Error Starting Executable

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Error Starting Executable

Quite a few times in our iPhone application development cycle we would encounter XCode error “Error Starting Executable – No provisioned iPhone OS device is connected.” even when we know the device is connected to the machine. This error occurs when the connected device is not configured in the XCode->Organizer. Organizer would fail to mount the device as the version of XCode installed on the developer machine may not support the version of iPhone OS installed on the device.

If you select the device in the Organizer, then XCode would list you the supported iPhone OS versions as well as the OS Version of the device. (An organe dot aganist the device in Organizer indicates it has not been mounted properly.)

Thanks for the lead. Turned out my version of the iPhone (3.0.1) wasn’t supported by xcode. On Apple’s site there is a bulletin that advises running the following:

ln -s /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/3.0\ \(7A341\) /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/3.0.1

That did it. Thanks again for this post. It’s great that knowledgeable people like you are willing to share.
