Flutter: unable to install "Runner" error when trying to install flutter app to real iOS device

Question

I am using iPhone 8 (Version 13.3.1), and a MacBook air (Version 10.14.6). I have set 'team' to personal team in Xcode > general. Then I click the button on the top left corner to run it. I received error like this even I have deleted the apps that I have installed before on the same phone with the sample apple id:

Removing the app from the device worked for me.

In Xcode go to Window → Devices under Installed Apps delete some apps, and afterwords you could run your app

I have checked, there aren't any installed apps. – Vanice Leung Feb 25 '20 at 13:27
have you tried with other certificates, does it work – Sagar Acharya Feb 25 '20 at 13:45

Thanks, it works. Turns out there's a limit of 3 apps that can be installed for non-paying app developers. – Tox Oct 28 '21 at 04:38

I fixed it by renaming the bundle ID

The bundle ID it was complaining about had been used in the past on my phone, with a different app, coming from a different TestFlight account and build.

It's because of the debug App Quantity in your real device. Max 3 apps are able to run from Xcode to your real device for real debugging for further more just uninstall the app. Try to uninstall some of your test app then try to install the new debug app from xcode.Now it will work.

Goto Xcode
Runner > General,
Under Identity, Change "Bundle Identifier",
Run app to the real device,
If you want, change the "Bundle Identifier" back to the original one.

I did all 5 steps , and worked perfectly , thanks to Rens.

I think if only removing the apps won't work it needs the change the build number. – Mohammed_7aafar Sep 04 '22 at 08:47

I simply changed the build number, it worked just fine.

possible ways: (maybe one of them works)

change the build number.
change the team.
delete the app from the phone or from installed apps in window -> Devices
unplug the usb cable.
change the bundle identifier.

Try changing the lightning cable for another, use a certificate for more security, that's what I did and it worked

What certificate are you referring to? Where do I get a certificate? How can I use it once I have it? – Stack Underflow Dec 10 '21 at 19:54

I too faced this issue. Removing the app from Window > Devices and Simulators didn't do it for me. What worked was renaming the bundle id. This allowed me to run it again, but I was also able to then rename it back to the original and get it to run.

Deleting the app from the device and removing any uncommitted git changes to the ios files worked for me.
