XCode fails to run app on device, saying the program being debugged is not being run

Question

I\'m running Xcode, trying to get my app to run on my iphone. I\'m getting the error message \"the program being debugged is not being run.\"

Answer 1

I just had to power off my iPhone device and restart the same.

I tried in this order:

1. Delete app in Xcode.
2. Delete build folder in Finder.
3. Restart device.

Only 3. worked for me.

imp: My Provisoning profiles are valid for almost a year and there was no reason for them to expire (I even cross-checked them to be doubly sure :)). If this hadn't work, I would have checked - as someone rightly suggested, if Developer provisioning profile was being used - which was, in my case.
