Ad Hoc distribution fails

Question

I get this on the iOS device logger after iTunes fails to install. I'll be happy for some help.

Answer 1

I'm going to guess this project or provisioning profile has some parts that predate Xcode4.

Somewhere you have get-task-allow entitlement set to true, and it needs to be set to false. Per other answers, that was needed to allow other processes like debugger to attach; but it's not allowed for ad hoc distribution.

But in XCode 4, you don't really need to set entitlements at all. From the release notes (emphasis mine)

I'm defining a custom Code Signing Entitlements file in Xcode but do I need it?

If you are defining a custom Code Signing Entitlements file within your Target > Build Settings, you might try removing that configuration entirely and rebuilding/resubmitting. More often than not, Code Signing Entitlements are defined unnecessarily. You only need to specify a custom Code Signing Entitlements file if your application is utilizing custom keychain access sharing or iCloud. Otherwise, remove the Code Signing Entitlements configuration from all build configurations on your Xcode project's Target > Build Settings, the rebuild and reattempt your submission/validation.

...

If you are unsure whether you need to define a Code Signing Entitlements file, it is safest to remove the configuration from your Target > Build Settings until you know for sure its need.
