EDIT: My problem was because the plist file was corrupted . So if you have the same issue, probably is because of something in you plist file.

SO i have this app and everything worked just fine until i updated my device to IOS 6. After that i couldn't install the app on the device . The app worked just fine on IOS 5.0 simulator and IOS 6.0 simulator . When i try to build it for device , the splash screen appears for two second and then the app closes . In Xcode i receive this error :

timed out waiting for app to launch

I searched the web and it said that it is a AdHoc provisioning problem but my provisioning profiles are in order . I even changed the app id and deleted the old provisioning and i got the same error .

In the device console i receive this weird error :

Oct 15 23:48:23 iPad2-3G backboardd[51] <Warning>: Launch Services: Registered unknown app identifier InvoiceAppDev

��Oct 15 23:48:45 iPad2-3G installd[30] <Error>: entitlement 'com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers' has value not permitted by a provisioning profile

I don't have any clue what happened . Does anybody has any idea why this happened ?

    after the app fails, does it show on the device? You might also try deleting the app from the device and then try again? – nycynik Oct 15 '12 at 21:01

    reboot everything. device and computer. set breakpoint for exceptions. delete and reinstall from clean build. the console messages aren't familiar, but they sure do look to be a provisioning issue. – bshirley Oct 15 '12 at 21:12

    and then there's the classic arm6 problem wherein you're not building the app for the phone's architecture because settings have changed out from under you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198676/warning-iphone-apps-should-include-an-armv6-architecture-even-with-build-config – bshirley Oct 15 '12 at 21:14
  • i am facing the same problem can anyone give proper solution for how to fix it. – Ketan Shinde Oct 23 '12 at 10:21
  • for me it was because of the .plist file . I replaced it with an old version that i had and everything worked fine . – flaviusilaghi Oct 25 '12 at 08:51
  • Are you using a development provisioning profile? – snez Mar 21 '13 at 10:22
  • Can you show us full log file contents? – Marcus Thornton Jul 19 '13 at 03:15

I saw the same error caused by the accidental entry of the following blank field in app.plist:

+   <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key>
+   <string></string>

I had the exact same symptoms. Believe it or not, I changed my target code signing from distribution to developer and everything worked as expected.

Thanks @nycynik - that solved the problem. In xcode open the the "Organizer", choose the device (ex. iPhone), select "Application" and delete the previous Version of the App. Than run again.
