Error launching remote program - iphone

I am new to iPhone application. i just started with xcode. My problem is: I have created an app using xcode & phonegap, it's running without any problem in simulator but when i try to test it on my iPad it throws an error.
Error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process 6074.
i dont know why this happens. i have searched it on StackOverflow but its kind of confusing (as i am new in iPhone app.)
please help me where i goes wrong & how can i solve this?
Application also open. After the application launched completely, after few seconds I got this error. after that My Application get crashed.
One more thing.
if i delete my old application then it reinstall it but it throws same error. but if i open that installed application then it will be my updated application.

The problem is because you are trying to debug your application using distribution provisioning profile. If you want to run your application in debug mode, you have to sign it with development provisioning profile and certificate (both in build settings and in target). If you are trying to create a distributable, sign it with distribution credentials and add Entitlements.plist (again both in build settings and target).
That’s because you put the get-task-allow = NO entitlement into ad-hoc builds, to stop your beta testers from being able to run the app in a debugger.

Error installing iOS app with Ad Hoc Profile

I have finished developing a big and heavy app. It is universal (for iPhone and iPad), and now I am trying to publish it in App Store. I have done this other times, so I know how annoying it is.
I'm using Xcode 4.2 and devices with many iOS versions (4.2.1, 5.0, 5.1). My app is enabled to send Push Notifications, and it doesn't use iCloud.
I have tested it with development certificate, and it works OK. Now I've generated and downloaded Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile in order to test it in my iPhone and iPad. It seem like all is OK, but when I'm going to install the app (with the Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning profile) with Xcode in any device, Xcode shows an error: "Error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process".
I've read this link it suggests two causes:
I am using Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning profile when debugging the app in my device. This is not the problem, because I'm not debugging the app.
I specify a code signing entitlements property list in my build settings which does not include a "get-task-allow" or "Can be debugged" property. This is not the problem, because I'm not specifying any entitlements property list because I don't need it (or I think so).
Some people that have the same problem solve it adding the "get-task-allow" property to the entitlements property list. But I haven't that file. So the question is, Do I need to create it just for add the "get-task-allow" property?
If I don't , which is the problem? I'm not trying to debugging and I haven't entitlements p-list in my app.
Although my app doesn't need entitlements p-list, I tried to create it and add the "get-task-allow" property in OFF following this, but it didn't solve the problem.
I have also to say that althought Xcode shows the error during the installation in the device and the app shut off, when I start again the app, the installation is done and the app runs without problem.
I read the following similar thread, but they didn't solve my problem:

Thank you so much.
I am using Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning profile when debugging the app in my device. This is not the problem, because I'm not debugging the app.
This is exactly the problem.
You are trying to run an ad-hoc application from the XCode - it means to debug it.
You should archive your app and install it (an ipa file) together with the correct provisioning profile.
There are few ways to install the app:
Using iTunes - not trivial
Using an iPhone Configuration Utility - easier
Using some OTA (over the air) installation service (e.g. TestFlight site) - I use this all the time, after a couple of times it gets really easy and you can distribute your Beta version to remote devices (e.g. clients, friends etc.)
The problem look like you are running App from Xcode with Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning profile.
After Archiving (Product menu > Archive ) the App from Xcode, you can get ipa.
You can install ipa via iTunes if you device already sync with your iTunes app.
https://testflightapp.com/ , I am using testflightapp for testing the app. It's easy to use and we can distribute to for test user.

Can't Launch Xcode App Without Code Signing on iPad, Can on iPhone

I am trying to deploy an Xcode app to my iPad without code signing. To do so, I have edit the SDKSettings.plist file, changed my project settings to do not run, and installed AppSync. This is the error I receive:
Error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process 1019.
This is the error in the debug screen:
Error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process 1396.The program being debugged is not being run.
The number keeps changing. On my iPhone, once I hit "ok" to dismiss the error on my computer, I can launch the app from the springboard and use it perfectly. However, on my iPad, this is not the case. It just crashes if I attempt to open it.
Has anyone ever had this program, or know how to solve it?
Also, my iPhone is on 5.0.1, and my iPad is on 5.1.1. The app works fine in the simulator, though.
You must have a valid provisioning profile, which requires enrollment in the iOS Developer Program. There is no way to run apps on an iOS device without a provisioning profile. For more information: https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/

Weird error when trying to run a test on device

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

iPhone app crashes with no log (only with distribution profile)

My app crashes for some reason but I can't figure out why.
It just crashes after about 3 seconds after application is launched.
The console says:
Error launching remote program: failed to get the task for process 4091.
The program being debugged is not being run.
But it does not have problem with debug profile or developer provisioning.
( It also does not have problem with simulator. )
The crash only happens with distribution or ad-hoc provisioning in device.
The debugger also works with developer profile but not with ad-hoc(or distribution) profile.
I have tried many things I can do.
Removed old provision files in my device, and get new ones.
Turned off the device and on again.
Removed distribution certification and got new one. And received another provision again.
They did not work.
Does anybody have any idea?
Thank you.
I just solved the problem. I removed all previous versions of the same application in my phone. And it works fine!
Maybe there's some kind of collision.
This normally happens when you have an ad hoc version installed and you try to run a debug version or vice versa.
You cannot run an ad hoc version in debug mode, i.e. directly from xcode.
In case you run the ad hoc/distribution profile, the app will exit soon afterward, but it install the app in your phone. Next time you run the app by tapping the app icon in your phone, it will run the ad hoc version. But you cannot debug the ad hoc version running from xcode.

Error from Debugger: The program being debugged is not being run

Please dont mark this as duplicate
I am getting this error while debugging my app on device I tried everything from these posts (see below) but no luck -
iPhone SDK- Error from Debugger: The program being debugged is not being run
XCode fails to run app on device, saying the program being debugged is not being run
Can I not run two app with the same build identifier? I use one identifier yesterday to debug one app. Now I am using the same identifier to debug another app on device.
I have tried following -
1) restart mac and iphone
2) reinstall the provision profile (both from xcode and itunes)
Please help!
You can run two app with the same build id. Are you using a distribution profile or development profile?
OK... I got it!
I have to remove the previous app from xcode organizer. Its working now!!
