The maximum number of apps for free development profiles has been reached

Question

I can't get any apps to run on my iPhone. I have uninstalled the apps on the device and from the window -> Devices section. Does anyone know how else to fix this?

@koen Unfortunately, no. I removed all of the installed apps and I've cleaned the build folder and I'm still getting the same error — , May 29 '20 at 20:26

I'm still fairly new to Xcode (less than a month and Swift is my first language), but I ran into the same problem as you and I understand how frustrating it is. After doing some digging and tinkering around, I found that the new iOS 13.5 and Xcode 11.5 Update kind of counted other apps as free developer apps.

I ran the app multiple times in an attempt to install and searched for the error on the console. You can click Window>Devices and Simulators>Open Console. Click on your phone and search [MIFreeProfileValidatedAppTracker]

Once you find it, it should list down apps that are installed. I deleted those apps one by one until it freed up some space to install the current app that I am building.

The console should open up something similar to this. I found that you can leave up to 4 installed applications. Good luck!

0x16d05f000 -[MIFreeProfileValidatedAppTracker _onQueue_addReferenceForApplicationIdentifier:bundle:error:]: 182: This device has reached the maximum number of installed apps using a free developer profile: {(
    "com.apple.Fitness",
    "Random",
    "com.apple.DocumentsApp",
    "Random"
)}

You are a lifesaver! I'm new to swift as well and this completely fixed my problem! Thank you so much for your help! :) — , May 30 '20 at 17:46
