I encountered the "This app could not be installed at this time" error. I have tried several methods such as reloading the simulator, deleting the app in the simulator and cleaning the Xcode project. However, it still has this error. I turned to the CoreSimulator file and found an error because of the CFBundle Identifier. Here is the log below:

Apr 26 18:49:49 kevins-air com.apple.dt.Xcode[27210] <Error>: installApplication:withOptions:error:: Error Domain=IXUserPresentableErrorDomain Code=1 "This app could not be installed at this time."

Sorry I couldn't turn it to code format. Here is a screenshot: Screenshot of error

DBS.app/Frameworks/HandySwift.framework did not have a CFBundleIdentifier in its Info.plist}}} shows that the HandySwift.framework did not have a CFBundleIdentifier in its Info.plist . What should I add to the property list? Here is a screenshot of my Info.plist.

info.plist

Please help me fix this error, thanks a lot!

I have faced same issue. After long research find below solution. Please follow it, I am sure it will work for you.

Solution: 1

Erase All content and settings.

Clean your project

Solution: 2

Changing the CFBundleShortVersionString in InfoPlist.strings to match the one in info.plist fixed this for me. I had to use the simulator's "Erase All Content and Settings" after making this change.

Solution: 3

I deleted pods from project and installed it again and it surprisingly works fine.

For remove pod file:

pod deintegrate

For install pod:

pod install

Then run again your project.
