Testing on jailbroken brand-new iOS device - using Xcode? - iphone

OK. So, here's some details on my situation :
I've got a brand-new iPhone 4.
The iOS version has been updated to 5.1.1 (9B206).
The phone has been jailbroken using redsn0w.
I'm running Lion (10.7.4) and Xcode 4.3.
Now, my issue :
I'm creating a sample test app, which runs fine under the simulator.
Followed everything here, but without any result.
Also tried enabling my device via Organizer ("Use as development device").
When I click on "Use as development device", it keeps saying...
The version of iOS on “Dr.Kameleon’s iPhone” does not match any of the
versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of
the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed
below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK; which is
available here.
OS Installed on Dr.Kameleon’s iPhone
5.1.1 (9B206)
Xcode Supported iOS Versions Latest
5.0 (9A334)
4.3
4.2
While, when I try running on my "iOS device" (that's how it appears), it claims there's no device with a proper iOS version.
No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS
version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to
run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
Any ideas? What's going wrong?

Look, everyone who says you can't build directly on a jailbroken device is wrong. You can, and it's quite easy to do. If you don't have a provisioned device (and it looks like you don't), using this guide will work. I've tested it myself on Lion running Xcode 4.3 (it even works on later versions, but those are under NDA).
The real issue seems to be that, for whatever reason, you don't have the iOS 5.1 SDK - you're using the iOS 5.0 SDK. You can confirm this by looking in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport. If you don't see any mention of 5.1, you don't have it installed. Try downloading and installing Xcode again (I believe it's 4.3.2 now), which should have the iOS 5.1 SDK bundled with it.

This error is not due to the jailbroken iPhone, its basically due to your lower version of Xcode which doesn't support the latest iOS, try upgrading your Xcode version to latest.hope it helps

Launching Xcode 4.0.2 application on iPhone/iPad from VMWare

I would like to test an application on my iPhone and iPad.
The iPhone is running 5.1 and the iPad is running 5.1.1
I am getting this error:
Xcode cannot run using the selected device. No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS
device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or
choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
I have a developer's license and have followed the provisioning wizard in the Apple website members section. I've installed everything like it said (certificate, provisioning profile in keychain, etc..) but am still getting this error.
I've tried compiling it on 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, and basically all of the options that are available in the build section.
In the Xcode Organizer, my devices show up with an Orange icon next to them. This is the 'error' message on this screen:
The version of iOS on “Personal iPad” does not match any of the
versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of
the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed
below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK; which is
available here.
This is all on VMWare on OS X 10.6.7.
I've read the other posts where people had a similar problem and tried the solutions proposed (which were mostly comprised of trying to run on older builds) and nothing worked so far.
Notice how you are compiling with an SDK version less than the version on your devices? That's a problem. For iOS 5 you need at least Xcode 4.2 (which comes with the 5.1 SDK).

XCode not recognizing my iphone

XCode was recognizing my device just a day ago but now its not. I am getting the error in the organizer below. I know there are many other questions like this but non of them are answering my question. I am unable to see "Use for Development" button, neither adding to portal is fixing the issue. I have upgraded the device when 5.1 came and was able to use the device for testing but dont know what happend yesterday and it stop recognizing the device.

you updated your phone, so you need the latest xcode installed to now develop apps on your dev phone
As your Device ios version is higher than what your xcode support.
Upgrade you xcode with the latest one (xcode 4.3).
This is the only Resason

"No provisioning iOS device connected"

About 3 months ago I set up my iPhone for development; installed the provisioning profile, updated the device to the latest version of iOS, namely 4.3.3 (8J2) and testing applications on my iPhone worked 100%.
Today I went back to working on one of my iPhone applications after not having worked in XCode for about a month, and now I do not seem to be able to deploy applications to my iPhone. When I try deploy and run on my iPhone, I get the message "No provisioning iOS device connected", even though my iPhone is connected.
If I look in the organizer window of XCode, I see my iPhone listed there under DEVICES, but I see the following message when I select my iPhone entry:
The version of iOS on “Bruce Hill’s iPhone” does not match any of the versions of iOS
supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the
device to a version of the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS
SDK; which is available here.
OS Installed on Bruce Hill’s iPhone
4.3.3 (8J2)

4.0.2
4.0.1
3.2
3.2.2
3.2.1
3.1
3.1.3
3.1.2
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong here and why XCode seems to think that my iPhone has an unsupported version of iOS installed, when in fact the latest version is installed?
UPDATE:
I have tried restarting my Macbook Pro, doing a hard reboot of my iPhone and removing my iphone entry in the organizer. None of these actions helped. My iPhone keeps getting listed in the organizer with an orange circle and if I hover over my iPhone entry I get a tooltip message that says "This device is busy or otherwise unusable by Xcode."
I did notice that in my developer information in System Profiler it only shows sdk 4.2 (8C134) installed, not 4.3.3 (8J2), even though Xcode lists it as being present and supported in the message I quoted above. Here is my developer information:
Version: 3.2 (10M2423)
Location: /Developer
Applications:
Xcode: 3.2.5 (1760)
Interface Builder: 3.2.5 (823)
Instruments: 2.7 (3017)
Dashcode: 3.0.2 (333)
SDKs:
Mac OS X:
10.4: (8S2167)
10.5: (9L31a)
10.6: (10M2423)
iPhone OS:
4.2: (8C134)
iPhone Simulator:
3.2: (7W367a)
4.0: (8A400)
4.1: (8B117)
4.2: (8C134)
I think what happened here is that I installed Xcode and then later did an update of my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3. This problem then occurred because my Macbook Pro actually didn't have the SDK for 4.3 installed, even though Xcode seemed to think that it was installed.
So, I got this working by downloading an installing Xcode 4.0.2 and iOS SDK 4.3. I downloaded Xcode from here: http://developer.apple.com/xcode/
Once Xcode 4.0.2 was installed and running, I connected my iPhone, it showed the orange dot again briefly (for about 10 seconds or so) and then this turned to a green dot and I was able to deploy my application to my device again... FINALLY!! :) In my developer settings in System Profiler, I also see iPhone OS: 4.3:(8H7) listed there now. I think that this issue would also have been resolved by installing Xcode 3.2.6 with iOS SDK 4.3, as this would, I think, also have resolved the missing or corrupt SDK 4.3 on my Macbook, but I chose to download and install the latest version.
So, bottom line: Xcode working again! I am happy! :)
I had a similar problem with my 3GS and i solve it by resetting iPhone's developer configuration. Try to hard reset your device (here' the link - don't worry, your dta will survive). Then remove your device from Xcode organizer and add it again.
Also try 'Cleaning' your Xcode project and just turning off your phone and back on again. Restart your computer while you're at it. After it's back up, open Xcode, then plug in the device. It should do its thing then start working again. I had the same issue a few times when I updated and hadn't disconnected/reconnected everything.

Does an app that made with ios sdk 4 install on device with os 4.2?

Does an app that made with ios sdk 4 install on device with os 4.2 ?
I made an app with ios sdk 4.0.1 but now i want to install it from xcode on ipod touch with os 4.2 but says No provisioned iPhone OS device is connected.
Yes. You can run Applications for previous versions of iOS on a device with iOS 4.2.
The other way around might not be true: you may not be able to run applications compiled specifically for iOS 4.2 on devices with previous versions of iOS.
Keep in mind that with iOS 4.2 SDK you CAN create applications for devices running lower version of iOS also. It depends on how you configure your project on info.plist and the APIs you use in your application.
Yes. There might be few cases of incompatibility, but they are very rare.
Edit: And in most cases, apps build against 4.2 will run on 4.0 just fine, if they use the new stuff wisely.
In almost all circumstances your app should run. It's very unlikely for it to produce any errors.

Testing iPhone app on older OS versions in Xcode

All,
Is there a way to download older versions of the iPhone simulator to test an application with an older version of the iPhone OS? I'm running Xcode 3.2.2. and it only has iPhone OS 3.1.3 and I need to test on 3.1.2.
Thanks in advance
Head to
http://connect.apple.com
Click "Developer Tools" on the right
You can get all the way back to Xcode 1.0 if you like
I've been trying to do the same thing. The answer seems to be rather unsatisfying: You cannot use the simulator to test if your app runs on a previous iOS version. It only works on the device, according to Apple:
iPhone OS Note: Mac OS X v10.6 does
not support using iPhone Simulator
SDKs prior to version 3.0. In
addition, when building with the
simulator SDKs, the binary runs only
on the same OS version as the SDK, not
on earlier or later versions.
This seems really dull. How am I supposed to test backwards compatibility without having one physical iPhone for each SDK version? Not good.
