iPhone Debugging How to resolve failed to get the task for process

Question

I have just added a provisioning profile to XCode  needed to support notifications and in app purchase   setup as needed the build configuration for ad hoc distribution  and tried to run the app on the device  I have done this several times in the past  without any problem    The app is installed  but it does not start  On the console  I see the following message   Error launching remote program  failed to get the task for process 82  Error launching remote program  failed to get the task for process 82  The program being debugged is not being run  The program being debugged is not being run    However  if I start the application on the device manually  it works as expected  I have recently installed the latest XCode 3 2 for Snow Leopard  Is this a known bug of this version of XCode or am I doing something wrong   EDIT  It works fine with release distribution using the development provisioning profile  I have checked again the ad hoc provisioning profile to make sure it includes the device I am using

It might be that you have an expired development profile on your phone.

My development provisioning profile expired several days ago and I had to renew it. I installed the new profile on my phone and came up with the same error message when I tried to run my app. When I looked at the profile settings on my phone I noticed the expired profile and removed it. That cleared the error for me.

As stated by Buffernet  you cannot use a distribution provisioning profile to debug  When I switched to a developer provisioning profile  I got the error  A Valid Provisioning Profile For This Executable Was Not Found    A quick google for this lead me to the article listed below  From there  I realised that I hadn t got a valid development provisioning profile as my iPhone hadn t been added to the Provisioning Portal and all the other stuff involved   Make sure you run an iPhone developer provisioning profile and your device has been added to the provisioning portal   http   iosdevelopertips com xcode a-valid-provisioning-profile-for-this-executable-was-not-found html

I received this error when I tried to launch app from Xcode as I figured I had selected distribution profile only  Build was successful so I created  ipa file  I used testflightapp com to run the app  You can use iTunes as well

If you are getting such error  the only reason could be you using a Distribution profile rather than a development profile in Xcode or a missing Entitlement property  If you are not using the Entitlements plist  then the only possible error could be the app is getting packaged with a distribution profile  You could verify this confirming the build logs  To change this  go to Build Setting of the project and verify Code Signing Entity setting  For debugging to work  this setting should be a developer profile for the configuration that you are currently using   https   developer apple com library ios  qa qa1682  index html  For instant results  delete all mobile provisioning profiles from xcode and install the developer profile that you intend to use

I just changed my bundleIdentifier name  that seemed to do the trick

The ad-hoc profile doesn t support debugging  You need to debug with a Development profile  and use the Ad-Hoc profile only for distributing non-debuggable copies

Open Entitlements plist and set the boolean value get-task-allow to YES - the debugger can attach now

This took me a while to figure out   If you are using a distribution   ad hoc  profile you cannot test it through xcode   You will get the error  The program being debugged is not being run   You can build the app  go to the products folder in your app in xcode  click on the file with your project name and choose reveal in finder   You can drag this app into into iTunes and sync and that point you can test your app on your device

Yes   Provisioning profiles which are for distribution purpose  i e  Distrutions provisioning profiles do not support debugging and gives this error  Simply create and use debug provisioning profile  take care of this when creating provisioning profile from developer apple com account

I have had problems debugging binaries on the device via XCode when the app includes an Entitlements plist file  which is not necessary to install onto the device for debugging  In general  then  I have included this file for release builds  where it is required for the App Store  and removed it for debugging  so I can debug the app from XCode   That may be your problem here   Update  As of  at least  August 2010  iPhone 4 1 SDK  the Entitlements plist is no longer necessary to include in your application in many cases  e g   distribution through the App Store   See here for more information on the cases when Entitlements plist is required      IMPORTANT  An Entitlements file is generally only needed when building for Ad Hoc Distribution or enabling Keychain data sharing  If neither of these is true  delete the entry in Code Signing Entitlements   emphasis mine

I Had the same issue  but resolved it by following simple following steps     Make sure you have selected debug rather than release  In Debug configurations  in project settings  you should have selected developer s profile  amp  no need of specifying the entitlements plist  Also same setting are there under  Targets    if not manuall change them to the above for the debug config  It will work    All the best
