightapp.com? Among other things, it will ensure:
You have his UUID without error
He can download your app
You can collect feedback, crash reports, and "checkpoint" information about his usage.
You can enlist the help of others as well using this (and similar) services, making this whole problem a lot easier to manage now and in the future.
How to enable iOS Beta version installs:
Once you're sure you have his UUID, put it into your developer account's device list using the Apple Developer Portal, and he will be able to install iOS 7 Beta using iTunes. You may want to either add his apple ID to your developer account so he can download the beta, or otherwise arrange to get the .DMG to him.
How to distribute your app:
You need to create a distribution profile for your app which includes the device UUID you received from your friend. This can be done on the Apple Developer Portal under Certificates. After you create the profile, download and install it on your development computer. When you create an IPA, be sure to sign it with this profile. You can then use testflight, or some other means to distribute the app.
I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1 and also have xcode 4.2. When I try to build & run my app in my iDevice instead of iOS 5.0 Simulator, it pops-up error like this: "No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version." so is there any way to send my app into my own iphone?
You'll need to make sure your device has a provision profile installed that includes the device's UDID and the app's ID. If you're fairly new to iOS development and haven't installed one of your apps on a device before, you'll definitely want to go through the instructions in the iOS developer portal -- they'll walk you through the provisioning process. Also, if you've only recently updated the device to iOS 5, make sure that you tell Xcode to use the device for development.
Did you purchase the iOS Developer Program for 99$/year?
Did you register your Device with your UDID?
Did you install the Team Provisioning Profile on your iPhone?
In order to test your application on an iOS device (such as an iPhone or iPad), you must create an Apple provisioning profile and developer identity. Then you'll also have to create an app ID and register your device. If you have purchased a developer profile, I highly suggest following Apple's step by step guide on how to do this.
For now, here's a guide to to the first steps:
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-create-an-apple-development-provisioning-pr.html
Once you've created a developer profile, you can just use Apple's step by step guide
When I distribute Enterprise apps myself it works fine on devices with iOS 4.x but not on iOS 5.x devices. The info on http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html doesn't help me unfortunately.
Anyone any advice what could be the reason it's not working ?
Thank you
Frank
UPDATE: fixed it, I had to remove the entry for iTunesArtwork in the plist because IIS7 couldn't find the artwork file
I think this error is because the iOS5 device you are using is not provisioned for distribution. The error is not related to OS but provisioning. Check that you have added that device in provisioning portal of your apple developer account.
