“The run destination iOS Device is not valid for running the scheme”

Question

I\'ve been running my app on an iPhone 5 /iOS 6, but when I try to run it on an iPhone 4S / iOS6 I get \"The run destination iOS Device is not valid for running the scheme N

Answer 1

In my case the problem was missing executable value selected into Scheme -> Profile -> Executable (e selected from the dropdown build configuration debug and executable the "application".app).

Answer 2

For my case, check the target -> Build Settings -> Search "Mach-O Type" and check the value, it should be Executable/Dynamic Library/Static Library. For other type values, the target could NOT be built and run.

Answer 3

Quit and Reset Xcode can reslove most problem. The other cause is Device not support iPhone, you can

Target -> select scheme -> General -> Deployment Info -> Device-> select Universal or the current device you want.

Answer 4

its xcode bug，until 10.0 beta 3 (10L201y)

Answer 5

The run destination iPhone is not valid for Running the scheme.

• Quit Xcode
• Open Xcode
• Clean project
• Run project

It will work

Answer 6

I notice this with certain cable+device combinations (probably bad contact), restarting the XCode will only help for one or two runs and then it strikes again. Changing cable / device is the only long term solution worked for me.
