Argggh, I have built a couple Apps in Xcode 4 but I cannot remember/find how to add my live device to my schemes drop down. I have the simulator options, but in the newest project I created I do not have my iphone listed.
Can anyone tell me what I forgot to do??
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
EDIT: Any new project I create does not create anything for my Device, however, some of the sample apps I open have my device listed... there are a lot of developers out there... hopefully someone has had this issue and can shed some light on what I am not understanding.
I solved my own problem. I forgot that my device is ios 4.2, so to make it work in xCode, I need to change the deployment target to the correct ios version and it works as expected.
I've never had to do anything special, just plug the device in. After about 30 seconds or so it will show up as an option in your target list.

I was propted by apple to upgrade my debugger settings yesterday, In doing so I have some how broken xcode.
When ever I now try to load an application (dosn't matter what version of the simulator I am using) Xcode and my simulator both freeze up. then the rainbow loader just sits their constantly turning over.
Is there any way to fix this? I'm really stuck and don't know what to do as it dose not seem like a very common problem from all the research I have done to fix this.
I am running the latest version of xcode 4.3.2 (4E2002) and using 5.1 simulator.. and have tried 4.2 simulator to the same effect.
any help in getting my xcode back up and running would be massively appreciated.
Okay so I figured out what the problem is but not a real solution...
Basically the error started happening when I was prompted by xcode to update my debugger to the LLDB version. this is what cause my simulator to keep crashing xcode.. or vice versa honastly I still dont know why this is happening but yea...
so.. what I did to get this simulator working again was go to Product>edit scheme> debugger then changed from LLDB back to GDB.. this solved my issue for now... however I need to figure out why LLDB is not working and what I should do leading into the future. hope this helps someone else.
I have facing this problem too but I got a solution either you said its temporary ... some time ios 5.1 simulator hangs when I shifted to the ios 4.1 sdk its a common practice for the developer to check it I have simply first close the simulator and again start it and then reset all the content in the preference area that its resolved my issue .. check it might be you also got resolve for apply this trick or technique.
Thanks
In my case, was too many old breakpoints tracks (788), even to deleted files, I just clean it and now it runs perfect, I hope it helps.
A picture to illustrate:
I am new to iOS development. I was opening the .xib file in the editor and tried to make an iPad version of the app. I went to File > Make iPad Version. An iPad UI appeared. I closed it and didn't save it.
The problem now is that the app is now crashing when viewed from an iPad.
Thanks!
Here's an official answer or, to be more precise, a couple of useful tips from someone who is also new to ios development (4 months):
First of all, update your xcode version. If you are new, there is absolutely no point in starting with an older version. True, it may have a bit more tutorials but it's not that hard to find stuff for xcode 4. Trust me, been there, done that ;)
Second, if you run your app on a device and it crashes, you will get a crash log. Connect the ipad to your pc and open the organizer window from xcode. There, go to Devices and select the logs for your device. The log will help you detect the cause of your problem.
Third, when you will encounter more problems like this in the future, be more detailed when asking for help on stackoverflaw. Post more info, error logs, print screens, etc. Basically, anything that could help others help you
I'm really newbie in iOS and I have to handle a complicated situation. I was given an iPhone app developed by someone and I have to make it work. The guy who developed it has told me that it worked, but sometimes crashed in an iPhone. I've never developed using iOS and I don't really know how this app works.
Well, when I open the app with Xcode, the first problem that I detect is some errors with the references. The app uses the project CorePlot-CocoaTouch.xcodeproj. I've added again this project and solved the references (I've followed some other posts like this one: http://www.jaysonjc.com/programming/pie-chart-drawing-in-iphone-using-core-plot-library.html).
I want to test it with the simulator (I don't have an iPhone yet). I have a doubt here...should I use iOS Device, or iOS Simulator as Base SDK? Firstly I chose iOS Simulator, but it appeared a problem with Cocoa.framework (it turned into red).
Anyway, using iOS Device as Base SDK, I build the project and it says "Build failed (59 errors, 3 warnings)". I check out the errors, and most of them are "Expected specifier-qualifier-list before ..."
Can anyone help me? This is more or less the situation, but I can provide more specific details if they're needed.
I'm sorry if I'm talking about something really basic, but I've been trying to solve it for 2 weeks and I give up. I've tried to talk to the guy, but he's not really helpful..
Thanks for the replies!
By the way, I didn't say it and I don't know if it's relevant or what it means. The guy has a directory called "Libraries" where it's stored the CorePlot. The files there are the same than if you download the CorePlot project from other source. The only exception is a folder called "SDKBuild", which contains files like "build.sh", "iphoneos-SDKSettings.plist" or "iphonesimulator-SDKSettings.plist". I'm really newbie, so it's probably obvious, but I have no idea...
just try to add CocoaTouch framework to your project.
and for base SDK use "latest iOS".
Right click on the project name in 'group & files' set on the left of xcode. Choose add -> Existing Frameworks.
Find Cocoa.framwork and click add. Do this to all red colored framework.
Choose IOS Simulator as base SDK.
Try run it..
If you want to run the app on simulator, you have to build with iOS simulator. The base SDK basically sets the OS version (this will be the same regardless of whether you are running the app on simulator or device). You should be chaining the build settings to device only if the device is connected and if you have installed the appropriate provisioning profiles.
Today, after installing Xcode 4 with the 4.3 SDK, I attempted to launch my application. However, the application will build and the iOS Simulator will pop up, but I get a message in the window in Xcode that says "Attaching to YourApp" which stays there indefinitely. How can this problem be fixed?
I had the same problem, that is, when I launched my application in the simulator, Xcode was hung waiting for the simulator to start. The simulator showed a black screen - nothing at all.
Note this is a project that ran fine on Xcode 3 and is the exact set of files used to build the application that is currently for sale at the App Store.
Okay, so here's the underlying problem, and my solution:
My application name was "ultimateTimer.app", as seen in Xcode under the Products folder. However, this was NOT the name in the project file.
Here's how to found out:
Click on your project in Xcode (it's usually at the top, e.g. mine is called ultimateTimer.xcodeproj). Under "Build Settings" tab, look for the "Packaging" area and specifically for the "Product Name" variable. Under Product Name, I had three entries:
Debug
Distribution
Release
Under Debug, it had the value "TalkUltimateTimer" which was an old name of mine. When I changed this to "ultimateTimer" to match the "ultimateTimer.app" as above, I found the Xcode attached to the simulator correctly.
This happened for me for iPhone applications. I opened the simulator myself and switched the device to iPhone Retina Display and from then on it worked. I tried switching back, but it didn't work again, so I have had to keep it on the Retina Display simulator, and if I need to test non-Retina Display I'll use the iPad simulator.
I skimmed the post and these seem to be the two solutions thus far:
I think I figured out the problem:
I went to 'Edit Schemes', and for some reason, the scheme I was using was pointing at BumpDev.app as the executable instead of bumpdev.app. Changing this made things work. Perhaps there is an issue when converting from xc3 proj files?
Anyways, the app now boots in the simulator. Yay!
And the other solution in that post is:
Did your project by any chance have a folder reference with images in it?
For me the problem only happens when I have a folder reference in the project. When I remove the folder reference and instead add the folder as a group, clean the project, and hit launch things work fine. In the "Copy to Bundle" phase each image is then listed individually, whereas when I had a folder reference, the whole folder was listed.
This took me a really long time to figure out. It was quite frustrating, but I'm glad I have a workaround until the bug is fixed.
I had the same problem after swapping the mouse for a new one. restarting my iMac resolved the issue.
I just upgraded to Xcode 4.3.2 and had the same issue with new projects. After poking around and comparing projects, I found out that new projects were set to the LLDB dbugger and the projects that worked were using GDB.
After changing the debugger for the new project to GDB, it worked. I am yet to research what the differences are, but at least I can now run my new projects.
Ensure you are starting a proper scheme.
I. e. when using CocoaPods, running Pods scheme would not start emulator.
It's a known issue. Have a look at this thread in the official forum.
Hey, update Xcode to 4.0.2. Problem solved :)
I had the same problem, I tried every solution here, but no works. Finally, after I rebooted my computer, the problem was gone.
Restarting the simulator worked for me
Hii all,
I tried to test my application on the simulator and it fails. Just the day before it was working fine. i checked in the organizer window.. all the provision certificates are installed, but still the color is Orange,. its not working. and when i try to debug the application it shows "No provisioned iPhone connected" error.
I got the same problem before, at that time i changed the name of the folder which specify the iphone version, but unfortunately i don't remember now where that folder is. Can anyone help me please.. or is there any alternative.
Thanks,
Shibin
There are (at least) two possibilities here. As Alex says, if you are trying to run on the Simulator then you need to switch your active SDK to one of the Simulator options. The screen shot is of a rather old version of the SDK but the principle is the same.
If, on the other hand, you are trying to run on a phone that has worked before you usually just need to reboot your handset. Sometimes the process that the debugger connects to gets in a state and doesn't respond. Restarting usually works.
You can the No provisioned device connected error only when you try to test on the device. Did you check the active configuration of your project? In order to run the Simulator you should have the corresponding build configuration selected. See the screenshot: alt text http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7594/xcodeconfig.png
So you are seeing orange color status of the iphone in organizer? If it is the problem simply switch off your device and switch-on again. Try reconnecting the device. This solves my same problem most of the time.
Hope this helps.
