XCode fails to run app on device, saying the program being debugged is not being run

Question

I\'m running Xcode, trying to get my app to run on my iphone. I\'m getting the error message \"the program being debugged is not being run.\"

Answer 1

I was having the same trouble and none of the above worked (even wiping / restoring the device).

Then I looked and saw that I had mistakenly set all my targets to use the adhoc distribution profile. Which doesn't support debugging.
