Problem running iPhone application on iPhone from Xcode (and in Instruments)

iphone xcode instruments

I have a problem running one application on the iPhone from Xcode (or Instruments). When I try to run the app I get the error message Failed to upload XXX.app in the bottom left corner of Xcode. The strange thing is it actually uploaded the app to the iPhone but it doesn't start it (after this I can start the app by hand on the iPhone).

So without being able to start the app from Xcode or instruments I have no chance of debugging/performance testing.

Any advice on what might be going wrong here?

The iPhone console shows me this:

Thu Oct  1 14:25:18 unknown mobile_installationd[1976] <Error>: 00808e00 install_embedded_profile: Skipping the installation of the embedded profile
Thu Oct  1 14:25:23 unknown SpringBoard[25] <Warning>: Reloading and rendering all application icons.

Other applications work fine. I've tried this on two iPhones (both 3.1) with the same result. I am running Xcode 3.2 on SnowLeopard.

Regards

This happened to me as well (more than once). I ultimately had to restart Xcode to resolve the problem (after verifying the code signing settings were correct, the provisioning profile was installed, etc..).
