ios testing ipod

I do not have iPhone developer account. I want to test my app on my iPod Touch.

iPod iOS version : 5.1 (9B176 build) Xcode Development SDK : 5.1 Simulators : iPhone 5.1 Retina/normal iPad 5.1 Retina/Normal

To bypass code signing etc, I changed changed the project settings like below.

Code signing identity   Don't code sign
  Debug                 Don't code sign
    Any iOS SDK         Don't code sign
Release                 Don't code sign
  Any iOS SDK           Don't code sign

I connected my iPod-Touch to my MacBook Pro, selected iPod as my target (instead simulator), built the project and ran it. Then I am getting the error "No Code Signature found."

Any help?

Note: I did not create any app certificate etc. (I don't have app dev account)

You can also get this error if a build gets interrupted partway through. It corrupts Xcode's internal data (why are they saving corruptible data? I have no idea).

Shut down xcode, and restart, do a fresh build ... and it will usually go away.
