With my iPhone connected to my mac via 30-pin connector (standard apple/iphone cable) I of course test and run my app with Xcode building it to run on the device.
For some reason though, when I build and run, it installs on my device but doesn't go further than the loading screen of the app with Default.png showing.
Then if I stop the build in Xcode it quit the application, then I run in manually on my device and the new build is there for me to test, but I just don't know why I have to do that and it doesn't just run past the loading screen when building?
This happened to me once after I added some certificates. I removed the build directory (MyApp/build/) and then did a clean and then build again, and everything miraculously worked. You might try that.

Developing an iPhone application on Xcode 4.5.2. Device: iPhone 4.
I was preparing my application for sending it to someone through testflight. I created a distribution profile and certificate for this. I did it following this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11917884/555690
Anyway, recently, Xcode is unable to launch my project. When I press Run, it will successfully build and copy the files to the device, but when attempting to launch it, it will send an error:
Error launching remote program: No such file or directory
(/Users/Me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyGame-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyGame.app/MyGame).
I'm not sure why is this happening.
A very similar question is this: Xcode successfully builds my target, but does not run the product, however, it seems to be more oriented to OSX instead of iOS, and the solutions there haven't helped me either. Also, I do get an error (he doesn't get an error).
If I run the app in the device (without Xcode), it works fine.
Yes, this happens a lot in the new Xcode.
One recipe that should work is:
disconnect the device from computer
delete app from device
reset the device
quit the xcode (not just by closing the project, quit the program)
in Finder go to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
(Library folder is hidden: you can open Finder->Go->Go to Folder...)
delete all subfolders there
empty the trash
reconnect the device
open the project
now you should be able to run the app on the device again
I just tried to get my own app on my iPhone without a developer account. The following are steps I did:
I patched Xcode and my project (Currency.xcodeproj) with JailCoder
I want to build the project with "iOS device" in Xcode. But I got a error message like "no device found". So I ran it in the emulator and I got the currency.app-file in /Users/Dogan/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Currency-gjxrulouxbmjslbzslsplyehgfgm/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator
SSH to iPhone in /var/mobile/Applications
Creating a new folder named FADE9826-4878-4458-B5BE-90AD4EB60FDF (I have to take a valid UDID. Have I use to specific tools to create a UDID? I have the UDID from an other example). I also created a directory in this folder with the name "Documents".
chown -R mobile FADE9826-4878-4458-B5BE-90AD4EB60FDF
scp -r Currency.app root#IP-ADRESS-OF-IPHONE:/var/mobile/Applications/FADE9826-4878-4458-B5BE-90AD4EB60FDF/
Restarting Springboard in SSH with "killall SpringBoard"
I got the app, but it doesn't work. Every time on click, it crashes and kicks me to the home screen. Had I missed something?
You missed that simulator builds don't work on iPhones, because they are built for the wrong CPU type. Simulator builds are Intel x86 apps, and the iPhone has an ARM CPU.
There might be other problems (I don't know how jailcoder works) but there's no way you're getting the simulator build running on the phone.
After downloading Jailcoder and going through the guided patch of Xcode and then patching your project, if your device is plugged into your computer, select the target type (where you can select simulator, iOS Device, etc.) and there should be a listing of your device's name.
Today, m getting strange problem. My app is not running on device(Jailbreak). Earlier I have run other app on the device. Yesterday, I have formatted device, now application is not running on the iPhone - 4.2.1.
I have added all the required things like provisioning profile. I have also checked in apple developer site. that device is added to that portal.
I have targeted my application to 4.2 as my device version is 4.2.1.
No error is coming when m trying to run the app. only it ends in “finished running app on iphone”.
M not getting where and what m missing..
Reset the Simulator . Delete the Build File. And Restart the xCode. And Run the yor Project.I Hope it will help you.
Go to your project and delete the build folder. Clean all the installed provision profile from device then restart Xcode. Hope it will help you.
Delete the Build File, Reset the Simulator , And Restart the xCode. And than run your project. and got output on device.
I've just set up a new computer and now trying to install my app onto my device through xcode. I've installed the certificates, developer provisioning files, etc..
The app is being installed onto my device, but none of the .png files are being loaded. So my app has the UIButtons and UILabels but nothing else is showing up in my app. Even though the simulator is running the app perfectly.
This app was just installing fine on my old computer to my device, with all the files included. Same version of Xcode and I'm not aware of any changes to settings I made that would have caused this.
No issues or errors when building the app, everything looks good.
Xcode 4.2.1, iPhone 4S 5.0
Thank you
There's sometimes strange things like that which cache themselves in the DerivedData or BuildIntermediates folders of your Xcode project so rebuilding doesn't actually get any changes through. You may want to try Product > Clean and then build again, and then if nothing changes jump into the Xcode Organizer (Window > Organizer) and delete the Derived Data from the project. This will force a reindex of all the project files and any trace of prior builds will be deleted. It should then pick up all of the images as listed in your Copy Bundle Resources build phase(s).
Via Xcode is there a quick way to deploy an app you've just compiled to an attached iPhone without actually launching it on the phone?
My scenario is that I've tested it out my app just fine in the simulator, now I just want to deploy it to my provisioned iPhone, grab the device and go without running it then and there. Sure, I can just hit build & run after I've set the target settings to release & device, but that attempts to initiate a GDB session and it even complains if my phone is in screen lock mode.
Not a huge problem of course, and I'm not really asking how to deploy the same app to a lot of other testers who weren't involved in the development and aren't running Xcode, just if I might have missed some kind of 'build & deploy' option that doesn't attempt to run the app.
You could always build and archive, save it somewhere and copy it via iTunes... I doubt it is much faster or any more convenient. I'll use Build'n'Run all the time and stop with stop button or home button. At least you make sure that it actually runs and starts on the device. :-)
