EDIT: My problem was because the plist file was corrupted . So if you have the same issue, probably is because of something in you plist file.

SO i have this app and everything worked just fine until i updated my device to IOS 6. After that i couldn't install the app on the device . The app worked just fine on IOS 5.0 simulator and IOS 6.0 simulator . When i try to build it for device , the splash screen appears for two second and then the app closes . In Xcode i receive this error :

timed out waiting for app to launch

I searched the web and it said that it is a AdHoc provisioning problem but my provisioning profiles are in order . I even changed the app id and deleted the old provisioning and i got the same error .

In the device console i receive this weird error :

I don't have any clue what happened . Does anybody has any idea why this happened ?

I saw the same error caused by the accidental entry of the following blank field in app.plist:

+   <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key>
+   <string></string>
