1. Select Window ➜ Organizer in Xcode. Now under Devices, select your device. If it is not ready for development then click use for development.

2. If above doesn't solve your problem then from your project settings, set deployment target to one which your app is developed for or lesser.

3. Otherwise there is some issue with certificates and provisioning profiles. Make sure your device's UDID is added in the provisioning profile you are using.

In my case I did next steps

4. Relaunch Xcode
5. Connect device
