We have paid developer account for iphone development and we have 2 iphones one jail broken and other one non jail broken. We have registered both phones for development and got provisioning profile. We can use non jailbroken phone for development. But we try to use jail broken phone for development we get message Error starting executable no Provisioned iphone device is connected.

But We can test application on it using ad hoc profile. Does this means jailbroken devices can not be used for development? Regards, Manish

I personally do development/testing on jailbroken devices (I find that it is nice for profiling/debugging with all the UNIX tools available, as well as testing out code for checking for tampered plist files ;-) ) as well as non jailbroken devices.

I have not had any problems specifically with jailbroken devices, as they behave exactly like stock standard firmwares..

Have you:

  • Added the UDID to the provisioning profile
  • Tried removing and adding the provisioning profile in XCode organizer
  • Rebooting the phone then trying to build an app targeting the device
