I'm subscribing to Adobe CC just for FB and Flash Pro. This bug seems undocumented but is hugely annoying. It has not always been this way - it developed over time, and for awhile if I toggled wifi and restarted it would work again. It is definitely not a workspace corruption; I've reinstalled FB, I've tried different workspaces. What happens is that when wifi is on, or as long as the computer is allocated an external IP, Flash Builder 4.7 works. If wifi is off, or if it fails to find a network, FB crashes before it tries to load the workspace.
Interestingly, if I create a wifi network, assigning my own box a 192.168.. address, FB launches. But if I turn off wifi while FB is open, it throws an error when I try to save files, and throws another error when I quit, saying it can't save the workspace. It's beyond me why, but FB is obviously failing read/write in the absence of a non-local IP being allocated to the box.
This happens even with a clean install and no projects or dependencies.
Has anyone encountered this one? FWIW, I'm also running Eclipse Helios and Kepler, as well as Flash Builder 4 on the same box for maintaining older code - plus Flash Pro and the rest of the CC without any problems. What is up with FB 4.7 ?! I wish Adobe had just put out a damn Eclipse plugin instead of this pile of **** I'm paying $50 a month for. To be an IDE that fails whenever I can't get online.
I can't upgrade OS X on this box, but I doubt it would make a difference, since this is a Java error of some kind and FB hasn't been updated since 2013 or so anyway. It used to work. Unless I got infected with a worm that's trying to upload things I write, I don't see a reason it stopped unless some perms or base code got corrupted. Any insight would be welcome.
This turns out to be a problem with localhost domain resolution on OS X. A workaround can be found here:

On my "Develop" menu, in Safari, the iPhone no longer appears after updating Safari to the latest version, making it impossible to inspect and debug sites and apps.
I restarted the iPhone, killed and relaunched Safari, restarted my Mac too, but the issue is still there. Affects both Safari mobile and phonegap applications.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
FWIW, I tried all of these suggestions, and it worked briefly after resetting Privacy & Location settings but stopped working immediately after.
What ended up working as a long term solution was to turn both WiFi and Bluetooth off on the iPhone while connected to the Mac.
Turns out, my issue was that the update to the latest iOS version disabled the "Web Inspector" settings on my iPhone.
To re-enable it, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced.
In our case we needed to reset the trust between iPhone & Mac. From iPhone Settings > General > Reset choose reset Privacy & Location and also Network Settings. The phone reboots, we reconnected to the laptop, tapped Yes to Trust this Computer and now Mac Safari can once again debug mobile Safari.
What helped for me was the following:
Open Xcode
On the Menu: Window -> Devices and Simulators
Check the Connect via network checkbox. (If it is already selected then uncheck it and re-check)
In my case, resetting only Privacy & Location did the job (but only temporarily, see update below!).
Try only resetting that before resetting your whole network settings for nothing!
Almost immediately after reset, the "Trust this Computer" popup appeared and after trusting my device appeared in the Develop menu.
Update:
I kept having regular issues with this (having to reset it multiple times per day, restarting Safari and a combination of other things) until I found the real fix here:

#BearSnowstorm:
One more tip to try - after trying many of the above suggestions I
turned off "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" in iTunes.
Voila! Got my iPhone into the Develop menu!
(for context, this is in Mojave 10.14.6, iOS 13.1.3, Safari 13.0.3)
My comment on that answer describes the same thing but updated for Catalina:
I had recurring issues with this and the only way I could make it work (sometimes) was to reset Location & Privacy, close Safari, unplug my device, etc. It was always a temporary fix though and the issues would come back very quickly. This however seems to work more permanently! I confirm what #Florian said: the setting was off by default for me, turning it on then off (after letting the sync finish) worked. On Catalina, this setting is named "Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi" under General when you select your iDevice in the Finder.
Reading that answer my instinct was that it could not possibly make a difference, but it does! I have had zero issues since I did this. Try it!
Some cables (even official Apple Lightning Connector) don't support this feature because of some damage inside. My Lightning Connector was able to charge the iPhone but prevented to use dev tools on the Mac. I used another cable to successfully connect to dev tools.
In my case, this was totally a network issue.
Everything works well when I used 4G network.
If I use my wi-fi, safari failed to detect my device.
Turning off wifi on the iPhone allows it to appear in the develop menu.
The best and permanent solution in Catalina is to open a new Finder window, select in sidebar, then check 'Show this iPhone when on wifi'.
To disable caches (and to avoid constantly having to delete website data) open your site in a new Private Window. Changes to stylesheets will then update as normal.
Seems the front ports of my Mac Pro were not working correctly, plugged the cable on the keyboard port and I was able to connect to the dev tools.
I know all these tricks but after installing Catalina none of them worked. What DID work for me was Settings > Developer > Clear Trusted Computers. Strangely, the phone appears in the Safari Developer menu on the Mac, but the phone never asked to re-trust the computer!
The phone disappears again sometimes, but the same trick gets it back.
MacOS and iOS still look beautiful, but both are turning into a messy pigsty underneath. I sometimes wonder if Apple still even cares. :(
I've tried with the reset of Privacy and Location but it didn't work. What worked for me was disabling the hotspot from the phone. With the hotspot active Safari doesn't shows the iPhone in the developer menu.
Crazy but true, when i disconnected bluetooth and tried to check under develop option, connected device was shown.
In my case the only solution was to reboot my Macbook... stupid but effective solution
My solution was simply to move the cable to a different USB port.
reboot fix everything，works for me.
In my case, I was working from home and had a VPN tunnel to my work that was redirecting all traffic through my company's network. Disabling that revealed the phone in the Develop menu again.
As an alternative, connecting with VPN and disabling WIFI and Bluetooth works.
I started noticing that it was taking several minutes (5-10) to build and run apps on my iPhone 4S from Xcode. I was running XCode 4.5.2 and iOS6.0 on my 4S and decided to figure out the problem. There was another similar question posted here but it was closed without a definitive answer. (which is a shame since this is a valid concern for folks.) I am reposting the question to explain what I observed. Hopefully it will help someone.
First I rebooted my Mac after several impatient attempts to install a relatively small app seemed to hang. I tried removing all of my old provisioning profiles from my Mac and my iPhone thinking I was having trouble with expired certs/profiles. I tried a few more times and decided to let it just hang to see what happens. It eventually launched the app on my device after about 5-10 minutes. I Googled around and found some hints that maybe I should try rebooting my iPhone and re-synching with iTunes. (I had already made an unsuccessful attempt at synching which also seemed to take forever.) On my next attempt to synch I decided to remove some larger apps (700+MB) to clear space since I was down to my last GB.
Things were still slow so I decided to reboot my iPhone and then re-synching it. I rebooted my phone and went to sync in iTunes again and this time the sync went quickly. I had cleared an extra 3+GB leaving me about 4+GB of free space. I restarted XCode and my app is now installing quickly.
My take-away is such that I believe there may be extra daemons running over time on the device and restarting my phone is what ultimately helped restore install times. Also, I'm not sure if clearing space helped or not. I would like to know what the root cause/solution is but that depends on others having similar experiences and responding.
i'm new into programming for android. And i have few problems with connecting and debugging my eclipse project on android device - which is my phone Samsung Galaxy SIII. According to this link I tried to launch my app on my phone. Saddly when i press run button it tells me that there's no android device connected. And as you may know im not that dumm to not plug it into my computer. Additionally i have USB Debug mode ticked in options. My PC recognises it as "SAMSUNG Android ADB Device".
Some of you might say that i should start using emulator to have better view how this app will work on other phones/versions of android/etc. Thing is that my PC is quite old, and running an emulator makes it respond so slowly that it's nearly impossible to do anything on this emulated device. Plus... im quite sure that i wont publish this app on play store so i dont need to know if it will work on other devices. I just want to make a weather widget for me since stock one that uses accuweather.com tends to fail weather forecast for my country (like it says heavy rain on sunny day).
So here are the things that i have done so far to try to launch:
1. Uninstalled device and set some new drivers that should have helped me - saddly not ;]
2. Tried launching it via command line
3. I found somewhere on the Internet that it is possible to connect and test your app via WiFi using tcpip over 5555 port... saddly it failed too.
Any ideas what else should i try to make it work?
I have an iPhone app that I'm trying to run on my phone via Xcode.
It installs and runs without an issue
I make a change in the source code (negligible, like an NSLog())
It installs without an issue
Running causes the error:
Error Starting Executable 'myApp'
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
I uninstall the app, and reboot the phone
It installs and runs without an issue (until I make another change; then I have to repeat this dance)
Needless to say, having to uninstall the app, reboot the phone, and reinitialize the environment (i.e. set prefs) takes an unreasonable amount of time, and is probably indicative of a serious problem. The issue is, the only vague error message I receive gets me nowhere on Google. Where on earth could this issue be coming from?
With some help from #iphonedev, I figured it out. Turns out it's a glitch in iOS 5 beta. The way to fix it is to remove the device from Development Devices, then re-add it.
Yeah just restarting the iPhone with the lock and home buttons fixes this. Had it happen a few times to me
