'Unable to install iOS app on device. Domain: com.apple.dt.MobileDeviceErrorDomain Code: -402653179

I am trying to build an iOS app on a device. I am able to build the project fine, but running into an issue when trying to get the app on device. When attempting to run, I am getting a Unable to install app error message from Xcode and the app is not installed on device. The detailed error message is as shown below:

System Information

macOS Version 10.15.7 (Build 19H2)
Xcode 12.0.1 (17220)

I am a registered Apple Developer on a paid developer program. I am using the up-to-date version of macOS and Xcode.

I have tried by deleting project derived data, restarting the device, Xcode as well as the Mac. I have created a vanilla project and tried to run it on device with success, but could not do the same with my working project.

What are the steps that I can try to resolve?

ios xcode

Solution 1:^[1]

I also had this exact same issue and error code. I was trying to run a newer development version of my app on an older phone that had a much older version of the app.

I found if I deleted the old version of the app from the phone then Xcode could then install the new version when I plugged in.

In between these two events my distribution certificates etc were renewed, not 100% sure if that was related but it worked for me by removing all old versions of the app.

Solution 2:^[2]

I had the same problem with different targets. One target had a PRODUCT_NAME=AppName and the other target Appname (notice the caps). Whenever I built Appname then AppName and then again Appname, it would show black screen and some error about scenedelegate file not found.

Renaming Appname to AppnameGibberish resolved this error.

Solution 3:^[3]

I have exact the same issue, when I switch branch to a much older repo long time ago, if I happen to run pod install, it will run out dated pods into the repo. And if you switch back to the latest repo, even you have run the pod install, it will just use the same old pod sdk you were using in the older repo. The solution is looking into the error description, uninstall that pod sdk from pod, and then re install that pod. To me, it's mapbox sdk uninstall and re-install, and then I am able to run the app.

Solution 4:^[4]

Deleting the app on device and then re-building fixed the problem for me.

Solution 5:^[5]

I removed the app on my iPhone then I tried again. It's fixed my issue

Solution 6:^[6]

I have recently faced this issue and fixed, I have followed below steps, in developer portal, from Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I have selected profile option development I have selected my iPhone for installation after that I have selected profile option distribution I have valid certificate. after that I have download distribution profile and imported in xcode. Now build is installed in my Device.

Solution 7:^[7]

Reboot your Mac
Reboot your iDevice
Start Xcode
Connect iDevice by cable
Open Devices & Simulators, wait for pairing
Build & Run again

Solution 8:^[8]

You need to include the file in the target membership. Somehow you remove your target membership from any extension or class. Try this.

Solution 9:^[9]

For me, this issue popped up after switching branches. After trying suggestions here and elsewhere, running pod install fixed it for me.
